Talented musicians, great voices in perfect harmony! Their combined sound brings light and joy for sure!
Our senses absorb wonder and beauty as we nourish our soul to overflowing. In this blog, I will share things that nourish my soul. I find wonder in many places in my life; music, books, nature, people, art, travel, food, passion, creativity and much more. In sharing these sources of wonder with others, my hope is to spread the feeling of pure, innocent joy felt in the hearts of those who truly absorb the wonder. Fill your cup, pass it on, then fill another and so on . . .

Claude Monet - Master of light, landscape and life
Claude Monet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The work of Claude Monet is filled with light and life. It is easy to become one with his work as if you are stepping foot into the scenes that his brush strokes have created as if they were painted around you. The shadows and reflective qualities are truly superb. I have many favorites amongst his masterpieces but let me just select a few to highlight for you today.

Adele - Chasing Pavements
The voice of Adele is haunting sweetness to me. She has the sort of angelic and passionate pain in her voice that digs down deep in my soul. I love the way she lays it all down in her songs, heart and soul, magic of love and pain of loss, shame and torture, revival and strength of self. I was drawn in quickly by her lyrics, her heart and her mystical sound.

The wonder of W. B. Yeats
When You Are Old
by William Butler Yeats
When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim of your soul,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
And in tribute to Yeats, one of my favorite poets, a song for Yeats from Loreena McKennitt.
by William Butler Yeats
