―Shelly Miller

Like a Bird on a Wire
Leonard Cohen writes: “Like a bird on a wire…I have tried in my way to be free.” It’s not entirely clear what is particularly free about a bird on a wire. Maybe the fact that it has a choice in every moment whether to rest where it is or to fly on.
What would make your life more free?
All the Colors
You might always get the same favorite flavor of ice cream or coffee drink, but a handful of jelly beans brings you a random assortment of flavors and colors. No doubt you will prefer some tastes to others, but there’s always a chance you’ll hit upon a new favorite that you’ve never encountered before.
What is your newest delightful discovery?
The Song of Sabbath
“Thrush song, stream song, holy love
That flows through earthly forms and folds,
The song of Heaven’s Sabbath fleshed
In throat and ear, in stream and stone,
A grace living here as we live,
Move my mind now to that which holds
Things as they change. …”
―Wendell Berry
What sound invites you into a sense of grace?
