The Liturgy Of The Hours: Compline
“We entrust ourselves to the night as if it were a great ocean from which we can fish up all sorts of wonderful things..”
From The Music of Silence by David Steindl-Rast
Compline completes the Liturgy of the Hours.
Its end marks the beginning of the Great Silence

It struck me, perhaps because I had a good glass of a cabernet after a long day of work, that what appears to be a dusk or dawn photograph (beautiful) is like the music score below. It’s as if the photograph might be sung or played on an instrument. Perhaps it’s the wine.
