Let heaven and nature sing.
There is a thrum, a life force, a joy at the core of it all, and sometimes we need to tune in to it and listen.
As Mary Oliver wrote:
What can I say that I have not said before?
So I’ll say it again.
The leaf has a song in it.
Stone is the face of patience.
Inside the river there is an unfinishable story and you are somewhere in it
And it will never end until all ends.
Take your busy heart to the art museum and the chamber of commerce
But take it also to the forest.
The song you heard singing in the leaf when you were a child
Is singing still.
I am of years lived, so far, seventy-four,
And the leaf is singing still.
Where will you take your busy heart today? Can you hear the leaf singing?

Earthquakes…. There are a lot of things we miss about California but that’s not one of them! By the way, as someone who spent much of my life picking hymns, I also caught that first line. Indeed. Joy to the World!
