The sky is a bit dark but it is utterly serene outside. The view I enjoy a few minutes’ walk from my place.
The music I wish I would have enjoyed in church this morning (sigh). A stunning recording of Tchaikovsky’s Merciful Peace from the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom.

Absolutely beautiful. Have never heard this before, but have longed to hear similar music during a formal worship service. Upon listening to this, for some reason I was immediately taken back to a piece our Penn State Chapel choir once learned, entitled, “Magnum Mysterium.” Will post a YouTube clip of it on your FB page.
Sounds like we’re on the same page, Joe. In a perfect world… (or perfect after-world?)
Loved the picture. Was prepare to pass on video but something told me to hit it. (If she’ll listen to Psy and Gangham Style…that’s the least I could do). It was beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Oh Dave, thank you. Part of who I am, I guess… and one thing I’ve learned through all this blogging business is to have a bit more respect for others in this regard. You’ve made my day (evening)!
