a quiet place can enclose a song the bonner troupe is back in town our new sign of spring along with robin's song and victoria's birthday while waiting the weeks 'til winter's end we anticipated these anthems and songs their new and needed messages about old and marvellous mysteries there is a hurry in the place now fewer are here and everyone seems quiet there is intensity in our practice singing we discover little special spaces of praise and wonder the words reminding us of our need the music reminding us of our joy no break - for we are intent on our purpose no story - for there is a time ahead where it best belongs little sharing, laughing, or tugs at the heart tonight there is a holy coming in the air tomorrow something feels promised we feel comforted and in god's quiet hands
