How do I hear jazz? Let me count the ways,
I hear jazz to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I hear jazz to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I hear jazz freely, as men strive for right.
I hear jazz purely, as they turn from praise.
I hear jazz with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I hear jazz with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I hear jazz with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God chooses,
I shall but hear jazz better after death.
(Intentionally lifted from the female American poet
Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
SEVEN WONDERS
1. to touch
2. to taste

4. to hear
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. to love and be loved in return

Now IsN'T the Time
The Supreme Love
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of the Universe.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of the
Divine light within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And when we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission
to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
Adapted from a quote by Nelson Mandela

How do I hear jazz? Let me count the ways,
I hear jazz to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I hear jazz to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I hear jazz freely, as men strive for right.
I hear jazz purely, as they turn from praise.
I hear jazz with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I hear jazz with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I hear jazz with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God chooses,
I shall but hear jazz better after death.
(Intentionally lifted from the female American poet
Elizabeth Barrett Browning)

The Supreme Love
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of the Universe.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of the
Divine light within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And when we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission
to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
Adapted from a quote by Nelson Mandela
