Hamilton

Curious and on a whim, I checked out the "Hamilton" Broadway recording from our library. 
The first time thru the first cd, I thought "I'm turning this in because I just don't understand 
the words."

But the music and the lyrics were catchy and, not having any plans to stop back by the 
library soon, it stayed in Betsy's CD player so I kept listening to it.

Then Friday night Tadd drove us somewhere and I wanted to share a couple of songs that 
were becoming my favorites. Plus, she adds with a twinkle, with him being a big history 
buff, I figured he could probably help me make sense of it.

Sure enough, between being able to ask questions and me not driving so I could concentrate 
on the words, I began to really enjoy both the music and the story even more.

Who knew? 

In fact, I haven't even started disc 2 yet. I'm still enjoying the first one so much and with 
each time thru, not only do I catch a little more, I also become more and more impressed 
with Lin-Manuel Miranda and his Gift of music, wit and making history both fun and 
interesting.

Breathe September :: Listen

Six of the songs on my "Be Still, Deb" playlist have my word for this year, Abide, in the title. 

Each one has become a gentle anchor quietly reminding me to take a breath and intentionally 
choose where (in Grace) and how (in Mercy, Hope, and Peace) I Abide.

I love and am touched by each one. 

❤️

Smiling because as I was typing this the one by Sam Cox was on and I found myself leaning 
back with my eyes closed and singing.

I've listened to them so many times that they're in my bones. 

❤️

(And that's a very good thing.)

Morning has broken

Waking up this morning
and coming in to this scene 
brought a big, ol' contented sigh of relief.

Smiling, I started singing:

Morning has broken
Like the first day
Blackbird has spoken
Like the first bird
Praise for the singing
Praise for the morning
Praise for the springing
Fresh from the world 
~ song lyrics
