A spring full of snow

“The blossom-snow begins to blow
About the orchard close.
The fields forget the violet,
But soon shall bloom the rose, my Dear,
Ah! soon shall bloom the rose.”

(R. Marriott Watson in Prelude)
Orp-Jauche (B)

The Birth of Mother Mary

“There, in that other world, what waits for me?
What shall I find after that other birth?
No stormy, tossing, foaming, smiling sea,
But a new earth.”

(M.Coleridge in Poems no. 201)
Valkenburg (NL)

The tree that loves rusty farm tools

“Oh, the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation shines
In dark and empty skies”

(Bob Dylan in Death is not the end)

It’s been a long time since we sat under this tree

“Only the trees will whisper in the dark.
The night will pale.
The day will dawn.
We shall look at each other’s eyes
and go on our different paths.
Speak to me, my love!
Tell me in words what you sang.”

(R. Tagore in The gardener no.29)

Searching for Jesus

“I’m searching for phrases to sing your praises
I need to tell someone
It’s soon after midnight and my day has just begun”
