I fell asleep this afternoon, I won’t be here tomorrow (at the freakin’ hospital again!) so I thought I’d say so, just so you know I’m probably all right (unless they make me disappear).
Here’s a song you probably know from Babe. Here it’s used as a hymn to celebrate God’s creation of heaven and earth and all things living.
It’s a reminded that can do us good.
I’m under orders from my wife and from my editor: rest! Get well.
That’s what I’ve tried to do today. It’s raining, but a break in the weather allowed me to have a cigar. And then we settled down to watch Babe.
The musical theme in Babe is an adaptation of Symphony No. 3 by Camille Saint-Saens, sung here by the Libera Boys Choir. It never, never fails to move me. We have the lyrics for you in the video. They’re in Latin, but you might find it surprisingly easy to understand.
And the movie itself is genuinely inspiring. I feel better for having watched it.
