Oh, I like this, and I love the photo.

Back in the day when I was a nice person and read the Bible fairly regularly, I often drifted into the Psalms, where this instruction abounds. This direction played its part in making the words immediate and real and exciting. I felt the human experience was continuously ancient and new and that the rhythm of the heart could be altered in a beautiful way. Thanks for reminding me.
