Miscellanea
Okay folks, too much has been happening this week. I’m just throwing up this posting. It rambles a bit.
This week I was busy with the schola cantorum at the Lutheran chapel for our compline services which were on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. Thursday and Friday of course will be rather involving in other ways.
I also need to finish my taxes and do more work for my contractual job. Other than for the above places and my day job, no one will probably see me until sometime next week.
I may have told some of you that our Chocolate Lovers’ Day is on Saturday, April 14th. That is wrong. It’s on the 21st. I’ll email you further details of other things happening here that day. Glad to see some are interested! BTW, BYOM! (eg., “bring your own milk”!)
I just found some free Taize mp3s! You can go to Taize’s website and get some clips—actually, these are rather complete. The songs bring back a wealth of memories for me even though I was at Taize, France for only just a week back in the summer of ‘89. I do have two or three CDs, but I’ve not listened to them in a couple of years. Man, I miss this stuff! The music is totally soothing and meditative.
For those of you in Pittsburgh, I hope that you get a chance to go to East Liberty Presbyterian Church on Wednesday nights for local Taize prayer and meditation. They do an excellent job!
Anyhow, here’s the link to the MP3s: http://www.taize.fr/en_article681.html There’s also a link to podcasts of weekly Taize Saturday evening prayer. The website is in German: http://www.domradio.com/aprogrammaktuell/taize.htm
Mutation season has started for me. Please understand that I am now prone to sudden short fits; explosive emanation of nasal fluids; production of loud, reverberating sounds, and other disgusting things. Be therefore forewarned! Eugh. Got drugs? ...or a big, sealed bubble?
