    Thanks to the life that has given me so much
    He gave me two stars, that when I open them,
    PerfectI distinguish black from white
    And in the high sky its starry background
    And in the crowds the man that I love
    Thanks to life, which has given me so much
    It has given me the ear that in all its width
    Record night and day, crickets and canaries,
    Hammers, turbines, barks, squalls,
    And the tender voice of my beloved
    Thanks to life, which has given me so much
    He has given me the sound and the alphabet;
    With the words that I think and declare:
    Mother, friend, brother, and light shining
    The soul route that I am loving
    Thanks to life, which has given me so much
    It has given me the progress of my tired feet;
    With them I walked cities and puddles,
    Beaches and deserts, mountains and plains,
    And your house, your street and your yard
    Thanks to life, which has given me so much
    He gave me the heart that waves his frame
    When I look at the fruit of the human brain,
    When I look at the good so far from the bad,
    When I look at the back of your clear eyes
    Thanks to life, which has given me so much
    It has given me laughter and it has given me the crying
    So I distinguish bliss from breakdown,
    The two materials that make up my song,
    And the song of you that is my same song,
    And the song of all that is my own song
    Thanks to the life that has given me so much

    So much beauty Grace. Jaime…one of my all time favorite songs and singer. I saw her live in Central Park Manhattan in the seventies. Here’s Mercedes with Joan Baez in 1988: https://youtu.be/rMuTXcf3-6A

    Everywhere we have lived, I have built a small cairn of locally gathered rocks to place near our front door, sentinels of protection. Recently I had a need to change my rock formation, to bring it closer to the front of our home, to show connection, to show a welcome. All of the rocks were gathered from one of my favorite places in New Mexico, Jemez Springs. The rocks form a circle from underneath one of our bedroom windows, facing the street. The assorted colors of the rocks speak to me of spirit, of connection, of earth wisdom. Formed in a circle, they hold the quiet joy of inclusion and welcome, welcome to all and especially welcome to grace’s sister rocks…
