New Morning

Was there ever such hope and promise? 'So happy just to see you smile underneath this sky of blue'...

Well, no blue skies here today. Today the rain has washed away the morning frost and I am hoping the wind holds off as I am due to take the float plane to town tomorrow...

New Morning is a lovely album. If you have never heard it, give it a try. I have been listening to it a lot lately. I need the hope and promise it brings. If I had the time, I would give you a run-down of the songs... I think there is a good case for just listening and absorbing without preconceptions. All I can say is that this album calms a raging soul and gives optimism in the darkest times.

I must just point out that you haven't lived (!) until you hear the way Dylan delivers the lyrics of 'If Dogs Run Free' :

My mind weaves a symphony and tapestry of rhyme.
Oh, winds which rush my tale to thee
So it may flow and be,
To each his own, it's all unknown,
If dogs run free.

Take the time to breathe and enjoy the best of life.
