Beloved Lord, Almighty God!
Through the rays of the sun,
Through the waves of the air,
Through the all-pervading
Life in space,
Purify and revivify me, and, I pray,
Heal my body, heart, and soul.

Music: best ever! 
Selection of dances:
Arrived expecting to miss the old dances, departed surprised
having enjoyed the new selections
as fully as the old dances. Good job! ~ Brian
Exceptional music! I so love to hear the accordion & the viola - so glad that both of those musicians were there this year + a flutist. Enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces that I only get to see once or twice a year. Thank you so much DiAnahita for hosting again this year.
