Hi Friends-
In this post- Thanksgiving week, my hope is that our gratitude extends far beyond a holiday moment. May our grateful hearts feel full, overflowing, ready to serve and give as never before.
We won't be gathering this week, as I am once again going on retreat (zoom, at home). But mark you calendar for Dec. 10, for an evening of songs that in some way relate to speaking truth to power, and the power of truth.
Truth and facts have taken a mighty beating in the past four years, and as I listened to Carrie Newcomers song "I Believe", it struck me again how important it is to say/sing out loud what we truly believe in, what we ground our being in.
"I believe there are some debts
that we never can repay
I believe there are some words
that you can never unsay....
I believe in the ones I love and know
I'll never see again,
I believe in the kindness of strangers
and the comfort of old friends"
Carrie Newcomer
Please send me any ideas you have for familiar songs that, for you, speak truth. To power, to any listening ear, to your own heart.
You can register now for Dec. 10.
