Another City That I Love.....

St. Louis Cathedral, oldest Catholic Cathedral in the U.S.

Loved all the old wood and hardware

The Old Ursuline Convent, oldest building in the Mississippi Valley.  The Interior was amazing.

Blue skies.....great canvas

The soulful people who live outside the cathedral at Jackson Square

Music is well said to be the speech of angels....Thomas Carlyle, Essays, "The Opera"

The Tomb of the Unknown Slave

There is neither Jew nor Greek, 

there is neither slave nor free, 

there is neither male nor female; 

for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 

Galations 3:28

 The top of the church above the Tomb of the Unknown Slave....on a bright clear sunny day...

There was the moon.

The whole experience....reminds me of this song by Lucinda Williams.   

Blessed

We were blessed by the minister who practiced what he preached
We were blessed by the poor man who said that heaven was within reach
We were blessed by the girl selling roses who showed us how to live
We were blessed by the neglected child who knew how to forgive

We were blessed by the battered woman who didn't seek revenge
We were blessed by the warrior who didn't need to win
We were blessed by the blind man who could see for miles and miles
We were blessed by the fighter who didn't fight for the prize

We were blessed by the mystic who turned water into wine
We were blessed by the watchmaker who gave up his time
We were blessed by the wounded man who felt no pain
We were blessed by the wayfaring stranger who knew our name

We were blessed by the homeless man who showed us the way home
We were blessed by the hungry man who filled us with love
By the little innocent baby who taught us the truth
We were blessed by the forlorn, foresaken, and abused

We were blessed
Yeah, we were blessed

beautiful people.
