Morning has broken like the first morning, blackbird has spoken like the first bird. Praise for the singing.. TIS 156
There is never anything more pleasing to my ear than the sound early morning and evening of the song of the blackbird. It is so melodious, so pure, so beautiful and every time I hear it breaking into the silent dawn or peaceful evening I am riveted to the spot, just listening and enjoying O so beautiful a song. It's call draws me to God our wonderful creator who made everything for our joy and delight, even the plain blackbird with the beautiful song. As Joyce Rupp says: The thin veil moments of sheer surprise when not only eye( and ear) but heart is kissed.
May the peace of God fill your hearts every single day. Anne, servant of the Lord
Morning and evening the blackbird sings.
