Sunday Singing

I wish I could have found a live video version of this song to post. I like the song so much that I'll share it anyway because the lyrics (and melody) are so beautiful.

"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny?...It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. what you see is what you get."

Annie Dillard "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek"
