“One ought, every day at least, to hear
a little song, to read a good poem, to see
a fine picture, and if it were at all possible,
to speak a few reasonable words.”

Make Music
by Elece Hollis
Make music wherever you go;
That’s generosity.
Tap a rhythm—start the beat;
That’s leadership.
Hum and strum a melody;
That’s encouragement.
Laugh at false starts and off key notes;
That’s grace.
Sing the words out loud and bold;
That’s a gift to the world.
“Then those who sing,
as well as those who play the flutes, shall say,
‘All my springs of joy are in you.'”

‘All my springs of joy are in you.'”
Psalm 87:7

Martha, I loved talking to this lady at Rendezvous who goes by the camp nickname of Parson's Wife.

Thanks Chery. Did you notice that her hat was tied with a seamstress' tape measure? She was a bit of poetry herself!

Here is an older piece I remembered posting when I saw Bonnie again recently at the dripping Springs Rendevous. She is a joy to speak to.
