Out And About: CCW Retreat 2019

Central Coast Weavers Guild Retreat
Camp Ocean Pines
Cambria, CA
November 8-10, 2019


You were dreamin'
On a park bench
'bout a broad highway somewhere




When the music from the carillon
Seemed to hurl your heart out there




 Past the scientific darkness
Past the fireflies that float
To an angel bending down 
To wrap you in her warmest coat




And you ask
What am I not doing
She says
Your voice cannot command
 In time you will move mountains
And it will come through your hands

 



Still you argue for an option
Still you angle for your case
Like you wouldn't know a burning bush
If it blew up in your face




Yeah, we scheme about the future
And we dream about the past
 When just a simple reaching out
Might build a bridge that lasts


 


 And you ask
What am I not doing
She says
Your voice cannot command
In time you will move mountains




And it will come through your hands




Through your hands


 


 So whatever your hands find to do
You must do with all your heart


 


There are thoughts enough
 To blow men's minds
And tear great worlds apart




 There's a healing touch to find you
On that broad highway somewhere




To lift you high
 As music flyin'
Through the angels' hair




Don't ask what you are not doing
Because your voice cannot command
In time we will move mountains
And it will come through your hands.




Through Your Hands, John Hiatt, 1990
