Weekend Music Share.

This week Hugh has asked us to share a favourite song or piece of music that you would listen to while travelling, or just share a favourite piece of music or song. We can either share a link to it in the comments on Hugh’s page, or link back to this his post on Hugh’s Views and News from your blog.

Like Hugh I will be traveling up to London to go to the Annual Blogger’s Bash on Saturday 15th June. I will be on the train early, wending my way up to Paddington then by tube to Victoria. Where I am meeting some blogging friends, some I have met and some I haven’t then we will walk together to the venue.

Lens-Artists Challenge #49 – Favorite Things

This week we’ve been challenged to share some of our favorite things.

Or is he just glad he has a normal beak?

To kindle a fire

carol hopkins's avatarchopkins2x3

This minuscule spark

This insignificant flame

Please, Divine One, come

Ignite it with Your sacred breath

Let it dance ever higher

These dry and brittle bones

Seek to be rekindled

Into something warm and kind

This, my soul desire

To walk a path straight and true,

To be a blessed reflection

All that is good

Forgive this flawed, imperfect creature

And if it be Your will,

Let me grow quietly in love

Light my way to You

The Canadian Rockies sing of poetry;  rocky outcroppings as smooth as a metal edge swords, fast flowing rivers, lush verdant forests, abundant wildlife, colourful meadows dancing in the breeze, and peaks covered in white icing rising into the misty clouds.  The First Nations referred to the Rockies as the Shining Mountains, most likely in reference to the sun glinting off the snow covered peaks.
