BBB (By and aBout Bach)

For the glory of the most high God alone,
And for my neighbour to learn from.
-- Johann Sebastian Bach, epigraph to Little Organ Book, 1717

The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.
-- Johann Sebastian Bach

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
-- Johann Sebastian Bach

Why waste money on psychotherapy when you can listen to the B Minor Mass?
-- Michael Torke

Possible Hand Surgery

Well, it looks like I am going to have to have surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome.
I hope that when it is over, I will learn some new ways to use the computer so I can continue this blog. We'll see...but for now, no more computer for me--I guess I have to really mean it this time.

Autumn's Ornaments

When I parked the car today
at the grocery store,
I was surprised by bright red and green
decorations in the parking lot,
not hung by a stock boy on the light posts
to welcome Christmas--
not in September, no!--
But miraculously mixed on maples' branches
by our loving Lord...

He Just Speaks!

How does God change our lives?
He just speaks!
Such a beautiful message...

A View of Berry Mountains on Tuesday Morning, September 7, 2010

Golden foilage brushed
the tips of Berry Mountains
meeting autumn skies.

Green's grip is released
as summer stretches to rest
from her warm watch soon.
