Relish the artistry of Lorraine Hunt Lieberman & Craig Smith performing Handel's "Cease, ruler of the day, to rise" from "Hercules." Lorraine Hunt Lieberson- Handel: Where shall i fly? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToOO7D4i-ZM
Handel's "Where Shall I Fly?"from "Hercules" - simply stunning! Muldaur sings about hope, peace and the devastation of war. The three Dylan songs are not to be missed Yes We Can | Tribute to Obama, Maria Muldaur | Yes We Can http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLVXxGMG3Fw

Sheridan LeFanu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Memory of my Mother, a Victim of Pancreatic Cancer No Coward Soul is Mine No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the worlds storm-troubled sphere: I see Heavens glories shine, And faith shines equal, arming me from fear. O God within my breast. Almighty, ever-present Deity! Life -- that in me has rest, As I -- Undying Life -- have power in Thee! Vain are the thousand creeds That move mens hearts: unutterably vain; Worthless as withered weeds, Or idlest froth amid the boundless main, To waken doubt in one Holding so fast by Thine infinity; So surely anchored on The steadfast Rock of immortality. With wide-embracing love Thy Spirit animates eternal years, Pervades and broods above, Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates, and rears. Though earth and man were gone, And suns and universes ceased to be, And Thou wert left alone, Every existence would exist in Thee. There is not room for Death, Nor atom that his might could render void: Thou -- Thou art Being and Breath, And what Thou art may never be destroyed. -- Emily Bronte |

Heroes:My Mother and my dearest friend, Ona Hilton Moody A woman who showed me how to live a gracious life, How to be brave in this world, And how to show dignity until one's final breath. Thank you. ~~A Meditation by Evelyn Davies~~ Dying is the final healing The last great adventure It cannot be avoided It is the harvest that we are all working towards. We need to learn the skills of letting go long before We come to our own completion And know that death is not failure But celebration after a life well-lived However short or long that life may be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hirschburg Foundation For Pancreatic Cancer Research PLEASE HELP! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...and they all went home. Adults-(l to r)My great uncle, my great aunt, my grandfather. Children-(l to r)My mother's cousin, my mother, my uncle. Summer, 1939 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
