It's cold and raining here today, a perfect reason to sit, read, knit, drink lots of tea with milk and honey and listen to divine music.
Yogi's collar has been pulled out several times since last week sometimes purposely, sometimes accidently and sometimes accidently on purpose! Alas, no photo of Yogi for this time.
I'm reading Piero Bargellini's treasure, "The Little Flowers of Saint Clare." Dazla bought this book back from Assisi, Italy for me, ♥ ♥ ♥. It is a collection of short stories about Clare's life and her miracles. I read it when I need comfort. Here is a little more I wrote about Saint Francis and Saint Clare.
Whilst I'm knitting I'm listening to Misere ~ Allegri ~. From Wiki; "Miserere, full name "Miserere mei, Deus" (Latin: "Have mercy on me, O God") by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri, is a setting of Psalm 51 (50) composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, probably during the 1630s, for use in the Sistine Chapel during matins, as part of the exclusive Tenebrae service on Wednesday and Friday of Holy Week. The service would start usually around 3AM, and during the ritual, candles would be extinguished, one by one, until one remained alight and hidden." The full article including English translation is here.
This piece of music I hold so close to my heart. I would like to think that it is part of my soul. I like to listen to it often but it never fails to work if I've lost my temper, my dignity, had a difficult day or am just feeling awful. It holds me in good stead, it reminds me of divinity, grace, love, hope, peace and joy. It settles my children too, ♥
I hope you bliss out in it and make a beautiful day, sweet friend.
Joining up with Ginny from Small Things at the Yarn Along, pop over and have a look, become inspired!
