Welcome to my Home!
"From chaos there rises the world of the spirit."
Adam Mickiewicz, Polish philosopher.
From the chaos of the world, I invite you to escape to the retreat of this music. Quietude seems to be a vanishing commodity these days. It seems to me that something wants to steal our quiet, snatch away our repose, distract us from our focus on the sacred and holy and the natural rhythm of our hearts. Do you find this to be so also? I'm aware of the need to counter these forces, and seek quiet time, a calm stillness in the 'domestic church' of the home, with prayer, meditation, by turning off electronic stuff, and listening. GOD is often in the quiet. .
Thank you for visiting here.

You Are the Potter
All the broken dreams of mine
are fallen stars that will not shine
You pick them up like stones in the road
and give them back as drops of gold.
You hold me as one grain of sand
and with the patience of your gentle hand
You turn me 'round to the light again
and build a castle from just what I am.
Chorus: And when I lift my eyes to You
all is beautiful and all is new.
I let go and fall Your way,
You Are the Potter, I am the clay.
You heard a lost and ancient cry
echo through mountains of years gone by.
And from the earth you carried the song
to the soul where it once belonged.
Trust is the bridge that brings us home
I drop down my fears like an old, heavy load.
And when I give to you my flesh and bone
You give me life from the ashes alone.
Chorus: And when I lift my eyes to You,
all is beautiful and all is new.
I let go and fall Your way,
You Are the Potter, I am the clay.
