The Aching Taste of Blue

Here & Now (Alternative Version)

August’s Song: Rosalind’s Brownies from The Penderwicks 

The recipe is at the end *BUT!* it’s actually MY sister’s Blue Ribbon county fair recipe from when we were little. She said I could share it 🤗

I love the Penderwick books and their fierce loyalty and fun! They remind me of my own siblings and our adventures growing up. 

I thought it would be a good exercise to zoom into a particular moment in the books, the making of brownies by the eldest sister for her younger siblings. 
It’s a waltz with the focus on the movements of baking in honor of the two sisters who love music and dance. 
But there are measurements for the sister who loves math. 
And for the sister who writes, the chorus zooms back out into the narrative of their sibling-hood. 

The Penderwick Family Honor. Better together, together forever. 

So, here’s my love song to my own siblings! 💕

Rosalind’s Brownies 14 aug24

주님의 사랑으로 나아가리
어두운 곳에 빛을 전하리
우리의 손길로 세상을 감싸
희망의 메시지를 전하리

함께 걸어가 주의 길을 따라
사랑으로 품는 이 세상
선교의 사명 마음에 새기고
주님과 함께 나아가리

주님의 길

Sanvi always believed in the goodness of people, until life taught her that even the purest hearts can be broken.

When Sanvi marries Manav, her dreams of a blissful future shatter under the weight of emotional and physical abuse. Abandoned with a newborn daughter and cast out into the cold night, Sanvi must summon every ounce of courage to survive.

Her journey takes an even darker turn, when a mysterious force begins to unravel the fabric of her reality, Sanvi finds herself trapped in a desperate struggle for survival.

But Sanvi is not one to surrender easily. Armed with unwavering determination and fueled by the love for her children, she embarks on a quest to reclaim her life and uncover the truth behind her suffering.

Will she find the strength to rewrite her destiny, or will the legacy of yesterday claim her forever?

Dive into Sanvi’s odyssey, and discover the extraordinary power of the human spirit.

we've got to keep them close
precious pages, boxset cases
the likings youve amassed
you autumn enthusiast
we've only got one brain
only so much we can absorb in a day
cant stop the pictures playing
whilst we lie there contemplating
how could we rehearse?
for such a blessing, such a curse
how can we perform?
in such a strange time to be
born into an age
where don't shake and hands aren't raised
and long gone people are praised
for the hands they shook and the questions they raised
its easy to believe
humanity has an ace up its sleeve 
who will save us? the trees
or it looks as though we're down on our knees

09 On a Day Like Today

I wrote and recorded this Christmas song perhaps 10 years ago or so.  It's a peaceful song about preparing for Christmas and the Holidays.  I LOVE CHRISTMAS!  I believe in Jesus Christ and I believe that he is the Savior of Mankind.  So naturally, I love the months heading up to Christmas day and New Year's Day.  I pray for the peace of mankind every holiday season, but sadly we just always seem to have evil leaders doing evil things, and war every year.  Why can't we all be kind and live in peace?  I wish I knew.

It's Time For Christmas!
