I saw a great white mountainIt stood still and forlornCast upon a lonely landA face in stolid formI went to see that mountainI thought it called to meA voice raw with emotionIt called with urgencyYou I’ll give adventureUpon my rocky cleftGreat and wild to beholdUpon the mountain deftI ranged upon that mountainI felt its every poreI stood upon its high peakI saw the eagle soarI met strange and wondrous peoplesTough and hard as the stoneI met strange and beautiful creaturesWhere the high wind has blownNow live I with the mountainI hear his voiceless cryI’ll hear that call all my daysUntil…
In the early morning sunrise Glories seep across the sky Brilliant burning raging color Set alight the clouds so high Slowly dawn makes known her presence Light azure in lonely streaks Branching out from lofty heaven Chasing stars by mountain peaks See the dawn in all its glory God of wonder spoken true The very wealth of this His heaven Give the glory that He’s due

I get asked how I am doing by friends and aquaintences, as I go about the daily practice of living.

Words spoken by Lynn Faulkner, the father of a girl who lost her mother in the WTC on 9/11. The President had been working the line, shaking hands with people on Tuesday at the Golden Lamb Inn in Lebanon, when someone mentioned that the girl had lost her mom.
