A few moments ago I was worshiping God through the photography of Brett Weston
(http://brettwestonarchive.com/Images) and I got this art song by Ravel stuck in my head from Scheherazade, you know that story about the princess who would have been killed had she not told the King stories that didn't end that night so he didn't be-head her because he wanted to hear how the story turned out, remember?
Well I was on youtube listening to it and I thought, dang it's in French and I wish I knew what it meant. Then I saw a beautiful photo of this glorious beach as an album cover for another song about Scheherazade. I listened to it and knew it was Jesus singing a love song to me. It's terribly deep, myterious, and like Song of Solomon in passion and beauty.

"the young prince and the young princess as told by scheherazade"
And you would cause the sun to see your light
And then be shamed
You cover darkness with a thousand secret flames
With your love, oh my love, oh my love, my love
And I would cause the winds to blow a hundred different days
And bring the perfumes of the gardens of the ways
Of your love, oh my love, oh my love, my love
Crystal and the clay, nights and the days
All on the prince’s seal
Eagle of the sky, lion of the earth
This is what the seal is worth, what the seal is worth
Holds all of the dreams of a man
Tapestries, wishes of man, pictures and visions of man
The spirit of the soul of the man
And he would vow to love her for the rest of all his days
