Jesus prayed,
“Let this cup pass from me.”
We pray the same.
His answer came.
The cup would not pass
Until He saw it through.
If this is our answer,
Thy will be done
As You guide us through, we pray.
Amen.

Always Deep Inside #Poem
Where is the lamp that’s burning bright?
Where is the tunnel’s ending light?
Where is the comfort lifting fright?
Always deep inside!
Where is the Voice that’s speaking peace?
Where is the hope that brings relief?
Where’s the supply that meets my needs?
Always deep inside!
Where is the bird that sings in flight?
Where is the dawn that breaks the night?
Where is my purpose good and right?
Always deep inside!
Love is there when out of sight!
Peace and comfort, hope and Light!
Coming home, I need not fight
Always deep inside!
“Dayenu” It Is Enough! #Passover #Music #Mp3
Here is a Passover song, popular at Jewish-American seders. It’s arranged for a small, 15-string zither, and you may
contact me
for a free tutorial if you want to learn it by ear.
I first heard this song in an Elementary School music class. At the time I didn’t know its significance, but I loved it. The next time I heard it was during a self-study Hebrew course, when I purchased CD’s of Jewish children’s music. I’ve always found music and singing to be helpful in learning languages. I’d forgotten about the song in the intervening years, but it showed up again when I was looking for Passover music. My heart leapt, “I remember that song!”
As this
history
points out, “It’s rare to hear people say, when commenting on a blessing in their lives, “It’s enough.”
Don’t miss this fun version by the Maccabeats:
Whether you’re celebrating Passover or not, may you realize, not intellectually but spiritually, that wherever you are and whatever you have right now, it’s enough!
Onward #Haiku #Poem
Nature continues
While seasons and crises pass.
We move onward too.
For the Birds #Poem #Music #Meditation
Here’s a musical meditation on zither, and a Tritina (poem) that is as much for us as it is for the birds!
Through your singing you speak
Sharing peace, hope and love
With your tweets and warbles.
But it’s not just your warbles
It’s the message you speak
Can it teach me to love?
Do you know hate? No, love!
Must I learn your warbles
So I can gently speak?
Or can I speak love without warbles?
“This Is My Father’s World” #Music #Mp3
You’ve probably heard this well-known hymn in praise of the vast world of nature that God created. Maltbie Davenport Babcock, a minister, wrote the lyrics as a 16-stanza poem. It was first published in 1901, after his death.
In 1915, Franklin L. Sheppard chose 3 verses for the hymn and set them to the tune “Terra Beata,” meaning “Blessed Earth” in Latin.
Please enjoy my lyre arrangement, and feel free to download and share the mp3!
Sing Praises #Poem
Sing praises to the Christ within!
The Life and Consciousness you are,
Eternal Love in which you live.
Sing praises to the Christ within!
No matter what and where you’ve been,
Your Spirit is the One and All.
Sing praises to the Christ within!
The Life and Consciousness you are!
A Metaphysical Triolet for Palm Sunday and NaPoWriMo day 5.
Love is Born #Music #Mp3
Here’s a fun song on ukulele. It’s fitting for today, even though I wrote it during Advent in 2016. Enjoy!
Palm Sunday Playlist #Music
Here are 4 original songs I posted when I wrote them. Two are definitely Palm Sunday offerings, while the other two are a little more obscure. “Love Is a Coconut” is a fun song about the one thing that opens and lifts hearts or anything else–love. “So It Goes” is a song about time . Good times, bad times, in between times, time is a constant, and it constantly passes! Something we’d do well to remember right now. Please enjoy these tunes, and have a blessed and peaceful Palm Sunday!
Musical Transport #Poem
Music can find you wherever you are
And carry you places, some near and some far
To histories, cultures, to planets and stars!
For Music can find you wherever you are!
Music can touch you however you feel
And lead you to know you are valued and real.
Without judgment or labels, the comfort can heal!
For Music can touch you however you feel!
Music can see you whatever is wrong,
Encouraging you through a message in song
And taking your hand because you do belong!
O Music can see you whatever is wrong!
Music is Spirit, of All and of One,
Creating and sharing our gifts from Above:
The depths of compassion, of peace, hope and love!
For Music is Spirit, of All and of One!
So let it transport you from Was to Will Be,
And let the I Am be your nature so free.
Your soul is a song, and your Music is key!
So let it transport you from Was to Will Be!
