Emily Dickinson 1830-1886 ~ Richard Rogers 1902-1979 & Oscar Hammerstein 1895-1960 ...You'll Never Walk Alone ~ Johnny Cash 1932-2003

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard; and sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird that kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chilliest land and on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity, it asked a crumb of me.

There is the Music of Heaven in all things and we have forgotten how to hear it until we sing.

His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches me...

Brigham Young 1801-1879 ~ Marvin Gaye 1939-1984 ...Sparrow

Nature is the glass reflecting God,
As by the sea reflected is the sun,
Too glorious to be gazed on in his sphere...

James 3:17 ~ James Shelton ?-? ...Lilac Wine ~ The Cinematic Orchestra

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,
Then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated,
Full of mercy and good fruits,
Without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Hildegarde Of Bingen 1098-1179 ~ Bobby Scott 1937-1990 & Rick Marlow 1925- ... A Taste Of Honey ~ Chet Baker 1924-1988

O Holy Wisdom, soaring Power,
Encompass us with wings unfurled,
And carry us, encircling all,
Above, below, and through the World.

Lord Byron 1788-1824 ~ Bobby Hebb 1938-2010 ...Sunny

Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life.
The evening beam that smiles the clouds away,
And tints tomorrow with prophetic ray.
