"TODAY" ❈ The New Christy Minstrels ❈ 1964

❈❈❈❈❈❈❈❈❈❈❈❈❈ February 20-2014
Today it is cloudy and the snow falls like a blanket. Beautiful, unusually LARGE flakes that seem to dance their way from Heaven to Earth.... So magical.
Even more beautiful and amazing than that, is the fact that there is a single bird sitting right outside my window on a tree branch, as the snow falls on and all around him. It is AWESOME to view. He sits there as if the snow is purifying his soul, because surly he can find shelter if he chooses.
He arrived as I was uploading this Song "TODAY"
I have looked in every tree on the property and as far as I can see there are no other birds... Not One. I woke up with the thought of the value in appreciating ever moment, and the song "today" came to mind.
It's a song that my mother and my elders would play constantly. And now I have the beauty of this bird who continues to sit there.... as I change the photo on the video to the photo I snapped of him outside my window, as he enjoys the snow.
I framed it with a photo of a frame. It is not my actual window frame...
This touches my heart deeply. It's as if he were sent to me.... So Magical!!!

"TODAY"
❈❈❈❈❈❈❈❈❈❈❈❈❈

Today while the blossoms
Still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries
I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows
Shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy
That is mine "Today"
❈
I'll be a dandy
And I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am
By the song that I sing
I'll feast at your table
I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what
The morrow shall bring
"Today" while the blossoms
Still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries
I'll drink your sweet wine
❈
I can't be contented
With yesterdays glory
I can't live on promises
Winter to spring
"Today is my moment
And now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry
And I'll sing"
❈
"Today" while the blossoms
Still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries
I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows
Shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy
That is mine
"Today"
