Life has Loveliness to sell – song and video

Posted on: September 13th, 2010 by ingrid 6 Comments

 Life has Loveliness to Sell song and slide show ~   This is a pretty Sarah Teasdale poem which I sang on my album Savor the Days.  I used pictures from my blog, mostly of the Vineyard, for the slide show.

Summer Poem

I have a friend who came to see me,
who danced naked under the stars.

She brought a friend who is now my friend,
and who laughed with ease and joy.

Sweet unity.
This is what we had.

Today my heart is full
of moonlight and sunlight and dancing.

Today my life is brimming
with laughter and ease, and stars.

~Ingrid

There is a lotus on our fishpond.  In the morning, it opens its petals to drink in the sun.  In the evening, it folds its petals in again, like hands in prayer.

This has helped me to consider the naturalness of my own rythms- how I open my petals sometimes, and how I fold them in when it is time to rest.
