Musings of the journey...

That lonesome road...

This morning, the Vox Peregrini singers stood on the curving staircase of the Stoops Guesthouse B&B and sang “That Lonesome Road.”  And I was moved to tears again.  There is something deeply Divine going on inside of me through their music.

A memory washed over me as they sang.  When Gil was President of Grand Canyon University, he provided the opportunity for vocal musicians to be a part of the President’s Singers choral ensemble.  Keith Whitlock was the director and he auditioned sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses to be a part of this unique group.

One evening we were holding a dinner at our home for a group of supporters of the University and the President’s Singers were invited to sing for us (yes, they got dinner as well).  They stood in the entryway of our home and sang their signature song, “In This Very Room.” They filled our home with their voices of powerful harmony.  The sound radiated throughout the house and created a cocoon of serenity… and beautiful artistic expression.  I was moved to tears then as I am now.

I always felt our home was uniquely blessed because of the President’s Singers music.  When we sold it, I remember thinking that the new owners are walking into a sacred space… where there was quite enough love, and quite enough joy and quite enough hope and quite enough power to chase away any gloom.  The beauty was I took that same love and joy and hope and power with me because today I remembered how I felt and how I was moved deep in my soul.


One of the Vox Peregrini soprano singers shared with me how meaningful it is for her to have ears to hear her artistic expressions in song.  I wonder if this is a part of the movement I’m feeling in my soul?  I wonder if the singers and I are creating sacred art together? I wonder what lessons in holy listening will I continue to learn as I wander down that lonesome road…
