For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 
 a time to be born, and a time to die;
 a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 
 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
 a time to break down, and a time to build up; 
 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
 a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 
 a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
 a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 
 a time to seek, and a time to lose;
 a time to keep, and a time to throw away; 
 a time to tear, and a time to sew;
 a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 
 a time to love, and a time to hate;
 a time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
A musical reflection on these verses from Ecclesiastes a contemplation of time and season….
John Rutter’s “To everything there is a season.”
