Distantimacy 21:16
Early In The Spring: Early, early in the spring I was pressed onboard to serve my king to leave my dearest dear behind who oft had told me her heart was mine as I hold her in my arms I thought she had 10,000 charms with compliments and kisses sweet promised to marry the next time we'd meet as I sailed all oe'r the seas I took this kind opportunity to write kind letters to my dear but nothing from her could I hear til I wrote to her father's hall and for my dearest love did call saying "where's the darling of my eye where all my joy and comfort lie?" the old man rose and then replied "young man I fear you'll be denied my daughter's married a richer life therefore I pray seek another wife" o curse all gold and silver too yes curse a girl that won't prove true and one that will her promise break and another wed for his riches sake I'll stay no longer here on shore but cut my way where the canon roar yes cut my way where the bullets lie and sail the seas till the day I die "billy billy stay on shore don't cut your way where the canon roar nor cut your way where the bullets lie there's many a handsomer girl than I if you wrote kind letters to this town I can prove to you I received none if the fault is great the fault's not mine so don't reflect on the female kind" as I was walking London street a letter I saw beneath my feet and on its back these words were wrote our constant love is near forgot so dig my grave both wide and deep place a marble stone neath my head and feet and on my breast a turtle dove to show to the world that I died for love

about

Put together from videos sent from the JPH band during the 2020 COVID19 quarantine.

In the Spring of 2020 we were all given the gift of longing for something we couldn't have. But that same longing has been the lifeblood behind the great romances, tragedies, cities and songs that comprise the fabric of our humanness.

May we continue to fall into complete longing to find what we truly desire.
