About what we and others do

 It doesn't matter what others do.

What matters is what we do.

About the rock of love

Love is the rock of life

to which we should all cling.

About Beethoven's creativity, given his troubled life

 How could a man like Beethoven, 

given his life, troubled in so many ways,

create the exquisite, quiet, ecstatic beauty

of the second movement of the Pastoral Symphony?

Only through the creativity of God, flowing through his veins,

and into the crevices of his mind, spilling over and onto

the lines, bars and staves of the musical manuscripts.

A prayer of praise - Dear God, please may I be...

Praising you in every way,

In every moment, every day.

A prayer to Jesus of love, thanksgiving and trust.

 Beloved Jesus, I implore

that I may love you more and more

for all you have done for me.

Beloved Jesus, I implore

that I may thank you more and more

for all you are doing for me.

Beloved Jesus, I implore

that I may trust you more and more

for all you will do for me.
