Today we end our month long Sufjan Stevens Silver and Gold Christmas album. I hope you enjoyed the songs this month!
Two songs again today. The first has been significant in our culture for nearly two hundred years. I first heard this album the day before we left for globetrotting adventures. Perhaps you can imagine how this first song felt significant to me as we stepped into the unknown. We felt hopeful and excited for dreams come true and adventures and yet we felt nervous to leave our comfortable life and we grieved at losing the presence of friends and family. The reality of leaving our friends and family dawned on us quickly. I suppose choices we make in life hold these realities; we seem to be always in motion.
This is Auld Lang Syne which can be translated to mean "days gone by".
The second song today I put in as a time to reflect on the year gone by and the time to come. There is an element of comfort as watching the sunrise on a snowy morning and an element of mystery. I always think of walking in a grove of cedar trees when listening to this song: is that weird?
This is Sacred Harp (Morning)
Until next time lets all take a cup of kindness.
