There is a particular form of carol which uses a phrase in Latin with the majority of the lyrics in English. In my group we've been improvising chants. This humorous one came to me when the cat chose to stay in the room, enjoying a pool of sunlight on the floor.
Lumen Solis
Cat in the sun
In perfect peace
To which I aspire
Of course, inevitably, it turns in to purrfect peace.
Today I saw horses dancing in the wind. Two beautiful work horses gamboling like a yin and a yang, sharing a moment of joy as we chanted. We stopped to watch them—there was no other word to describe their joyful movements but dance. Lung Ta—Tibetan prayer flags— are called Wind Horses. They carry our prayers on the wind. This was the first time I'd ever seen flesh and blood wind horses.
