I give you the end of a golden string; Only wind it into a ball, It will lead you in at Heaven's gate, Built in Jerusalem's wall.8. Monos ho Jesus7. The ruins of Time build mansions in Eternity. 6. If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.5. To see a world in a grain of sandAnd a heaven in a wild flower,Hold infinity in the palm of your handAnd eternity in an hour.4. How do you know but every bird that cuts the airy way, Is an immense world of delight, clos'd by your senses five?3. It is right it should be so Man was made for Joy & Woe And when this we rightly know Thro the World we safely go Joy & Woe are woven fine A Clothing for the soul divine Under every grief & pineRuns a joy with silken twine2. He who binds to himself a joyDoes the winged life destroy;But he who kisses the joy as it fliesLives in eternity's sun rise. 1. There is a Moment in each Day that Satan cannot find,Nor can his Watch Fiends find it, but the Industrious findThis Moment & it multiply, & when it once is found.

Joy and woe are woven fine, A clothing for the soul divine. Under every grief and pine Runs a joy with silken twine." William Blake Auguries of Innocence "...Every night and every morn Some to misery are born. Every morn and every night Some are born to sweet delight. Some are born to sweet delight, Some are born to endless night. We are led to believe a lie When we see not thro' the eye Which was born in a night to perish in a night, When the Soul slept in beams of light. God appears and God is light To those poor souls who dwell in night, But does a human form display To those who dwell in realms of day."

S7 E2: Celebrating Robert Burns with Address to A Haggis In January, Tea Toast & Trivia celebrates the great Scottish poet and lyricist, Robert Burns. Widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and celebrated worldwide, Burns is best known for his poetry written in the Scots language, with works such as “Auld Lang Syne,” “Address to a Haggis,” and “Tam O' Shanter.” His poetry reflects themes of love, nature, and Scotland's cultural heritage. Haggis holds a special place in Scotland's culinary and cultural heritage, embodying the spirit of an indomitable nation. This traditional dish, made primarily from sheep's offal mixed with oats and spices, reflects the resourcefulness and frugality that characterized Scottish life, particularly in rural areas. The deep connection between haggis and Scotland's identity is further solidified by its association with Robert Burns and his poem, “Address to a Haggis”. He praises the haggis as the “great chieftain o' the puddin' race,” suggesting that it is a dish worthy of honour and respect—much like the Scottish people themselves. Haggis has become synonymous with the festivities of Burns Suppers held worldwide each year on January 25th, where friends and families gather to commemorate Burns' life and works. The act of addressing and serving haggis during these events is steeped in tradition and serves as a joyous reminder of Scotland's vibrant culture. It encourages the sharing of stories, music, and camaraderie. Come join me to celebrate Robert Burns with his iconic “Address to a Haggis”! The vivid imagery and spirited language invite us to join in the festivities of a Burns Supper and pay tribute to the enduring legacy of Scotland's beloved national poet. Address to a Haggis Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,Great chieftain o' the puddin'-race!Aboon them a' ye tak your place,Painch, tripe, or thairm:Weel are ye wordy o' a graceAs lang's my arm.

Having grown up in the military, packing up and moving every few years was part of my life as early as I could remember. Our move to Illinois, though, the year I started third grade, wasn't like the ones before it. My mother didn't stand in the rooms with the moving company ensuring that her china was wrapped just so, that the teak table and chairs remained unscratched, that her piano was moved gently. And our things, she didn't hear my stories about my stuffed animals and dolls, my books -- the explanations for why they most certainly needed to make the trip north. Instead, without thought or selection, without narrative history, or biography, everything from my drawers, closet, and every surface in my room, was unceremoniously picked up and dumped into boxes, which, when filled up, were sealed closed, headed for burial in a moving truck. One box left me deeply troubled. The woman from the moving company's fleshy arms hurled more than held my treasures into the cold darkness of a box, and while popping a cigarette in her mouth and casting her eyes about the room for what must have been her lighter, sealed the box and got up with a harrumph. She didn't seem to like her job, I thought. And then it hit me. Squee! Oh no! I dashed around the room looking for my favorite stuffed animal, Squee the mouse. Squee had been my companion from an early age. And since my mother had died a few months before, he had come back into my life as a great comfort. But he was not on my bed. He was not under it or anywhere to be found. I was in a panic! Squee was in the box! I was terrified for him. You OK honey? The moving lady said when she came back in. But I couldn't speak. And I sat down, with my back to the box, legs curled into the hug of my arms. After dinner My dad helped me unseal the box and dig through it, until we found him, Squee. A book had been pressing into his snout and left a triangular imprint, so I gave him extra love there. Many weeks later, after our long drive north in our convertible VW, the moving truck arrived at our new quarters, and we began unpacking. In one of the boxes marked “girl's room” I unearthed a jar with coins and a note in it . . . “I owe you” the note said. “On June 1, 1973. I owe Mary Carter Greene $2.35 and will pay one dime every day after June 10 if not paid by then. Signed, Alan Greene.” Wait a minute! I had hit the jack pot! This was January and my brother never HAD paid this back. His debt was more than 200 days overdue. That buried promise had made me rich! Joy and Woe are woven fine, William Blake wrote. “It is right it should be so; Man was made for joy and woe; And when this we rightly know, Thro' the world we safely go. Joy and woe are woven fine, A clothing for the soul divine. Under every grief and pine Runs a joy with silken twine. I couldn't have been happier, but there was much weeping and gashing of teeth, when I brought the credit slip to my brother. It wasn't long before our dad had to get involved. 14 ‘For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; 19 After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. Matthew's parable is most often read one of two ways – each as contradictory to the other as the story of my young self – able to love so fiercely I would stop the world for a stuffed animal, and equally able to extort my only brother's last penny, if I thought it were owed me. Although sometimes read this way, Matthew's story does not point to a Kingdom where some are denied because they fail to participate. The story draws attention to an unjust system. The parable would have been heard in its day as a description of the times– when peasants were extorted and their land was taken by those who held the concentrated wealth of powerful families and influence as city officials; The parable reflects how the early followers of Jesus struggled in difficult times to know how to best wait for his return and how to live in the meantime. Should they play into the social demands to do the dirty work of the system or live in a radically different way that might realize the Kingdom Jesus described earlier in Matthew? An act of subversion and resistance, those who heard Matthew's Gospel were then and are now invited to exercise the same. Unjust social systems, accumulation of wealth by the few, and greed of the many, as described in the parable, persist to this day, of course. Andy Knox at his reimaginingthefuture blog1 retells the parable for our global economy this way . . . For it will be like the CEO of a big chocolate company, who went to the Ivory Coast to ensure a good flow of chocolate into the West and ever expand his chocolate empire. He called three of his most entrusted leaders to himself and asked them to ensure more chocolate at a lower price. He set one of them, with the most experience over 5 factories, the next one over 3 factories and the last one over 1 factory. The first two . . .knew if they did well, they would secure their own future in the company and good income for their families. . . they came up with a cunning plan. They decided the best way would be to get cheap or even free labor. So, they enslaved children from the surrounding area . . . (from) families who were too poor to keep them. (They) . . . put them to work in the fields, picking the cocoa, or . . . at the grinding machines, under terrible . . . conditions, in which many of the children died or were abused by hard task masters. The third manager saw what the other two were up to . . . He refused to enslave children and couldn't understand the motivation of the CEO. He chose to pay people a fair wage, keep their working conditions good and have strong morale amongst his team. The CEO returned. He was . . . full of praise for the ‘business acumen' of the first two. He paid them well, ensuring his ‘fair trade' logo and set them up for even more . . . The third guy was out . . . sacked from the company with no right of appeal. Confused and dismayed . . . (he) continued try to live a life that restored people's humanity and hoped for “the more beautiful world our hearts tell us is possible”. Andy Knox's retelling of the parable demonstrates how Woe and joy are woven fine. It is hard to do the right thing in systems that demand and oppress at worst and enthrall and distract at best. But it is possible. It can be hard to see into supply chains like the one described in parable of the chocolate magnate, but to act justly in a problematic system, we can consider our consumption in the first place and be intentional about how we spend our money. As someone who loves shopping, I'll be the first to admit that making changes can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, there is research to support next steps. A Nature article, “Scientists' warning on affluence,”2 for instance, lays out a strong correlation between affluence and the growing climate crisis. The research doesn't stop at gloom and doom; It offers steps to correct for our part in the system. “For over half a century,” the article says, “worldwide growth in affluence has continuously increased resource use and pollutant emissions far more rapidly than these have been reduced through better technology. “The affluent citizens of the world.” The article continues, “are responsible for most environmental impacts and are . . .” (here's the parable at play) “central to any future prospect of retreating to safer environmental conditions.” The research-based article lays out some clear, if not easy, behavioral changes we can make in the U.S. including avoiding . . . oversized, unnecessary and duplicate goods and services; shifting from animal to plant-based food sources; sharing and repairing before replacing goods; and pushing for regulation that reflects concerns for people and the planet. These may be new habits, even counter cultural to the clarion call for the new, new thing in the days leading up to Black Friday and the biggest shopping season of the year. But this is what our Gospel teaches us. The Kingdom of God will be brought by the courageous, even the radical. These sorts of changes are necessary, and they are possible. This sort of faith brings us here today where our shared communion unites us with God and as the Grace Cathedral community. Our shared commitment to stand up for God's creation and all of humanity, and against systems that oppress, degrade, and injure, means we do not have to be the alone in metaphorically burying the talent. In the radical presence of the church still standing, still growing, still thriving, we respond the crises of our time as a community. We have not yet been a community to stand back and watch God's people get boxed up and sealed away from hope, and I know we won't allow God's creation to suffer that either. Have courage and meet our time – this is the message of our parable today. The third man in the parable does not sow despair by planting that talent, he seeds hope. Woe and joy are knit together. God is our source of this joy and the presence that will provide all we need to meet the times. So, this week, which we mark as Ingathering Sunday, we give thanks for all who have pledged to support the cathedral financially, and we nudge those who are waiting, to invest your gifts and treasures in this cathedral community. With courage, together, we are 100% Grace.
To give to another is to give up something you have. It's the basis of the world philanthropy, “phila,” meaning love for one another. Two episodes ago we talked with Alan Mulally, about how that kind of love isn't wired anywhere in our brains. We are not that far from our hunter-gatherer ancestors – why would we ever give up our food to strangers? Aren't we hungry too? Our guest today is a philanthropist, to no surprise. Gail Miller is the wealthiest person in the state of Utah, having taken on leadership of her late husband's foundation after he passed in 2009. In the time since, Gail's reorganized almost all of the company's assets, selling off the Utah Jazz, moving money and effort into real estate, healthcare, homelessness services. What does philanthropy mean to Gail? I hope you enjoy.

S5 E3: Celebrating Robert Burns & Address to the Haggis Some hae meat and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it, But we hae meat and we can eat, And sae the Lord be thankit.” Robert Burns is one of the most important figures in Scottish culture and history.

He wrote extensively about the history of Scotland, and his works are often seen as a representation of the struggles and triumphs of the Scottish people. He was a great advocate for social justice. His poetry and narratives are often used to inspire people to strive for a more just and equitable society. Robert Burns' poetry is varied in its themes and styles, and his writings have been adapted to numerous musical genres. His best-known works include “Auld Lang Syne,” “To a Mouse,” “Comin' Thro' the Rye,” and “A Red, Red Rose.” These poems are beloved for their romanticism, their humor, and their insight into the human experience.

It's another epic ballad this week as I catch up with Franz Andres Morrissey to learn more about this song, that was originally collected in Scotland. We also chat about the ups and downs of the Swiss folk scene, have a good old gossip about Robert Burns, and I learn where Martin Carthy gets his tunes from.Brown Adam, or Broun Edom, is a rare song with some old, even pre-Christian, themes and motifs. It unfolds in true storytelling style and includes such colourful characters as a False Knight, a faithful Lady, and Brown Adam himself, a magnificent young Smith. Shenanigans ensue and there's quite a bit of gratuitous bird shooting before the story moves on. Who needs Netflix when you've got songs like this?Franz is an academic (though he carries it lightly) and an experienced folk musician, and we talk about his book, Language, the Singer and the Song. We also discuss his play which tells the stories of slavery through words and song.His band Taradiddle (https://taradiddle.ch) has just recorded an album that will be out soon, and there's a rumour that there'll be tour dates announced shortly. You can hear more of Franz's music on Soundcloud.MusicBrown Adam was performed and produced by by Franz. The episode also features three live recordings by Taradiddle: Benediction Song, Who's The Fool Now, Hey Ca' Thro and Leaving Limerick. You can find more here. There's also a snippet of the song that Franz and I recorded together remotely, Now Westlin Winds.AcknowledgementsFranz and I met through The Barnstoners, a self-organising group of musicians who have all been to the fabulous Stones Barn run by Maddy Prior and Rose-Ellen Kemp up in Cumbria. It goes without saying that we're big fans of theirs and recommend them highly.

The Drowsy World Dreams Onby Walter Everette HawkinsA flower bloomed out on a woodland hill,A song rose up from the woodland rill;But the floweret bloomed but to wither away,And no man heard what the stream had to say, For the drowsy world dreamed on.Thro the frills of a curtain a moonbeam crept,Till it fell on the crib where a nursling slept;And a whisper and smile lit a wee dimpled face,But none save the angels their beauty could trace, For the drowsy world dreamed on.A wee bird piped out mid the corn,A rose bloomed out beneath the thorn;But the scent of the rose and the birdling's layOn the winds of the morning were wafted away While the drowsy world dreamed on.And the drowsy old world's growing gloomy and gray,While the joys that are sweetest are passing away;And the charms that inspire like the picture of dawnAre but playthings of Time—they gleam and are gone, While the drowsy world dreams on.

Adam talks with Sara Pascoe and Richard Ayoade, (two British comedians who have also read and written, more than one book) about J.D. Salinger's classic 1951 novel 'The Catcher in the Rye'.SYNOPSIS: The story begins with 17 year old Holden Caulfield recuperating following a breakdown. The rest of the book is an account from Holden's point of view, of the events that lead to that breakdown, which took place the previous Winter in the days following his expulsion from Pencey Prep, a private school. Holden's roommate is a meathead called Stradlater who has sexy plans for Jean Gallagher, a childhood friend of Holdens who he feels protective of. A a fight ensues after which Holden spends two days killing time in New York before he has to face his parents and inform them of his expulsion. We learn that things have been difficult for Holden since the death of his younger brother Allie when Holden was 13. From time to time Holden dwells on the memory of Allie's old baseball glove on which his little brother had written poems to read during boring baseball games. Now Holden entertains hopes of moving in with his older brother DB, a WWII vet who has become a successful screenwriter in Hollywood. During his visit to New York, a lonely Holden visits a jazz club and spends much of his remaining cash buying drinks for three older women, after which he arranges an abortive liaison with Sunny, a teenage prostitute and falls foul of her thuggish pimp Maurice. Later Holden arranges a meeting with an old girlfriend, Sally Hayes, and is briefly looked after by a well meaning teacher Mr Antolini. But Mr Antolini's affections are interpreted as predatory by Holden who ends up, distraught and emotional, creeping into his parents house to see the only person in the world he feels he can really talk to - his little sister Phoebe.Thanks to Anneka Myson for additional editing and Seamus Murphy-Mitchel for production support on this episode.RELATED LINKS'SALINGER' (2013 DOCUMENTARY FEATURE)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JSFr7YdKLE'J.D.
