To love another is to see the face of the Beloved mirroring your own.
~ from LUMEN CHRISTI...HOLY WISDOM by Nan Merrill
Song is not a luxury, but a necessary way of being in the world. If you are cut off, in pain, estranged, numb — sing, give voice to anything. It needn't sound pretty. Simply, bravely, open despite the difficulty, and let what is in out, and what is out in. Sing and your life will continue.
