Lenten Reflection Day 16 (Mar 9): HEAVEN and EARTH (from Psalm 121).
SONG: Heaven on Earth by Stars Go Dim: https://youtu.be/YhCzzQQNnLA
POEM: May Swenson: Earth Your Dancing Place (excerpt): Take earth for your own large room and the floor of the earth carpeted with sunlight and hung round with silver wind for your dancing place.
QUOTE: William K Purkey: You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, Love like you’ll never be hurt, Sing like there’s nobody listening, And live like it’s heaven on earth.
Lenten Reflection Day 15 (Mar 8): LIFE (from Psalm 121).
SONG: Good Life by OneRepublic: https://youtu.be/fuI0bEdoF30
POEM: Carrie Law Morgan Figgs: Life (excerpt): 1. A moment of pleasure, An hour of pain, A day of sunshine, A week of rain, A fortnight of peace, A month of strife, These taken together Make up life. 2. One real friend To a dozen foes, Two open gates, ’Gainst twenty that’s closed, Prosperity’s chair, Then adversity’s knife; These my friends Make up life.
QUOTE: Nicholas Sparks: I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.
