Fire on East 7th Street

A fire broke out in a tenement on 7th Street and Avenue C this afternoon.  FDNY was on the scene.  At the time of posting, I don't have any details on the fire.

Update:  No one was hurt in this fire and it sounds like it was confined to the roof.

Catch them while you can

My favorite row of cherry trees has bloomed on Bleecker and Mercer Streets.

These photos don't do them justice - they really are spectacular and should be viewed in person.  But hurry, I give them another week at the most before the pink petals are replaced with green leaves.

Something is afoot...

There are strange things happening every day
I hear music up above my head
Fill me up with your wonder
Give me my rapture today.


Untitled

Let me contemplate the presence so divine
Let me sing all day and never get tired
Fill me up from your loving cup
Give me my rapture.

Untitled


Won’t you guide me through the dark night of the soul
That I may better understand your way
Let me be just and worthy to receive
All the blessings of the lord into my life.


Untitled

Let me purify my thoughts and words and deeds
That I may be a vehicle for thee
Let me hold to the truth in the darkest hour
Le me sing to the glory of the lord.
Give me my rapture today.
