One Voice

I was straightening up the kitchen and loading the dishwasher when I heard the voice.  Not a personal revelation from a higher being or directions from within my head giving me some new life direction.  Rather the crystal clear voice was that of a soloist with beautiful composition and it was coming from the tv.  I had one of those Sunday morning talkin head shows on in the background mainly to fill the air as I worked.  With this being the close of the year for the show, the producer decided to end on a civil note and hence the song presentation.

Something about the voice I found striking and consuming.  I instantly stopped my chore and made my way into the family room to get a better understanding of where the sound was coming from.

The soloist was in her military dress with her smooth voice filling the cavernous church.

It turns out the voice and subsequent performance was from the United States Airforce Band performing at the National Cathedral.  I was so pleased that the show, rather than showing the typical snippet of a performance, let the whole song playout.

Here is this link to this performance.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q41ctPLDHvU

This the sound of one who makes a choice

This is the sound of one voice

I thought you might want to take a couple minutes and enjoy this performance.

Leave the rest behind it will turn to dust

This is the sound of all of us 

Surrendering to the mystery
