Finding Our Way - Rev. Mary Gear
Recently a friend shared with me a recording by singer and songwriter Jacob Collier. Jacob is a very talented young musician with an amazing ear and an extraordinary ability to create music in community. This recording was made at the Heritage & Arts Centre in Bow, London, when Jacob invited a group of fans to meet him to make a special recording of his new single, “Little Blue.”
I’m sharing the recording with you in this month of love—love of music, love of making music together, love of the earth and sky and sea, love of the dark and the light.
Be sure to watch to the end to see what magic a choir can create together.
May you find your way home.
Blessings on your week,
Rev. Mary
