The Knowing



The Knowing 

in the delicate beauty of a flower,
    in the purity of joy in a young child's smile,
        in the rising and setting sun,
            in the radiance of the sun, the moon, the stars,
                in the flowing streams, rivers, and seas,
                    in the ever changing firmament,
                        in the mountains, fields and forests,
                            feel I the pulse, the light, the embrace,
                                the knowing, the exaltation, 
                                    the PRAISE of GOD.

APOGEE Paradigm™

O' Sole Mio ... and touched be my heart... ♥
I grew up with my grandfather singing this to me.
He sang it with the purest of Neapolitan love.
He would say I was the SUN of his day...yes, sweet tears of love come to heart...

Neapolitan lyrics
Che bella cosa e' na jurnata 'e sole
n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!
Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già na festa
Che bella cosa e' na jurnata 'e sole
Ma n'atu sole,
cchiù bello, oje ne'
'O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
'O sole, 'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!
Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne,
me vene quase 'na malincunia;
sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria
quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne.
Ma n'atu sole,
cchiù bello, oje ne'
'O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
'O sole, 'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!

English translation
What a beautiful thing is a sunny day,
The air is serene after a storm
The air's so fresh that it already feels like a celebration
What a beautiful thing is a sunny day
But another sun,
that's brighter still
It's my own sun
that's upon your face!
The sun, my own sun
It's upon your face!
It's upon your face!
When night comes and the sun has gone down,
I almost start feeling melancholy;
I'd stay below your window
When night comes and the sun has gone down.
But another sun,
that's brighter still
It's my own sun
that's upon your face!
The sun, my own sun
It's upon your face!
It's upon your face!


'O Sole Mio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'O sole mio" is a globally known Neapolitan song written in 1898. The lyrics were written by Giovanni Capurro, and the melody was composed by Eduardo di Capua. It has been performed and covered by many artists, including such stalwarts of opera as Enrico Caruso, Beniamino Gigli, Mario Lanza, The Canadian Tenors, and The Three Tenors. Luciano Pavarotti won the 1980 Grammy Award for Best Classical Vocal Performance for his rendition of "'O sole mio". Though there are versions in other languages, "'O sole mio" is usually sung in the original Neapolitan language.

Here for ALL to enjoy ~ in presentation by The Three Tenors... a classic performance. When this performance was heard several years ago, tears of JOY brought to heart. Each Chamber of heart filled with a pulsing grace. Yes, remembered dearly was my Grandfather singing this to me .

Your BIRTH in Celebration Dear CHRISTOPHER

 

CHRISTOPHER


Such love and comfort from thy heart

From words of soul ne'er You depart 

The sun you wear in a light of grace

Beheld be your TRUTH within soul's place

Yours is of blessings and beauty supernal

You in the Presence of Love eternal 

What BE this beckoning passion real

A blessed destiny beyond all conceal

Behold this pulsing quest of time

The heart, the soul, the hand, the call of the divine


Happy Birthday

THE WINDOW


 

THE WINDOW
    The winds of change ever call
        There is a window to our soul
            A gate to our heart
                A key to our BEING
                    This the grace of love and light
                        This the supernal calling
                            Hear I its resounding call
                                The silence, the splendor
                                    The window
                                        The gate
                                            The key to SELF
                                                Spirit, Eternal, Love, Faith
                                                BE this the PRESENCE
                                                The PRESENCE
                                                The PRESENCE known.

Forged Through The Fire... "THE SOUND OF FREEDOM"

 



Life continues to light the flames of faith and to hold witness to the ever rising Phoenix... this the ever present Spirit alight with TRUTH. Be it expressions of works, of gestures kind, of words that echo empathy, understanding, regard, accord, be it of a listening ear, be it of caring hearts reaching anew, be it blessings shared... BE it the mission of righteousness... GOD'S CHILDREN ARE NOT FOR SALE... YES... heed well, "THE SOUND OF FREEDOM" those Forged Through The Fire...

Forged Through The Fire

Forged through the fire, petitioned he
Held within heart be liberation's decree
Burn - burn - burn - flame rise anew
The haunts of the past given their due
Consumed by truth ever so real
Be those daunting echoes of oppression n'er conceal
Rise from the ash of memories of time and place
THE WAY calls and set are new markers of grace.

      Stout Hearted Men
      You who have dreams
      If you act, they'll come true
      To turn your dreams to a fact
      It's up to you
      If you have the soul and the spirit
      Never fear it, you'll see it through
      Hearts can inspire
      Other hearts with their fire
      For the strong obey 
      When a strong man shows them the way
      Give me some men who are stout-hearted men
      Who will fight for the right they adore
      Start me with ten who are stout-hearted men
      And I'll soon give you ten thousand more-ore
      Shoulder to shoulder, and bolder and bolder
      They grow as they go to the fore
      Then there's nothing in the world 
      Can halt or mar a plan
      When stout-hearted men 
      Can stick together - man - to man...
      Oh...
      Give me some men who are stout-hearted men
      Who will fight for the right they adore
      Start me with ten who are stout-hearted men
      And I'll soon give you ten thousand more-ore
      Shoulder to shoulder, and bolder and bolder
      They grow as they go to the fore
      Then there's nothing in the world 
      Can halt or mar a plan
      When stout-hearted men 
      Can stick together - man - to man...
      (Give me some men who are stout-hearted men) [fade]
