What Is Holy

A setting for voice and classic guitar by Thomas Heck of a poem by David Krieger. The soprano is Carol Ann Manzi.

What is holy is not to walk on water.
What is holy is to walk on earth
one step at a time.

What is holy is not silence.
It is the sound of wind through the leaves,
the sound of birds, of breathing, of voice.

What is holy is not purple robes.
What is holy is what is natural,
naked and unadorned.

What is holy is truth, simple truth,
and the willingness to seek it and speak it.
What is holy is not a cause, not an "ism."

What is holy are our connections
to one another.
