“Gondoliers in a serenade” Cancer 20

This symbol is illuminated at 4:43 PM EDT July 10

Higher calling

At its best, this symbol harkens to the way one might hear a compelling serenade… music with which there is such affinity that it could only be from beyond this world, as if it were the sweet nectar of divine love drifting in song.

You will not hear this on CNN.

It takes a wee bit of an internal split to hear this. Imagine talking with a friend, your attention following her words and expression, her mood and energetic glow, yet all the while some soft overtone pulls attention far up, away, and beyond.  Your friend might say, “You seem very amused by what I am saying.” You might reply, “It is such a joy just to hear you speak. Your words are like music to me.”

Everybody sing!
Casey would waltz with the strawberry blonde,
And the band played on.
He'd glide cross the floor with the girl he adored,
And the band played on.
But his brain was so loaded it nearly exploded,
The poor girl would shake with alarm.
He'd ne'er leave the girl with the strawberry curl,
And the band played on.
