I Am Victorious (Identity Series)Ephesians 6:13 “Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you're protected as you confront the slander, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious.I looked at several different scriptures for this morning's devotional. There are so many good ones in Ephesians. I don't know why I never saw them before. Or maybe I did, and the Lord is just showing me them again in a different light. I am not sure, but I love it! I saw this verse first this morning, and then I went back and forth on a few others, but my eyes kept being drawn back to this one. I know a lot of you are going through some really hard things right now, and what I felt when I kept being drawn back to this verse was that God wants you to know that you will rise victorious!He wants you to know that this thing you are going through, the situation you are in, will not take you down. This illness will not be the end. These financial matters won't be the end. Your estranged loved ones, this is not the end. You will be victorious. You will be healed. Your loved one will be healed. The Lord will provide for you to pay your bills. You won't be estranged from your loved one forever. Whatever it is you are struggling with this morning, I feel the Lord wants me to tell you you will rise victorious.The last part of this verse made me think of a song I saw in a movie called Pitch Perfect 2. The song was sung by a group of Germans who were competing in an a cappella singing competition. This song came into my mind because their performance was so powerful. They projected such strength when they performed this song. This is what we must do when we are dealing with the enemy.The verse says that we must put on the armor that God provides us so that we are protected when we confront the slander. Make no mistake, the slander is the devil. Of course, he won't look like the devil. He will look like someone who cut you off in the traffic. He will look like the person spreading lies about you. He will look like your co-worker or your boss. He might look like your children or your siblings. Whoever is causing strife in your life, the enemy is working through them. I want to read you the words to the song that popped into my mind, as I know it is not a coincidence that when I read this verse, this song came to mind. If you want to see the video on YouTube, you can type in Das Sound Machine  Car Show, and it should come up.  Here are the lyrics:They will not control us. We will be victorious[Verse 1]Paranoia is in bloomThe PR transmissions will resumeThey try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed downAnd hope that we will never see the truths aroundCome On![Verse 2]Another promise, another seedAnother packaged lie to keep us trapped in greedAnd all the green belts wrapped around our mindsAnd endless red tape to keep the truth confinedCome On![Chorus]They will not force usThey will stop degrading usThey will not control usWe will be victoriousAt first, these lyrics might not seem to make much sense. However, if you think about them in terms of what the enemy is trying to do to us, they make much more sense. The first line goes perfectly with the verse. They will not control us; we will be victorious. The enemy and his evil henchmen will not control us. We are God's children, and we are protected. However, we must put on our armor of protection. We must call on the Lord. We need to give Him permission to protect us. We need to read the scriptures so we know when the enemy is lying to us. We must stand in truth.The next verse in the song says Paranoia is in bloom. The PR transmissions will resume. They try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down. And hope that we will never see the truth around. Come On! This may not fit perfectly, but when we really think about it, we can see that the enemy is trying to make us feel paranoid. All we have to do is listen to the news for a few minutes, and we can see all the craziness going on in the world today. Also, it says they try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down. And hope that we will never see the truth around us. How many of us know someone who has struggled with drug or alcohol abuse? We know it is all around us, yet do we know that the enemy is the one who is pushing it on us. Do we know he is trying to keep us on drugs so we don't see the truth all around us? When we use drugs, when we drink, it alters our state, and we don't see things as they really are.The next verse of the song says, “Another promise, another seed, another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed. And all the green belts wrapped around our minds. And endless red tape to keep the truth confined. Come On!” How many people in our lives have promised us promise after promise and yet not kept them? How many times have people in the government, or in any authoritative power, promised something, and yet it never happened? I like how it says, “another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed.” This is so true in the world today. The enemy will tell us anything we want to hear to keep us trapped in greed. The world is all about how much we have and how much we can get. It is not about giving to others. It is about making sure we have what we need despite others.Next, the song says, “And all the green belts wrapped around our minds. And endless red tape to keep the truth confined.” Do you ever feel like this? Do you feel like the information we get from the news, social media, and YouTube are all just feeding us what we want to hear? Sometimes, I feel like the truth is impossible to find. It is always hidden in someone else's opinion about what happened. It is very hard to find the facts about the actual incident. The truth is harder and harder to find these days.The chorus of this song is one that I recommend we use as a mantra anytime we are having a rough day or anytime the enemy seems to be overtaking our thoughts. It says, “They will not force us. They will stop degrading us. They will not control us. We will be victorious.” We know this is true because the Lord tells us this in Ephesians 6:13. We will be victorious. The enemy can not force you. This is one of those things that the enemy doesn't want us to know. If God is willing to be bound by free will you better believe the enemy is also. He likes us to think he can do whatever he wants to us, and yet if we tell him to leave, he must leave. That is a fact he doesn't want us to know.You are so much more powerful than you know. The enemy is trying to keep this from us because He knows the game will be over if all of God's children start living in the power that the Lord gave us. If we all stood up to the enemy and said, “No more! I am done with your games. I know you can't hurt me because I am a child of the one true God. I know you have no power over me. I know you are a liar, and I refuse to believe your stupid lies anymore.” Can you imagine what type of world we would be living in if we were all able to do that? It would be glorious!I don't want to leave this verse today without addressing the beginning part of the verse. My eyes first went to the part that says, “You will be victorious,” and I think that message was what God wanted me to focus on today, yet I also want to make sure you all heard the first part, too, so I will end with that today. The verse above says it is important to wear the armor that God provides because “You are destined for all things.” You have a destiny and it is an amazing one. Do you know how I know it is an amazing one when I might not even know you? Because the enemy is attacking you. The enemy doesn't care about those who are lukewarm or those whose souls he thinks he has already won. The enemy attacks those who he is worried will do great things for the kingdom of God. The enemy only attacks those who are powerful warriors for the Lord.You, my friend, have an amazing destiny, and you will be victorious. I know things are hard right now. I know you can't see a way out and you think all is about to come crashing down on you. You don't see how your loved one will come back to you. You don't see how the cancer will be defeated. You don't see how you will pay your bills when your paycheck can't possibly cover it all. I get it. We can't always see how, and we don't need to. All we need to do is believe the Lord when He says we will be victorious. We can just thank Him, praise Him and wait for Him to work all things for our good.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, I ask you to protect our minds from the enemy. I ask you to help us to believe that we will be victorious. Show us how to put on the armor of God, Lord. Show us how to protect ourselves from the slanderer. Help us walk in our victory, Lord. Help us have hope that even though we don't see how you will arrange all things for our victory. We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus!

I am so excited to announce that the registration site for the retreat is now open and ready for you to register. I will put a link for the registration below the show notes.

It also includes tea, coffee, and water throughout the whole retreat; there will be mass, retreat talks, and so much more. I hope you will join us. It was an amazing retreat last year, and I pray it will be even better this year. The theme this year is come as you are. We tend to think we need to wait to turn back to the Lord or to sit and pray with the Lord until we are all cleaned up. This isn't what the Lord wants. He said come to me all who are weary and burdened, not all who are perfect. Come and spend the weekend learning about how much the Lord loves you. Learn to sit and talk with Him and hear Him talk back. I hope you will give it a try. Retreats are not just for those who are super holy, they are for those of us who want to be closer to the Lord. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I!

Don't be the guy on your deathbed looking back at your life with regret.That's what motivated Jeff Chisholm, a seasoned mortgage expert, to embark on a journey to find the best investment opportunity. With his family values and faith driving him, Jeff came across short term rentals.Their investment journey took an unexpected turn when Jeff discovered a hidden gem—a 10% down, second-home occupancy loan. This financing solution offered incredible potential for real estate investors, but the mainstream mortgage industry had made it less accessible.Determined to share this opportunity, Jeff became an educator and advocate for fellow investors. He not only provided financing but also secured better rates and fees, helping clients fulfill their dreams.In a market full of challenges, Jeff thrived, proving that seizing opportunities, even during high-interest rate periods, was the key to success. Today, he continues to be a trusted advisor and educator in real estate financing, showing that hidden opportunities are often waiting for those who take action.

As a wise sage once said: “Let the rain fall downAnd wake my dreamsLet it wash awayMy sanity'Cause I want to feel the thunderI wanna screamLet the rain fall downI'm coming clean”This song was actually about July in Spa, DID YOU KNOW?What a weekend! We had a sprint and a shootout and qualifying and practice AND a race (not in that order bc honestly I can't remember what order these things go in anymore??). The first half of the season went out with a bang with surprise podiums, another broken trophy (somebody get a bubble wrap sponsor STAT), Red Bull team radios that were sassy as hell, a super exciting announcement, an accidental announcement, hirings, firings, more break up speculations, and a weird dream about Daddy Christian (OOH LA LA!)??This is a very special episode because we have Shanna in town for the week, and we got to record an episode together for the first time in almost 2 years! Are the vibes off in person? Can we maintain the same level of nonsense?

Darknessby Lord Byron (1788-1824)I had a dream, which was not all a dream.The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the starsDid wander darkling in the eternal space,Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earthSwung blind and blackening in the moonless air;Morn came and went–and came, and brought no day,And men forgot their passions in the dreadOf this their desolation; and all heartsWere chill'd into a selfish prayer for light:And they did live by watchfires–and the thrones,The palaces of crowned kings–the huts,The habitations of all things which dwell,Were burnt for beacons; cities were consum'd,And men were gather'd round their blazing homesTo look once more into each other's face;Happy were those who dwelt within the eyeOf the volcanos, and their mountain-torch:A fearful hope was all the world contain'd;Forests were set on fire–but hour by hourThey fell and faded–and the crackling trunksExtinguish'd with a crash–and all was black.The brows of men by the despairing lightWore an unearthly aspect, as by fitsThe flashes fell upon them; some lay downAnd hid their eyes and wept; and some did restTheir chins upon their clenched hands, and smil'd;And others hurried to and fro, and fedTheir funeral piles with fuel, and look'd upWith mad disquietude on the dull sky,The pall of a past world; and then againWith curses cast them down upon the dust,And gnash'd their teeth and howl'd: the wild birds shriek'dAnd, terrified, did flutter on the ground,And flap their useless wings; the wildest brutesCame tame and tremulous; and vipers crawl'dAnd twin'd themselves among the multitude,Hissing, but stingless–they were slain for food.And War, which for a moment was no more,Did glut himself again: a meal was boughtWith blood, and each sate sullenly apartGorging himself in gloom: no love was left;All earth was but one thought–and that was deathImmediate and inglorious; and the pangOf famine fed upon all entrails–menDied, and their bones were tombless as their flesh;The meagre by the meagre were devour'd,Even dogs assail'd their masters, all save one,And he was faithful to a corse, and keptThe birds and beasts and famish'd men at bay,Till hunger clung them, or the dropping deadLur'd their lank jaws; himself sought out no food,But with a piteous and perpetual moan,And a quick desolate cry, licking the handWhich answer'd not with a caress–he died.The crowd was famish'd by degrees; but twoOf an enormous city did survive,And they were enemies: they met besideThe dying embers of an altar-placeWhere had been heap'd a mass of holy thingsFor an unholy usage; they rak'd up,And shivering scrap'd with their cold skeleton handsThe feeble ashes, and their feeble breathBlew for a little life, and made a flameWhich was a mockery; then they lifted upTheir eyes as it grew lighter, and beheldEach other's aspects–saw, and shriek'd, and died–Even of their mutual hideousness they died,Unknowing who he was upon whose browFamine had written Fiend. The world was void,The populous and the powerful was a lump,Seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, lifeless–A lump of death–a chaos of hard clay.The rivers, lakes and ocean all stood still,And nothing stirr'd within their silent depths;Ships sailorless lay rotting on the sea,And their masts fell down piecemeal: as they dropp'dThey slept on the abyss without a surge–The waves were dead; the tides were in their grave,The moon, their mistress, had expir'd before;The winds were wither'd in the stagnant air,And the clouds perish'd; Darkness had no needOf aid from them–She was the Universe.

Reading IIs 55:10-11Thus says the LORD:Just as from the heaven            the rain and snow come downAnd do not return there            till they have watered the earth,            making it fertile and fruitful,Giving seed to the one who sows            and bread to the one who eats,So shall my word be            that goes forth from my mouth;It shall not return to me void,            but shall do my will,            achieving the end for which I sent it.GospelMt 6:7-15Jesus said to his disciples:“In praying, do not babble like the pagans,who think that they will be heard because of their many words.Do not be like them.Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.“This is how you are to pray:            Our Father who art in heaven,                        hallowed be thy name,                        thy Kingdom come,            thy will be done,                        on earth as it is in heaven.            Give us this day our daily bread;            and forgive us our trespasses,                        as we forgive those who trespass against us;            and lead us not into temptation,                        but deliver us from evil.“If you forgive men their transgressions,your heavenly Father will forgive you.But if you do not forgive men,neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.”

HEY THERE, ya fierce difference maker.  We are glad you stopped by! Welcome to episode 2 of Consciously Unbecoming! We are going to begin digging into the masks we create from a very early age to help us show-up in the world. NO, NOT THE COVID MASKS....These masks we most likely created in childhood to help us cope with life, to fit in, to get by, to live day to day, with little conflict and shame! BUT, these same masks, may not be useful to us as adults thus pushing us to make a change or stay stuck in ways that do not serve us.Your Mask might come in the form of:Sit stillBe quietDon't cry, suck it upBottle your emotionsBe independentDon't let people help Be strongDo well in schoolGet good gradesHustle, hustle, hustleAccomplish and achieveFit inFollow a certain religionMarry a certain gender Follow a certain career pathAct in a certain way. Feel in a certain way.Behave in a certain way. Believe in a certain way. I have to look a certain way. I have to follow a certain life pathHave kids and settle downAnd, when we defect from this mask and take it off - are we okay with the consequences and expectations or do we want to continue living someone else's beliefs? We hope you enjoy! PS: The sound is weird in the beginning so watch Lisa blurt out her name. And, me awkwardly laugh....#RealLifeWith love,Jess and Lisa

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I think it's the only good one we've got left, primarily because it can't effectively commercialized. It's also a holiday devoted to something I consider to be a virtue -- gratitude. Among other things, it's a time to take a moment to enjoy and reflect on what you have. Eat a good meal, spend some time with friends and family, take a nap. It's like the antidote for the worst ills of modernity. Everybody just calm down for second. Christmas comes with huge expectations. It can be ruined in so many ways. It makes people stressed and broke. In the broader culture, it's only loosely connected with the birth of Christ anymore. And even that is only because the Roman Emperor Constantine decided not only that Christianity was going to be the state religion of Rome, but that it would also take over the traditional Roman and Pagan festivals held near the winter solstice. New Year's is another nightmare of a holiday. Get drunk, make resolutions that you won't even manage to keep until the 16th of January and if you don't have someone to kiss at midnight, you just get to feel like more of a lonely failure.All these expectations. So many of these holiday conventions have just become an assault on our psychological and financial well-being. But not Thanksgiving. Nah man. It's a couch of a holiday. Sit down, relax. It's the slacker holiday. Even if you ruin it, it's only Thanksgiving. Nobody has a weepy story about how Thanksgiving was ruined. And even the stories of Thanksgiving disaster all seem to have an element of comedy about them. But ruin Christmas... yeesh. Even worse, the mere fear that you might ruin Christmas, ruins Christmases. So Thanksgiving manages to be sacred without being serious. Because however threadbare the mythology of the 'first' Thanksgiving might be wearing for you, you can't get around the fact that it's a holiday predicated on the idea of being grateful. I have in mind a longer essay about the virtue of Gratitude -- how it works to dispel envy. Allows you to appreciate and enjoy what you have, but this is not that essay. So I will leave you with a Poem by Carl Sandberg, which I read every year at Thanksgiving. It's called Fire Dreams(Written to be read aloud, if so be, Thanksgiving Day)I REMEMBER here by the fire,In the flickering reds and saffrons,They came in a ramshackle tub,Pilgrims in tall hats, Pilgrims of iron jaws,Drifting by weeks on beaten seas,And the random chapters sayThey were glad and sang to God. And so Since the iron-jawed men sat downAnd said, “Thanks, O God,”For life and soup and a little lessThan a hobo handout to-day,Since gray winds blew gray patterns of sleet on Plymouth Rock,Since the iron-jawed men sang “Thanks, O God,”You and I, O Child of the West,Remember more than ever November and the hunter’s moon,November and the yellow-spotted hillsAnd so In the name of the iron-jawed menI will stand up and say yes till the finish is come and gone.God of all broken hearts, empty hands, sleeping soldiers,God of all star-flung beaches of night sky,I and my love-child stand up together to-day and sing: “Thanks, O God.”Happy Thanksgiving.

In the premiere episode of the Preaching Poetry Podcast, join us as we dig into a poem that also serves as a morality tale. We will examine the Prince and the Craven and we will see how the poem compels us to choose who we will emulate. Will we make the most of our opportunities or will we throw away what we have a run?Opportunity by Edward R. SillThis I beheld, or dreamed it in a dream:—There spread a cloud of dust along a plain;And underneath the cloud, or in it, ragedA furious battle, and men yelled, and swordsShocked upon swords and shields. A prince's bannerWavered, then staggered backward, hemmed by foes.A craven hung along the battle's edge,And thought, "Had I a sword of keener steel—That blue blade that the king's son bears,— but thisBlunt thing—!" He snapped and flung it from his hand,And lowering crept away and left the field.Then came the king's son, wounded sore bested,And weaponless, and saw the broken swordHilt-buried in the dry and trodden sand,And ran and snatched it, and with battle-shoutLifted afresh he hewed his enemy downAnd saved a great cause that heroic day.

#012 On Today’s show we have John McCarthy of the Postmodern Patriot Podcast on the show. John is a former Marine Infantry Officer who is obsessed with individual performance in the realms of health, wealth, relationships, and the intersection of all three. He recently became a father last year, and like most dads, he was under a lot of stress.Not only was John dealing with the stresses of becoming a father, but he did so in the midst of transitioning out of the military, graduating with his MBA, finding a new job, moving back to his home state of New Jersey, buying a house, and transitioning back into civilian life with his then pregnant wife. As you might expect, these compounding stresses caused John to gain a ton of weight in the midst of early fatherhood - poor sleep hygiene, no time to workout, ate whatever he wanted, etc. But as a former CrossFit coach with his L1 and L2 he knew what he had to do to get back into fighting shape. He just needed to get clear on his why first before he could come up with the how. Throughout our conversation, you’ll here: How John used CrossFit to get him into good enough shape to get into the Marine CorpsHow quickly he fell out of shape once the stressors of life came crashing downAnd how he got clear on his goals and took immediate action to lose all the weightYou’ll want to stick around to the end of the show where we discuss how focusing on nutrition is one of the key pillars to achieving your fitness goals.

 Our friends illumine join us this month to chat and present new works from our Eternal/Ephemeral concert series in June. illumine is: Kaitlyn Waterson (Mezzo-Soprano), David Brown (Violin), and Jodie Levine Brown (Piano).  David Brown arranged this month's theme and brilliantly incorporated themes from Sean and Dave's pieces (in addition to his own). Tune in to part two to hear how those themes develop! Find out more about illumine here. This episode includes: 0:00 S&DMM+Illumine Theme - Arr. David Mathew Brown (2018) 05:17 Improvisation - Illumine, Sean & Dave - Rainy, in C 07:27 Improvisation - Illumine, Sean & Dave - Reggae, in F# 18:17 Opposite Day – David Matthew Brown (2014) text, respectively, by Emily Dickinson, Robert Burns, an anonymous source, and the US Constitutional Committee of Style and Arrangement I: I Felt a Funeral in my Brain Brazenly opposing the text from the outset, Dickinson’s poem of agony and despair is bastardized by simple joyousness and frivolity. Listen for: •Shameless representations of laughter (ie. high registral piano, violin trills, and onomatopoeic laughter in the vocal part) •”Anti-Text Painting”: When the word is “down,” the music goes up; “beating” is represented by music box sounds, and “silence” is… definitively not silent •The use of the violin as an accompaniment instrument TEXT I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,And Mourners to and froKept treading – treading – till it seemedThat Sense was breaking through And when they all were seated,A Service, like a DrumKept beating – beating – till I thoughtMy mind was going numb And then I heard them lift a BoxAnd creak across my SoulWith those same Boots of Lead, again,Then Space – began to toll, As all the Heavens were a Bell,And Being, but an Ear,And I, and Silence, some strange Race,Wrecked, solitary, here And then a Plank in Reason, broke,And I dropped down, and downAnd hit a World, at every plunge,And Finished knowing – then II: A Red, Red Rose As sweet and romantic as the Dickinson poem is dark, Burns’ text is expressed through mechanical-sounding, unemotional, and sometimes atonal rigidity. Imagine a robot trying (and FAILING) to express love. Listen for: •A rigid vocal line, designed to obstruct expressiveness •”Sweetly played in tune,” which ends in an especially dissonant chord •Repetitive statements of “Dies Irae,” the most popular medieval doomsday chant TEXT O my Luve is like a red, red roseThat’s newly sprung in June;O my Luve is like the melodyThat’s sweetly played in tune. So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,So deep in luve am I;And I will luve thee still, my dear,Till a’ the seas gang dry. Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;I will love thee still, my dear,While the sands o’ life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only luve!And fare thee weel awhile!And I will come again, my luve,Though it were ten thousand mile. III: Eeny, meeny, miny, moe This dopey children’s rhyme – the inspiration behind Opposite Day – is performed with severity and needless drama. Listen for: •Relationships between the opening violin line and both the main vocal theme and “Catch a tiger…” violin part •Depth and gravity provided by the piano tremolo on low B-flats •Sweeping piano figures and melismatic vocal/violin lines, behaving as though the “Catch a tiger…” text is something profound •Recitativo on “My mother…” for added drama TEXT Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,Catch a tiger by the toe.If he hollers, let him go,Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. My mother says to pick the very best one,and that is Y-O-U! IV: The Preamble to the US Constitution Perhaps all of this irreverence could be remedied with a little patriotism. Listen for: •Again, frequent use of the violin as accompaniment – even omitting the piano for an extended section •A quote from the beginning of Gustav Mahler’s 1st symphony (played in piano chords), and a chord progression inspired by Anton Bruckner’s 4th – referencing two red-blooded American composers •Our National Anthem. Definitely. TEXT We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. 42:25 Improvisation - Illumine, Sean & Dave - "Old men, old friends sit on a park bench like book ends" 45:02 Improvisation - Frolicsome, in A 1:02:48 The Chimes of the Golden House – David Matthew Brown (2018)text by the composer In honor of the composer’s recently deceased grandparents, I. Eagle & Rita D. Levine, “Chimes” is a poetic tribute to their unconventional union that resulted in a large, joyous, and musical family. Adorning the house in which Eagle and Rita raised and partially raised their grandchildren, was a collection of 8-day mechanical clocks – each of which chimed at contrasting intervals and pitches. This, paired with Rita’s gilded decor aesthetic, was the atmosphere in which so many lifelong memories and relationships were established – and from which so much music originated. Listen for: •Three distinct chimes: the Westminster chime of the steel tongue drum, the shrill chime of the triangle, and the oscillating chime of the piano •A structure bookended by joyousness and rhythm, representing the energy of the house – and later, that of those homes belonging to Eagle’s and Rita’s descendants (“descendants of the vintage melody”) •The static atmosphere created and in spite of dense orchestration during the line, “As dust, suspended…” •A short fugue, leading up to the word, “counterpoint,” as the voice narrates – according to the poem – the entrance of each instrument, relevant to the instruments played by the family •The use of the wooden backs of the drum mallets to create a colder, more stark effect during, “Stark bell tones…” •The espressivo piano solo that concludes the piece, representing the composer’s mother (illumine pianist, Jodie), who – through her parents’ passing – inherits the mantle of matriarch. This is followed by eight bell tones for the eight grandchildren who grew up in the “Golden House” TEXT Music begins as the hour is struck. Offset by age, a chorus of metal voices enters the discordant song of the inevitable. The heartbeat of the house tolls with many perspectives – some over, and others understated. Together, they are unlikely but beautiful. Unfettered by the perpetuity of the song, its audience – young and old, at play and at work – live joyously within its realm. As dust, suspended in rays of sun through the window, a timeless serenity exists between the hours. Deep, golden afternoons could be memories or dreams – vivid sentiments of an ethereal world. If not for the swing of the pendulum, surely no time would pass. And in this, the meaning of the song is obscured – for time does pass, and the song becomes increasingly beautiful. A piano joins, its own distinguished peal harmonizing – enlightening its predecessors. It beckons a procession of fiddles, then flutes, each bestowing new vitality – new meaning to the venerable music. Enshrouded in a benevolent counterpoint, the song achieves the impossible. So many years later, the instruments have departed from a house devoid of its once gilded hue. Stark bell tones now herald the hour in the predictable synchrony of solitude. And yet, they are the heartbeats of new homes, each with its own unlikely, beautiful perspectives and colors. Descendants of the vintage melody revel as in olden times, enchanted by nostalgia. The pendulum swings; voices come and go – but the chimes of the golden house are eternal. 1:13:54 S&DMM+Illumine Theme - Arr. David Mathew Brown (2018)  

I think you are the April of this worldSure you are the April of this worldYour laughter has lit up all the windSo gently mingling with the springYou are the clouds in early springThe dusk wind blows up and downAnd the stars blink now and thenFine rain drops down amid the flowers                       So gentle and gracefulYou are crowned with garlandsSo sublime and innocent You are a full moon over each evening                    The snow meltswith that light yellowYou look like the first budding greenYou are the soft joy of white lotus Rising up in your fancy dreamland                    You're the blooming flowers over the treesYou're a swallow twittering between the beams Full of loveFull of warm hopeYou are the Spring of this world（Translated by Huang Xinqu）我说你是人间的四月天笑响点亮了四面风轻灵在春的光艳中交舞着变你是四月早天里的云烟黄昏吹着风的软星子在无意中闪细雨点洒在花前那轻那娉婷你是鲜妍 百花的冠冕你戴着你是天真庄严你是夜夜的月圆雪化后那片鹅黄你像新鲜初放芽的绿你是柔嫩喜悦水光浮动着你梦期待中白莲你是一树一树的花开是燕在梁间呢喃你是爱是暖是希望你是人间的四月天《你是人间的四月天》      民国时期诗人林徽因的经典诗作，发表于1934年4月的《学文》。关于这首诗有两种说法：一是为悼念徐志摩而作，一是为儿子的出生而作，以表达心中对儿子的希望和儿子的出生带来的喜悦。梁从诫先生在《倏忽人间四月天》中说：“父亲曾告诉我，《你是人间的四月天》是母亲在我出生后的喜悦中为我而作的，但母亲自己从未对我说起过这件事。”对于这首诗的创作意图，梁先生说得很客观。故这首诗一方面是一首情诗，是为已在天国的徐志摩而作。另一方面，林徽因是一个母亲，有着对孩子强烈的母爱，为孩子写一首这样轻快灵动的诗也是是绝对可能的。

Long, long ago, there was a little fox.He and his parents lived in a box.The father was crimson, the mother scarlet,And the little red son could fight down an ox!They worked together; they had no fears.Their teeth were sharp, and so were their ears.Then, one day, the little fox lad, Using his most efficient gears,Heard some deer, thirty at least.They weren't hunted down by many a beast.So the little lad decided to track them downAnd make his parents a sumptuous feast. He followed the deer to a giant plain,Where there was much prey to hunt and less rain.The little fox liked this place very much,So he had fun, hunting a deer and scratching a horse's mane.He went back home, dragging his prey.Their parents looked like they had their happiest day.But when the little fox told them he wanted to move out of the box,Their faces turned gray right away.They told him that outside there was danger,And also many a dreadful stranger.The little fox was, of course, very unhappy.So he went to his clothes hanger.There was hanging his favorite toy.It was a little red-shirted boy.He wanted to go to the vast plain,Even if he had to eat disgusting soy!So he went to his parents once more. And his little mind did freely soar.He suggested that they should move the box,The chairs, the tables, and many more!They thought the plan was very great.The little fox was exited of their fate.They moved everything, one and all,Three clean bowls, two stained dishes, and a dirty plate.They soon found the plain had lots of prey to catch—Goats and deer, batch after batch. And they had moved into a better box! If they wanted to turn on a light, they didn't have to do anything, not even flick a switch or pull a latch!Although the prey were not very weak,Them the foxes could easily seek.Their new house was cozy and comfortable,With tables that were tough and floors that didn't creak! 不愿意待在盒子里的狐狸很久很久以前，有一只小狐狸，他和家人住在一个盒子里。深红色的爸爸，猩红色的妈妈，红红的小家伙哪怕是一头牛也敢前去比一比。他们耳朵聪聪，牙齿锋利，无所畏惧，同舟共济。突然，有一天，这只小狐狸凭着灵敏的耳朵，察觉到30多头鹿的踪迹。显然，后面没有捕食者追击。小狐狸此时心生一计，要弄只肥鹿回来给爸爸妈妈打打牙祭。他尾随着鹿群，来到了平原，猎物很多，但常年干旱。这个地方，小狐狸喜欢，追鹿，抚马，十分开心。等小狐狸拽着猎物回家，幸福的笑容在爸爸妈妈的脸上挂。当小狐狸说要离开盒子，他们脸色突变，让人害怕。说，外面的世界十分凶险，可怕的陌生人随处可见。小狐狸一听，很不高兴，一个人来到衣架面前。那里挂着他心爱的玩具，那是一个穿红衣的男孩，一脸童趣。小狐狸执意要去平原，即使要吃恶心的豆子也心安不惧。他再次来到爸妈面前，小小的脑袋高速运转。他建议把东西全部搬走，盒子桌椅，一切齐全。爸妈觉得这主意很棒，小狐狸想着即将改变的命运心旌荡漾。他们搬走了三个干净的碗、两个半干不净的碟子和一个脏兮兮的盘子，总之，所有的东西，只要能用的上。他们很快发现，平原上猎物很多，有羊，有鹿，一拨过去又有一拨。这个“新盒子”可比原来的好了很多。想要开灯，无需按开关，想要关门，无需拉门闩。说来说去，什么也不需要干。尽管猎物强壮无比，找到它们却很容易。他们的新居舒适温暖，有结实的桌子和不叫唤的地板。
