summer sounds in winter grass

December 12th, 2005

I found Thomas Tallis in the dried winter grass today, a 40-voice motet devoid of chlorophyll, building a glass cathedral of its own.

I have never put my hope in any other but in you,
O God of Israel,
who can show both anger
and graciousness,
and who absolves all the sins of suffering man.
Lord God,
Creator of Heaven and Earth,
be mindful of our lowliness.
