REST

When it's time to draw the line and you're drawin' the line.

The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. - Psalm 16:5-8

“Draw a line; draw a line that pleases you. And remember that it is not the artist's role to copy the outlines of things but to create a world of his own lines on paper."  ― Milan Kundera, Life is Elsewhere

Drawin' the Line

A meditation on Matthew 11:28-30

Come to me, all you who are weary and I will give you rest 
Only in your rest, I can see now
That only in your rest am I free 
Only in your rest, can I see victory 
Only in your rest am I free 
Only in your rest

Rest

Original tune with samples from " My Fair Lady", Bobby Freeman's  ( Bette Midler/Barry Manilow) " Do You Wanna Dance", and "Out of Africa", because who doesn't want Robert Redford to ask her to dance.

Forever Dancing

Bluegrass ambient version of The Irish Blessing.

The Only Thing to Say

A parody rap song about having pastries with Muhammad Ali, naturally. 

Flour, sugar, butter, salt -- everything I have belongs in a vault!

Mr. Ali

Wait for it..... a mashup of Hubert Parry's " I Was Glad" with William Blake's 'Jerusalem" with reggae vibes, yes these are all my voices-- some other threads of " Jerusalem, My Happy Home" in there with a nod to " The Holy City". All things Jerusalemania. What no ear has heard in this theater of the absurd.... 

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. - Psalm 122

Jerusalem by William Blake 
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
 
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?
 
Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
 
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.

Jerusalem (I Was Glad)

A trip hoppy meditation on 1 Corinthians 2:9-10: 

However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him— these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
