On My Way To Heaven

I saw somewhere (sorry, I don’t remember where…) a beautiful project: A Hymn from an old hymnal framed in beautiful dark wood. So I searched and I found one in a crowded coffee-house that bears the name of a Reformer: Bucer. I brought it back home, and now…I don’t dare to tear it apart!

Today I took it down from the shelf and began to look at it close enough to be engaged by its smell, by the mystery of an old book.

Now I love my old Hymnal…and wonder who held it? Why was it sold as an unwanted book?

So precious, filled with so many beautiful words.

I closed the old book, and put my “great project” away…too beautiful to tear apart.

Now the book is on a table ready to be touched, read, smelled, sung.

I will go and find a new project or maybe an old hymn book already torn apart!
