RE: Commemorating a day in Wellington’s history
Singing is really a big part of what makes us alive. I really enjoyed your birthday poem and was looking forward to hearing about the party but when I came you I found an unexpected post about a tragedy...
But in the light of your choir I see hope for each and every soul on that boat. If they were singing those songs they are definitely crossing over Jordan.
Thank you for posting a picture of the choir. They look so happy.
To me, the singing to keep up their spirits shows a resilience I'm not so sure we've got any more. Although there were deaths, a lot of those singing did survive, which is to be thankful for. And yes, the choir usually looks happy. We really do love what we do, and I think it shows.
This is good news in the context of a tragedy but something I can think about in my daily life. I know my youngest son has life tough and he sings a lot.
And that reminds me once again of the post I did about the movie about African orphans who had nothing but were still happy. They sang too. I think we talked about this in one of our first ever conversations.
Yes we did and I remember your post well. One of the best experiences in my life was visiting a church in Haiti and singing with them together. I'm always glad when you share about the sounds of New Zealand.
That sounds awesome.
