Good morning, Ally That's good that you donated the stuff that you don't need at your new house. that's good that you only got rain, it probably is because of the cold, the rain probably froze over night so you be careful whenever you go outside today until 1:00 we're in a cold weather advisory our borough workers are anticipating that storm that the weatherman is watching that it's going to come here and they are asking people /w cars to move them off the street so they could remove the piles of snow, right nowe the weatherman is saying that right now the storm is going to miss us, but that can change it's to soon to tell what it's going to do.
Never to take from creation’s beauty more than we give; never to destroy wantonly for the furtherance of greed;
Never to deny to give our hands for the building of earth’s beauty; never to take from her what we cannot use.
Give us hearts to understand
That to destroy earth’s music is to create confusion; that to wreck her appearance is to blind us to beauty;
That to callously pollute her fragrance is to make a house of stench; that as we care for her she will care for us.
We have forgotten who we are. We have sought only our own security. We have exploited simply for our own ends. We have distorted our knowledge. We have abused our power.
Great Spirit, whose dry lands thirst, Help us to find the way to refresh your lands.
Great Spirit, whose waters are choked with debris and pollution, help us to find the way to cleanse your waters.
Great Spirit, whose beautiful earth grows ugly with misuse, help us to find the way to restore beauty to your handiwork.
Great Spirit, whose creatures are being destroyed, help us to find a way to replenish them.
Great Spirit, whose gifts to us are being lost in selfishness and corruption, help us to find the way to restore our humanity.
Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind, whose breath gives life to the world, hear me; I need your strength and wisdom.
Time to get out and get back to work. I was out last night and most of the major roads are clear. The side streets not so much. Thanks for the company with your messages and comments. It is always good to share your music with someone. Have a great Tuesday. Jazz
