Easter, A Time of Musical Celebration
The heart of the Christian faith is the hope of new possibilities in the midst of failure and despair. That is the Easter story - that something new and never imagined emerges from the dying out of something known. Chin up. There is more before you than you can see. Enjoy the music.
Big Joy
James Broughton, beat poet
Shake out your qualms.
Shake up you dreams.
Deepen your roots.
Extend your branches.
Trust deep water and head for the open, even if your vision shipwrecks you.
Quite your addiction to sneer and complains.
Open a lookout.
Dance on a brink.
Run with the wildfire.
You are closer to glory leaping an abyss than upholstering a rut.
Not dawdling.
Not doubting.
Intrepid all the way walk toward clarity.
At every crossroad be prepared to bump into wonder.
Only love prevails.
En route to disaster insist on canticles.
Lift your ineffable out of the mundane.
Nothing perishes;
nothing survives;
everything transforms!
Honeymoon with Big Joy!
