Sing We Noel

I was lifted and opened by the sweet voices of this year's Mother & Daughter choir which performed at St. John's Lutheran Church in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia on December 22, 2010. Here is captured one of their pieces, an Ethiopian piece called, Issay!Issay! Directed by Leslee Barry of Clearland (near Mahone Bay) and supported by an amazing team of talented instrumentalists including the young 15 year old, Kathryn Wagner you see on piano in this short video. Enjoy!

If you have a relationship,

you tell the truth.

If you don't,

you have an entanglement.

Most communication can be cleared up in 10 minutes

if people are communicating heart to heart.

Gay Hendricks

We can never know real intimacy until we befriend all our feelings and inner states, including the ones hiding inside our fears. Only then can we be open with others because we are no longer afraid of what they may touch in us. Then, we can be as intimate with other people as we are with our own being and with Life itself.
