They always do, and here I can testify to that as my own diaphragm expands with their heavenly love, I feel them using you and all of us as instruments of praise, glowing through your golden airways and spreading out and up and up the sweetest scents of spring.
–Leon Hieros, responding to dearest Matthew:

I am convinced that angels stood beside us as we recorded this piece. There is hope in this world.
–Matthew Paez, tenor of the BYU Singers

Yes, shining upon us with divine blessings

Glory-bound

When I am gone
don’t you cry for me
Don’t you pity my soaring soul
The pains that might have been
will now be past
and my spirit will be whole

I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on my way
I’ll have left my feet of clay upon the ground
I will be glory bound
I’ll be on my way

When I am gone
don’t you cry for me
Don’t you pity my soaring soul
The pains that might have been
will now be past
and my spirit will be whole

I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on my way
I’ll have left my feet of clay upon the ground
I will be glory bound
I’ll be on my way

When I am gone
please forgive the wrongs
that I might have done to you
There’ll be no room for regrets up there
High above, way beyond the blue

I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on way
I’ll have laid my frown and all my burdens down
I’ll be putting on my crown
I’ll be on my way

When I am gone
don’t you look for me
in the places I have been
I’ll be alive but somewhere else
I’ll be on my way again

I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on my way
I will lift my wings and soar into the air
There’ll be glory everywhere
I’ll be on way

I’ll be on my way, I’ll be on my way
I’ll have laid my frown and all my burdens down
I’ll be putting on my crown
I’ll be on my way

I’ll have left my feet of clay upon the ground

I will be glory bound!

I’ll be on my way!

Salutation

BYU Choirs, Rabindranath Tagore, Ēriks Ešenvalds

In one salutation to thee, my God,
let all my senses spread out
and touch this world at thy feet.

Like a rain-cloud of July
hung low with its burden of unshed showers,
let all my mind bend down at thy door
in one salutation to thee.

Let all my songs
gather together their diverse strains
into a single current
and flow to a sea of silence
in one salutation to thee.

Like a flock of homesick cranes
flying night and day
back to their mountain nests,
let all my life take its voyage
to its eternal home
in one salutation to thee.

Rabindranath Tagore

put to music by Ēriks Ešenvalds

performed to perfection by two amazing choirs:

across the vast, eternal sky…

Warm clothes, tahini-bread, hot tea, and

off I am to clean our apartment building.

We are snow-kissed with

strong cold winds today,

and my lungs are filled

with the intense

sacred beauty

of the North:

You know

when strays
are just so kind?

How it feels when
in the dark of night
you take the garbage out
and they greet you as family,
even when you cannot feed them,
even they who do not come close anymore
because they are dying and withdraw
so that you don’t have to feel their pain?

How serene the thought sometimes
of leaving
your last breath curled-up
among such gentle fellow creatures
who harbour no accusations against anyone,
whom no noise stops from purring:

It is all between each one of us and God…

Thank you for allowing me to see you
from the enormity of our one love…

We are all uncomfortable with our existential aloneness
before its acceptance can lead us into true togetherness.

We are all strays.

Until we see we are Eternity,
we are all strays from it.

All fellow beings of God, non-verbal or verbal,
start acting more and more healingly and kindly
when
we have started truly meeting them in stillness.
And stillness doesn’t have to be
their forte at all.

But we have to meet our Self in silence first.

And that requires us to direct ALL of our energy accordingly.
No more wasting time with time-wasting things.

Gentleness with ourselves when we fall short
of any internal or external expectations.

Knowledge that we are always
Loved and watched over

A L W A Y S

God bless you friends.
Thank you for our
shared music of
stillness.
Leon

we are all strays

Rabindranath Tagore‘s poem Salutation

set in music by Ēriks Ešenvalds

sung by the BYU Singers

In one salutation to thee, my God,
let all my senses spread out and touch this world at thy feet.

Like a rain-cloud of July
hung low with its burden of unshed showers
let all my mind bend down at thy door in one salutation to thee.

Let all my songs gather together their diverse strains into a single current
and flow to a sea of silence in one salutation to thee.

Like a flock of homesick cranes flying night and day
back to their mountain nests
let all my life take its voyage to its eternal home
in one salutation to thee.

If you would like to be receiving little reminders of the Divine Love we are:

.

Wäre das Wort „Danke“ das einzige Gebet, das Du je sprichst, so würde es genügen.

.

Αν η λέξη “Ευχαριστώ” ήταν η μοναδική προσευχή που έλεγες ποτέ, θα ήταν αρκετή.

.

Were the words “Thank you” the only prayer you ever uttered, it would be enough.

~ Meister Eckhart

 

Contemplating Psalm 46:10

Be still, and know that I am God

Be still and know that I Am

Be still and know
