the injured life produces treasure

"A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster. The treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured life. If we had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we will not produce the pearl."  ~Stephan Hoeller 

Judgement Day, Lyrics by Rick Beerhorst                                   

For every bell that is ringing, for every saw that cuts the wood                                                  
There’s a girl some where crying, and a boy that’s misunderstood
Now there’s a sink full of dishes, and a kite full of wind
I pound another nail in the cross, every time I sin  

Chorus

     I stacked the wood pile, I spread the straw
     I butchered our last chicken  
     Pulled the dead tooth from my jaw

Like a song that’s been forgotten, like a key that’s been lost
Every single flower died, in last night’s hard frost
So stack up all your kisses, and melt away like a bar of soap
Baby you’ll know where to find me, right at the end of my rope

Chorus

Yes this ship it is sinking, and the sky is caving in
But our hearts go right on beating while the snow is blowing in
Grab your winter coat and throw your o’l dice away
Cause the storm clouds are gathering, it looks like judgement day

Chorus

Now I am crying, ‘cause I know I am lost
My heart’s black as a crow, and I know how much my sin cost
So make me a bed of oak leaves, that I can sink down in
My heart is the cushion, and  you are my pin

Chorus....
