motets in the morning

listening to motets in the early morning sunlight is an experience i can't do justice to describe, but i can prescribe it as a most enlightening way to begin your day. palestrina and a cup of tea makes for a coy smile before breakfast. this is happiness.

the death of a long dark night makes way for the birth of a second chance. new inspiration. reconciliation with light and life.

everyone has a someone else. we somehow choose to love the one just out of reach.

i know not the joys that lie ahead, nor the tragedies that i will have to face, but in this moment of music out of voice, of light out of sunlight, a shaft, a note, warmth, a song... i know only that i am in communion with Christ, my Lord.
