Music for a time of endings. With love to all who continue to tend to beauty, truth and goodness - no matter how much iniquity surrounds them.
The Vale
Through her eyes a welcome glimpse
of that pristine garden long past.
A vision, a signal of purity -
all is not lost.
We open together in contour,
shade, curve and light.
Rising in boundless movement,
at rest in perfect stillness.
Where words are small,
she becomes vast,
holding and quietly healing.
The ancient ground and I await,
a moment joined in longing.
Wiltshire, England, September 2022.
Os justi meditabitur sapientiam
Os justi meditabitur sapientiam: et lingua ejus loquetur judicium. Lex Dei ejus in corde ipsius: et non supplantabuntur gressus ejus. Alleluia. Inveni David servum meum, oleo sancto meo unxi eum. Alleluia. The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just. The law of his God is in his heart: and his feet do not falter. Alleluia. I have found David, my servant; I have anointed him with my holy oil. Alleluia. Motet by Anton Bruckner, 1879, using text from Psalms 37 & 89

Rumi knows
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art. - Rumi
Thank you, Ynys Môn
This is a small offering from the beautiful landscape and language of Wales, and a glimpse of the true diversity of our heritage here in the British Isles. All photos were taken on the Isle of Anglesey, Ynys Môn.
