Computer Whisperer
For today’s quote, I opted for this one by Thomas Merton. His writings have had a profound impact on my life. It seems quite fitting to share something from him.
“To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands,
to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to the violence of our times.“
These weird connections
Resurrection and rabbits?
And eggs with tie-dye?
May you find blessedness this day.
I love music that challenges me, pushes my understanding of what music, what it can convey. So I look forward to exploring this playlist. Let me know what you think.
Spotify created a ‘Folk Hymnal Radio’ playlist. Pretty much anyone’s music I love is there. If you like Folk Hymnal music, take a listen to find similar artists. (HT: @greglafollette, @Theportersgate @ellieholcomb @Sandramccracken, @cornerroommusic, more) https://t.co/bxgHJU4hJK

This child limping
Long for Jesus’s power
To heal with a touch
Rage’s hopelessness
It’s the mirror of despair
Hope: the antidote
Hope requires vision, and the belief that humanity can work together.
The faithful skeptic
Balancing my need to KNOW
With my need to trust
Sunlight piercing leaves
A rough hewn cross pulls my eyes
Birds break my thoughts
Still dark
No hints of dawn
Yet I know
It will come
I am awake in the early morning, pondering all that troubles me.
Faith’s strength comes from trust
Belief in benevolent
Energies driving
Sunlight piercing leaves
A rough hewn cross pulls my eyes
Birds break my thoughts
