And while they were hula-hooping

November 9, 2009 by Amy

These guys started singing one of my favorite Kevin Welch songs, one that I hadn’t thought about it years. Years.

On this beautiful day, with trees dropping dead and dying brown leaves around us in the warmth and life,  they sang this song and I sang it too:

There’s gonna to be two dates
On your tombstone.
All your friends’ll read ‘em.
All that’s gonna matter
Is the little dash
Between ‘em.

…it’s a great big world…

life down here on earth.
Softly.

    That children may be respected, loved, and never exploited.

    That during Christmas the peoples of the Earth may recognize the Incarnate Word as the light that illuminates every person, and that every nation may open its doors to Christ, the Savior of the World.

    I once thought and still think that an encounter with monasticism challenges everything that we think about life and our purpose here in the great exile.
