Wonderful photo, and beautifully expressed meditation on the poem and song.

I'm happy to know it resonates. A friend of mine uses another similar guide for her parenthood: she thinks about everything she does as both a prayer, and as a lesson for her kids. When she's driving, and is tempted to brandish her fist at some other driver, she thinks: this what I'm doing, it is a prayer for what? And: this what I'm doing, which lesson am I teaching my daughters? Not easy to hold fast to, 24/7, year in & year out. But it's worth a try. What a beautiful thing, to hear a youth a capella group singing that song! Thank you, maurinsky. I’m happy to know it resonates.

My daughter's a capella group at school sings this piece, and they've paired it up with another Sweet Honey in the Rock piece, Wanting Memories.
