I just bought new sheet music – James Taylor. It’s a guitar book, but I can make do with the chords. I just had Fire and Rain playing over and over in my head today after I learned that my dear friend and teacher, who happens to be a Jesuit priest, has passed on. So I’m sending him off with a smile and a song, as he’s always enjoyed when we were together.

“I’ve seen fire and
I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days
that I hoped would never end
I’ve seen lonely times
when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again…”
- James Taylor, Fire and Rain
