Oh. wow!! This is a gorgeous sermon and a stunning revelation about finding and using ones authentic voice to praise the Divine!! Thank you!! The root word for sing actually means a creaking... like your voice is something that is broken... ~~ *i am awed and deeply reverent* ~~ how often have i sung and caught myself critiquing my own voice, my breath, my ability to be mindful? Is my voice strong enough, stable enough, pure enough? Is my breath coming from that deep place within or is it shallow and weak? Am i staying focused on my offering and staying humble before the effort? BUT... BUT... our voices... are designed???... to be broken, to creak out our offering??? So that... perhaps... our voices can become whole and strong and certain *through* the offering??? And *through* receipt of the Grace in our being *willing*??? This. This brings to mind Leonard Cohens lyric from Anthem: ring the bells that still can ring... forget your perfect offering... there is a crack, a crack in everything... thats how the Light gets in... ***YES***
