The Sound of Music

The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over
Stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I’ve heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I´ll sing once more

Stained Glass

In Fellowship hall after where we had refreshments after Mom’s Memorial service some people may have noticed the beautiful stained glass windows that Ruby Bradley painted. My dad’s brother “Uncle Art” passed away at 95 years old a year ago. He was a great carpenter and made the frames for those pictures. Working with our Hands was yesterday’s culture.

“All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”

– J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
