The world against me rages, its fury I disdain;
Though bitter war it wages, its work is all in vain.
My heart from care is free, no trouble troubles me.
Misfortune now is play, and night is bright as day.

--Awake, My Heart, with Gladness (Auf, Auf, Mein Herz, mit Freuden), Paul Gerhardt

Apologies...

...to any readers I may have out there.  Life has happened, and time for this blog has been "backburnered".   Intentions are good though... (after Christmas?)
