at a time when one note is so healing. thank you, David.
Here I am alone with silence.
I have discovered that it is enough when a single note is beautifully played.
This one note, or a silent beat, or a moment of silence, comforts me.
~ Arvo Pärt, in Arvo Pärt by Paul Hillier

Stay tuned…
Where does it all lead? What will become of us?…
It leads to each other. We become ourselves.

Angels unaware
Angels are wonderful but they are so, well, aloof.
It’s what I sense in the mud and the roots of the
trees, or the well, or the barn, or the rock with
its citron map of lichen that halts my feet and
makes my eyes flare, feeling the presence of some
spirit, some small god, who abides there.
If I were a perfect person, I would be bowing
continuously.
I’m not, though I pause wherever I feel this
holiness, which is why I’m so often late coming
back from wherever I went.
Forgive me.
~ Mary Oliver, “Forgive Me” in Blue Horses
