A few of my favorite things

A few of my favorite things 

Looking at paintings of Cezanne Rembrandt Van Gogh and Rodin 
thinking of their lives and of their times 
of where and when they painted 
of why and of who they where with 
These are a few of my favorite things 

 Listening to music of Coplan’s Appalachian spring 
Beethoven’s ninth symphony jazz of miles monk colt rain 
songs of Dylan chimes of freedom and blowing in the wind 
These are a few of my favorite things 

Thinking of the past 
when Robert Kennedy touched a small black Childs face with a tender 
 hand and asked if he had eaten that day 
and of his speech when he told the crowd king had died and quoted the Greek poet   
Aeschylus 
even in our sleep pain which cannot forget 
falls drop by drop upon the heart 
until in our own despair 
against our will comes wisdom 
through the grace of god 

When Joan Baez in Sarajevo during the surge in bullet proof vest 
changed places with a street musician Vedran Smailovic who plays a cello in 
the public square she takes his place and sings amazing grace 
When jimmy carter befriends a little boy Mattie J.T. Stepanek who wrote poetry of just peace and a message of hope in his short time of life 
Of the first responders who went fearless into the falling towers to save lives 
These are a few of my favorite things 

When in the wilderness and mountains peaks or lakes and rivers 
seeing wildlife in their habitats amongst the swarms of morphing swallows and sunbeams and rainbows the quite springs and moving tides 
and gulls in their nests 
These are a few of my favorite things 

Sitting in a café with a friend or a quiet walk along the shore 
talking about books and ideas of the day 
of feelings experiences and such things 
of creating something of beauty to share with others 
These are a few of my favorite things
