True compassion is more than flinging a coin at a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice that produces beggars needs restructuring.
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Birds inspire and uplift us with their carols... In the muslc of both birds and humans, beauty is "the wine which overflows." When the last lark has fallen silent, something holy will have vanished from the world. The chorus of life will be muted. The cathedral of the earth will have lost its choir.
