Dahn Yoga Boston

These are the lyrics to a beautiful song that Ariadne, a Dahn Instructor who used to be in the Boston area, used to like to sing. I’ve always thought it was beautiful and inspiring…a good thing to share

Live Up to the Light That Thou Hast

The first gleam of light
the cold light of morning
brings the promise of day
with its noontime glory
It dawned on me
as I mused on my state
in great sadness
The words that came to my spirit
how true and how clearly they rang:

Oh, live up to the light
the light that thou hast
live up to the truth
and remember, my child
you are never alone
no, never
oh, live up to the light that thou hast
and more will be granted thee
will be granted thee
oh, live up to the light thou hast.

I do not regret
the troubles and doubts
that I have journeyed through
They keep teaching me
patience and humble devotion
Forget not in darkness
what, in the light,
you knew to be the truth

Oh, live up to the light
the light that thou hast
live up to the truth
and remember, my child
you are never alone
no, never
oh, live up to the light that thou hast
and more will be granted thee
will be granted thee
oh, live up to the light thou hast.
