Perhaps nothing more fully expresses the spirit of Jennifer’s lifework
than the recent performances of “Song For All Beings."
A large-scale multimedia cirque de spirit,
these events featured over 100 artists
and included Bruce Cockburn, Joanna Macy,
Ferron, Jack Kornfield, Anam Thubten Rinpoche,
Sarah Dugas, Raz Kennedy, and many others.
Song For All Beings Live!
was released as a DVD/video recording of the 2017 show.
In these Arms
A Song for all Beings
© (p) Jennifer Berezan
I cannot turn my eyes, I cannot count the cost
Of all that has been broken, all that has been lost
I cannot understand, the suffering that life brings
War and hate and hunger
And a million other things
When I've done all that I can
And I try to do my part
Let sorrow be a doorway
Into an open heart
And the light on the hills is full of mercy
The wind in the trees it comes to save me
This silence it will never desert me
I long to hold the whole world in these arms
May all beings be happy
May all beings be safe
May all beings everywhere be free
