The Pickaxe by Rumi - interpreted by Coleman Barks The Pickaxe by Rumi - interpreted by Coleman Barks and adapted by me for the recital Tenebre’s Tale. A powerful poem about the treasure that lies within all of us and the challenges we face to discover and accept it. Full text below:

Tear down this house.  A hundred thousand new houses can be built from the transparent yellow gem buried beneath it, 

and the only way to get to that is to do the work of demolishing and then digging under the foundations. 

With that gem in hand all new construction will be done without effort.
And anyway, sooner or later this house will fall on its own. 

The jewel treasure will be uncovered, but it won’t be yours then.  The buried wealth is your pay for the doing the demolition, the pick and shovel work.
 
If you wait and just let it happen, you’d bite your hand and say, “I didn’t do as I knew I should have.” This is a rented house.  You don’t own the deed.
You have a lease, and you’ve set up a little shop, where you barely make a living sewing patches on torn clothing.
Yet only a few feet underneath are two veins pure red and bright gold gem.  Quick! Take the pickaxe and pry the foundation.  You’ve got to quit this seamstress work.
 
What does the patch-sewing mean, you ask.  Eating, drinking and sex.  The heavy cloak of the body is always getting torn.

You patch it with food, and other restless ego-satisfactions. Rip up one board from the shop floor and look into the basement.  You’ll see two glints in the dirt. - Rumi

Being Alive from Sondheim’s Company. There are Being Alive from Sondheim’s Company. 

There are a few songs that, when I listen to them, bring me to deep emotional catharsis. This is one of them. Its lyrics, musical structure and dramatic arc join together to move me at the very core. 

In darker moments of life, I listened (and sang along 🤣) to this song for inspiration and motivation. I would weep with emotion, feeling an intense desire to free myself from the things inside my mind that held me back from truly being myself. 

This performance comes from the recital “Tenebre’s Tale: A Musical Journey Through Psychoanalysis”. I produced it in collaboration with The Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia and @avaopera 

Keep your 👀 peeled for more clips from the show. Full video link is in the bio ❤️
