There is some history behind the hymn, Amazing Grace and I think, each of us could write our own chapter.
Laura's work, by the same title, is an extraordinary work - in itself. To read "Amazing Grace" and then read it a second time, but this time - slowly and putting yourself in her place and contemplating what she's feeling on the inside and what going on externally, reveals the strong fortitude of character she possessed in the face of adversity. How many could endure that kind of pressure and uncertainty and still go forward, honoring an inner drive to search out the "truth?" Very few.
The video was very inspirational, for the setting felt so natural and free flowing. The harmonics of their voices, intermingled with the musical instruments, especially the Bagpipe's was excellent. When you think of what it takes to organize something like that, on a large scale and have everything come together - perfectly - it's amazing. By the same token, consider Laura's history and what has been accomplished by pure fortitude, desire and what has materialized in each of our lives, due to her unwavering efforts in search of truth. What she set in motion is coming to fruitation and has multiplied, so we may share. that's a "grace" in itself.
