      P'shaw! The Meditative Council is still speaking! It ain't just me; it's an OE thing! Thanks all y'all for the inspiration! Let's not let our heads get too big for blue halos in Heaven in the Here and Now...
May a Just Peace Reign Anew,
Dawn

Subject: Re: [Oe List ...] Lunch today    Re: Lunch Today and Impromptu Singing    Did my solitary 'sing along' at the end of a long evening on my laptop just last week. Used a church hymnal and two volumes of Then Sings My Song with bios of hymnist opposite the hymns page. When the spirit occasions these sessions, I usually say to myself, I'm going to sing one or two and go to bed. But I don't stop there. Would you believe four or five? With some of you having similar experiences would you believe the Spirit is at work amongst us?    Am attending a House Church worship service every other Sunday this summer. And will raise the question of singing on my next visit and still view an online livestream service from Alaska each week.     Just as an aside and related to Journey to the East--I believe our community lost it's way when we changed Discontinuity night from Monday to Wednesday in the early 80's and stopped singing and doing Daily Office. That was a time of loss and a bit of our drifting away from our spiritual tools and discipline for me. Still I believe, in retrospect, we were destined to 'find ourselves as a 'beloved  community' in a most quiet and miraculous way.

"Warning: May start singing for no reason"

This old song says it all in just the first two verses.

"How Can I Keep From Singing?"

My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.

Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
