4 things

"One ought, everyday at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words. "
Johann Wolfgang con Goethe

#1- If I may, here is a beautiful "little song" that you should listen to. It's my recital piece this year and I can't wait to play all of it. Click here.

#2- Here is "a good poem:"

My God Is There Controlling

We search the starlit Milky Way,

A million worlds in rhythmic sway,

Yet in our blindness some will say,

"There is no God Controlling!'

But as I grope from sphere to sphere,

New wonders crowd the eye, the ear,

And faith grows firmer ever year:

"My God is there, controlling!"

We probe the atoms for their cause,

Explore the earth for nature's laws,

Yet seldom in our searching pause

To think of God controlling.

Each flash of fact from out the night,

Each burst of truth upon my sight

That quickens awe or adds delight,

Reveals my God controlling. -William H. Reid-

#3- For "a fine picture," I have posted a picture of a dragonfly I took last summer.

#4- And as for "speaking a few reasonable words," well, that's up to you, not me.
