Every Day

“One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”  – Goethe

Well, how about this….

 little song:

 good poem:

“Red, Red Rose” by Robert Burns

O my Luve’s like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve’s like the melodie
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun:
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only Luve
And fare thee well, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.

a fine picture:

by Leonardo da Vinci

a few reasonable words:

hmmm…I leave that task to greater wits than me.

May this day be blessed.  Slainte, Lisa

The Solace of a Sweet Song

The sound of a sweet voice singing a pleasing tune can bring amazing peace and solace to the soul.  This is Marianne Knight from Celtic Crossroads; she has an interesting mix of celtic & appalachian in her voice.  Enjoy “Ned of the Hill.”  It sounds better if you close your eyes and just listen.  Slainte, Lisa

Pass On the Tune

Irish music is an oral tradition, passed on through the generations, learned by listening and doing.  Here is a dear man who sat outside of the Rock of Cashel in County Cork, playing his accordian joyfully for the passersby.  Joshua was fascinated, and this generous soul invited him to sit down and play awhile with him.  It didn’t matter that Joshua had never played an accordian in his life; this man’s open and sharing spirit encouraged Joshua to feel as if he could.  As my little guy pushed keys and squeezed away, the man nodded in time and tapped his foot.  What a wonderful thing, and what a wonderful memory.

Share what you love to do with some little soul today, and watch their sweet face.  Pass on your tune.  Slainte, Lisa

Amazing Talent for your Thursday…Two Choices

For your Thursday’s listening enjoyment, I present Cara Dillon and her outstanding band, or…see below.  Check out the awesome low whistle solos in the middle and ending of the song.

For those of you who prefer a more pastoral video, here are some sheep, who may be talking, may be singing, or just may be hungry.  Regardless, they are cute and entertaining.  🙂

Sing your own beautiful song today…however the sound comes out.  Slainte, Lisa
