I decided to give myself a day off today and am posting a shot from my walk along the Delaware the other day. Walking along and looking up at all the trees always makes me think of this song...
Mountain Catherdrals
I've sung in mountain cathedrals,
With steeples rising high,
And altars made of evergreen,
And windows made of sky, and windows made of sky.
I've dreamed of stars in the heavens,
And starfish in the sea.
And wondered how the heart of God,
Could care so much for me, could care so much for me.
Well I've never been a strong man,
At least outside the skin.
I'm eager and afraid at the same time,
To move from where I've been, to move from where I've been.
I've sung in mountain cathedrals,
With steeples rising high,
And altars made of evergreen,
And windows made of sky, and windows made of sky.
Lovely, Ann. This really is a "green cathedral!" No one does it better than our Maker. Nice photo of this scene and am glad that you took the day off to relax!!
Het Ann I recall you mentioned you're going to the Discovery Channel for something on Dead Sea Scrolls. I was at The Discovery Exhibition for it's CSI program Sunday (my son had a high school science project) and I saw they had the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit too. That's where you are going?
@espyetta Thank you MaryBeth! It's even prettier now that more than half the trees have changed! @steeler Thank you Howard! @michaelelliott Yes- Michael- that's the one. The preview is on Oct. 25, so that's when I'll be going. I am really excited about it. I've been to Qumran and seen the caves. Now I'll be able to see a little bit of what came out of them!! @nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole!
@cimes1 Thank you Carole! @pandorasecho Thanks Dixie- sometimes I have the song first, and sometimes I have the picture and it makes me think of the song. In this case- song first. I always think of this one and the Mark Heard song from a few weeks back in the fall. @melorac Thank you Carole! @adobewaters Thank you Adobe! @bruni Thank you Bruni. It's an older song, but you can probably find it on YouTube.
@kerristephens Thanks Kerri!
