Loving The Silent Tears: The Musical, Part 14 of a Multi-part Series

Please join us as the cast of “Loving the Silent Tears” presents a special song written by 2-time Academy Award-winning composer Al Kasha based on Supreme Master Ching Hai’s poetry, entitled “Take Each Other’s Hand.”

“Let us love like a cascading waterfall! Let us love like the stormy ocean on a wintry shore! Let us love like the howling wind, Let us love like the pouring rain…

Let’s take each other’s hand, Soaring above the realm of chaos. To gaze down on life, Our laughter resonating through Heaven and Earth. My very dear! Let’s take each other’s hand

Why must we cry When we may laugh? Why must we forsake bliss In search of suffering? We will hold each other close, Speaking words of compassion

Let’s take each other’s hand, Soaring above the realm of chaos. To gaze down on life, Our laughter resonating through Heaven and Earth. My very dear! Let’s take each other’s hand

Then people will cease to be in pain Then love will brighten the world. In a thousand places, angels will dance Glory be Heaven and human!”

“You had the Sufis twirling, whirling, and then you had the belly dancers, and then you had the Hasidic Jews. You had everybody there all together in one. It was just what the Supreme Master stands for, which is bringing everyone together in peace and harmony.”

“The unity in the room is so great, the love from everyone. There’s a lot of joy.” “I think it changed a lot of lives tonight. All of it has kind of just been a life-changing experience, and the feeling of the area, the energy in here is just so amazing. So, just to see the camaraderie of everyone coming together…”

“It was just an overall positive experience. And I know it sounds like I’m just trying to be positive – no. It really was an overall positive experience. The directors, with Vincent Paterson and Lula Washington Dance Theatre, she just has an amazing spirit within her company. And to bring it to a production of a director that has an amazing spirit…” “It’s just a loving family. And I’ve never worked with people like that, where it’s a production where everybody is there to take care of each other, love each other, support each other. And I feel like I’m going to go back to Korea with this great feeling of support, with this bond I made.” “I’ve realized that what I’m doing is not for myself, I’m doing this for others, I’m doing this for my culture, I’m doing this for the Supreme Master.”
