I had the fortunate opportunity to participate in the community Thanksgiving Choir this past Thursday. This year was extra special as I was able to have the company of Alexis to and from. She decided to sing soprano and I sang alto. It was an opportunity that makes my heart warm as I think of the ability of single individual voices blended together to produce magnificently beautiful sounds. Little pieces of heavenly feelings to warm my soul. It is a concept that provides for my mind many analogies for life – analogies I will have to write about on another blog entry someday. ..for today it suffices me to say that my soul delights in singing (with a talented choir to back me up and cover my inadequate attempt! 🙂 ).
Top 3 favorite songs in order from this year:
"Make our Garden Grow" by Leonard Bernstein, from opera Candide – love the story behind the song!!! It makes my eyes sweat.
"Carol to Beauty" by Steuart Wilson and arr. by James Mulholland. The lyrics are fabulous and the prayer of my heart.
"Look at the World" by John Rutter – Simple & profound words.
