Happy Day of Rest!

Happy day of rest!  We see that it is good and we rest.  Spent our first night in the cabin last night.  Thankful!

Wrote this yesterday, thought I'd share.  You can meditate on it for calming or use it as a visualization exercise: 

Sun shining through the wintery windows
Woodworkers just outside
smoke rises from a chimney, across the way
warming a house, and little toes, I'll never see
Coffee losing steam on the kitchen table
Music playing through simple songs
the baby draws in circles around these words

Happy Sabbath!  A gift of rest from Love Above.  Naomi loves this painting by Van Gogh.  Rest.

Moving Day

Moving in today.  Got the cottage all lined up.  It's in a little town with hardly anything other than a lake, ice fishers and a few neighbors.  Very peaceful.  Moving Day is On.  It's sleeting and we just got 2 to 4 inches of snow last night. 

Blessings,
M & G

Making Musical Memories: Bon Iver

Bon Iver has been a huge inspiration lately.  It started a few years ago but was recently fanned into flame in Ithaca, NY when at Angry Mom's Records.  I saw his self-titled album and thought, we should really listen to that good music more.  So here's Bon Iver, a great mellow, melancholy and yet uplifting experience.  The art on his new album is down to earth in beauty.:  BON IVER

Making Musical Memories: Teshuva

We met Angela before she married Sam and before we heard her music.  She was so sweet and has been through a lot.  Their new LP has five great songs and five great videos on youtube.  We have enjoyed listening to them immensely.  This week's featured music is:

TESHUVA

Teshuva is a husband/wife duo which started the moment they met in 2009. Without knowing it, they were both heading in the same direction and divine timing was bringing them together. "We both love sound, creativity and the Creator, YHWH" say Sam and Angela. After getting Betrothed and then married in 2010 they turned their attention to music. "We love playing music and want to share this journey with our family and friends wherever we go." Teshuva works to find the perfect blend between technical sound and memorable melodies. The name Teshuva came from a dream during their first pregnancy which ended in miscarriage. In the dream Angela felt this babies' name was Teshuva. After looking it up, they found that Teshuva is the Hebrew word for repentance or rather, a turning. "Fitting for the band" they say "as we both love Israel and know humanity needs to turn to the truth found in the Bible. We hope Teshuva's message can find a balance between purity and creative artistic expression."
