The Bulb in the Flower

I've loved the "Hymn of Promise" from the moment I first heard it.  It expresses endings and beginnings that flow in and out of each other. It certainly fits right in the Easter season, into the arrival of Spring, and to a nation torn apart over differing views on politics, justice, and peace.

 

I've learned that TS. Eliot may have inspired some of the lyrics of the Hymn of Promise with his powerful use of   "In my beginning is my end [T.S. Eliot, "Four Quartets" Part II: East Coker].

 

The hymn was written by Natalie Sleeth, after the death of special friend.
