To Higher Things


'Music... is given by God's generosity 
to mortals having rational souls,
in order to lead them to higher things.'
 
Saint Augustine

Painting:  Joseph DeCamp, The Cellist

  1. Yes - how true! I am so thankful for music. How empty the earth would seem without rhythm and melody and it's power speak to us through nature...both the external nature of created things..and the internal workings of the soul, whose natural language and expression is worship..the singing of praise to God!

    1. Sometimes I think music must be "the language of heaven."
