The bee is not afraid of me.

I know the butterfly -

The pretty people in the Woods
Receive me cordially -

The Brooks laugh louder
When I come -
The Breezes madder play;
Wherefore mine eye thy silver mists,
Wherefore, Oh Summer’s Day?

Under The Influence

La Combe II Ellsworth Kelly

 King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)

The Message Bible

15 Would you do me a favor, friends, and give special recognition to the family of Stephanas? You know, they were among the first converts in Greece, and they've put themselves out, serving Christians ever since then. I want you to 16 honor and look up to people like that: companions and workers who show us how to do it, giving us something to aspire to.

This music is from the WOW Gospel 1998 Album It's my favorite right next to Abbey Road, if you can believe that.

Love the sassy flautist.
