Good morning and welcome to the new week and the first week of September. Can you believe that we are already in September? I have spent the last two weeks on vacation and have enjoyed the time even though we had several trips to Toronto (3) for appointments last week. We will be there again today for the final appointment (hopefully).
I wanted to choose something special for this weeks song. This is the week that we remember 911. On September 11, 2001 the world changed. I felt that the world grew smaller and darker. This song has nothing to do with 911, it is a culmination of a work that I love. I have never used this singer in the blog, I am not really a fan of any of the work this person did, alone or as a member of a duet, except for this song. The song is sad as it deals with loss, some have even sung it at funerals. However, the loss is tempered with the belief that a new life awaits as we cross to that distant shore. The song is not part of the original work, but was added to the last portion when the work was transferred to film in 2003.
Across the sea, a pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn, to silver glass
A light on the water
Here's what I would like to know:
The name of the song:
The writer (s) of the song:
The singer:
The destination (what is the distant shore called):
The name of the movie:
Have a great week. Today is a holiday. School starts tomorrow for all the kiddies and I return to work after a lengthy break. Fall will be here soon so enjoy the last vestiges of summer as she passes. In the midst of the revelry that is the first week of school and as your sons and daughters leave to go to school, be thankful that your children do so in relative peace and are not harassed for going to school. There are so many children world wide who do not, cannot and are not allowed to go to school. The children may not appreciate this, but we must appreciate this and the freedoms we enjoy in this country.
