Baroque Christmas (with Cancer)

My soul seeks celebration,
Wondrous bright decoration.
 
Bring holly and ivy, and garlands unfurled.
And sing Baroque carols; lighten my world.
But no! How their beauty does wring my heart sore.
I weep and cry out. I cannot take more.
Yet Rudolph and Santa, leave me empty and hollow.
So play on Baroque carols and let the tears follow!
 
So play on symphonies de Noels,
O Jesu mi Dulcissime,
In Nativitatum Domini Canticum,
And Harmonia Caelestis.
Prepare ye the way for the
 Jubilate! Alleluia! and Gloria!

On that lovely/sad note: Terry and I attended the Bemidji High School Christmas Concert last night. Beautiful and amazingly, mostly religious-Welsh carols, French carols, some traditional, some madrigal, some new, and all beautiful and wonderfully faith full! God be praised.

    Note from Elizabeth

    Although I am determinedly declaring that I will not allow being  a cancer patient to define me, I recognize that  in truth,  for the next several months, it will in many ways do just that, This blog, Fighting with the Wind, is where my medical updates, philosophical musings, humorous anecdotes,  heart-warming stories, spiritual contemplations,  angry rantings, and  joyous celebrations can be found.
