...yesterday morning i read jarman's sonnet here<br /><br />yesterday evening in choir practice i sang the following:<br /><br />1. God, beyond our dreams, you have stirred in us a memory,<br />you have placed your powerful spirit in the hearts of humankind.<br /><br />Refrain: All around us, we have known you;<br />all creation lives to hold you,<br />In our living and our dying<br />we are bringing you to birth.<br /><br />2. God, beyond all names, you have made us in your image,<br />we are like you, we reflect you, we are woman, we are man.<br /><br />3. God, beyond all words, all creation tells your story,<br />you have shaken with our laughter, you have trembled with our tears.<br /><br />4. God, beyond all time, you are laboring within us;<br />we are moving, we are changing, in your spirit ever new.<br /><br />5. God of tender care, you have cradled us in goodness,<br />you have mothered us in wholeness, you have loved us into birth.<br /><br />Bernadette Farrell<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Htrmq0g_Nkmistah charley, ph.d.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06303695341246058680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-36609364139037035092016-11-17T09:11:01.012-05:002016-11-17T09:11:01.012-05:00the title of today's blog reminds me of a vers...the title of today's blog reminds me of a verse from the todd rundgren/utopia song "shinola" - this verse is not sung, but recited, to emphasize its stark realism<br /><br /><br /><b>Everyone's talking<br />but few of them know<br />The rest are pretending<br />they put on a show<br />And if there's a lesson<br />I guess this is it<br />Truth isn't easy<br />The easy part's shit<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></b><br /><br /><br /><br />mistah charley, ph.d.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06303695341246058680noreply@blogger.com
