The study of scripture, tradition, rationality and experience are presented as four reasonable pillars upon which to inaugurate enquiry toward the life of quality. It is quality of life and not quantity which is to be desired. The ultimate life of quality would be expressed through sacrifice with reason. In other words the greatest good is accomplished by human beings when one lays down their life for the good of another. Most people’s lives are examples of small sacrificial acts performed to the greater comfort or good of others, consciously or unconsciously. Some are called to greater endeavours and become saints. Christ of course was the greatest example of such an offering, bringing about the greatest good.

The work of TJH in the first decade of the twenty first century may be regarded as a further analysis of contemplative thought.

Thousands of songs were written, many of which saw public performance; many are left unheard by the public to date.

The ‘Observations’ series: Love, Pilgrimage, Consolation and Hope were fascinating projects covering many years of contemplation culminating in the summation of these works as ‘Hermeneutics’.

The joy shared through the medium of music may be summarised thus: ‘Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn (Ps. 57:8).’

Sometimes dramatic, sometimes sublime, TJH’s presentations from that decade of recordings at the very least may be spoken of as interesting. Lovers of acoustic folk should find something for the palette. The classical musician may admire something of the freedom expressed. Thinkers should have some fun. Lovers of the divine will simply know the joy shared here. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
