It was Daffodil Sunday, so we sang Sydney Carter's "All Shall Be Well" which made me think of sk8eeyore. Brunch was hash browns and banana yogurt w/ banana slices and cantaloupe-heavy fruit salad. Yum. (Dinner was less exciting, but omggarlicbread.)

I flaked on Mollie Rogers-ing after all, but i was productive. I reread King Lear, opted not to do a ( Read more... )

I googled the lyrics, and I approve. What's Daffodil Sunday?

I don't know if it's a tradition specific to the one church i go to in Northampton (First Churches is an "environmentally covenanted church," so they're a lot more nature-oriented than is common), but every year around this time they ask the congregants to bring in yellow daffodils and they put them in vases all over the front of the church -- a reminder that spring is coming and suchlike.

Call to Worship from Daffodil Sunday this year.

Out of the darkness came light;
And the power of God was revealed.
In the running wave and the flowing air
In the quiet earth and the shining stars.
Out of the dust came life;
And the image of God was revealed.
In the human face and the gentle heart
In the warmth of flesh and the depth of soul.
Out of justice came freedom;
And the wisdom of God was revealed.
In the need to grow and the will to love,
In the chance to know and the power to choose.
And God looked at the creation
And Behold, it was very good.

You just don't seem like the MAD TV type, dear. Sorry if I offended. And it's not a total loss of respect...just a couple of points.

I wasn't actually offended, don't worry. Your visual aid was closer to one or two hands than a couple of points, but i appreciate the reassurance :) And you're quite right that i don't seem the MAD TV type.
