As I travel over mountains and through valleys, I am beneath your feet. You surround me with every kind of creature. Peacocks, pheasants, and wild boars cross my path. Open my eyes to see their beauty, that I may perceive them as the work of your hands. In your power, in your thought, all things are abundant. Tonight I will sleep beneath your feet, O Lord of the mountains and valleys, ruler of the trees and vines. I will rest in your love, with you protecting me as a father protects his children, with you watching over me as a mother watches over her children. Then tomorrow the sun will rise and I will not know where I am; but I know that you will guide my footsteps. ~ Unknown Musician's Corner Wondering what 432Hz means? Traditionally music instruments are tuned to 440Hz standard. Going through some difficult periods I discovered the healing power of listening to 432Hz music, so why not tune and sing to this more harmonic healing frequency. A parishioner came up to me after one of my masses, amazed how well the music system sounded in the church. The only difference from my pre-COVID settings is tuning to 432Hz, as acoustic harmonics in this frequency helps improve the live sound and also for the listener.
