today, LK is hosting another day of sharing...this time the theme is song. even if i wasn't sharing holiday tunes right now, i would probably pick "have yourself a merry little christmas." it is such a simple, beautiful song. i listen to james taylor's version all year long. it makes me cry as i miss and wish and hope and believe. this version, however, always takes my breath away.
Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.
