Description

William Penn’s prayer of humility — kindness, patience, dependence on God — spoken in English, then Chopin’s Nocturne in C minor, Anton Kingsbury. The Big Nest again: Quaker founder’s ask, then piano. Not a Pennsylvania history lecture. A short devotion and a minor-key night piece. For a virtuous life requested, not performed. Speech, then keys. Penn’s words; Chopin’s weather. An English prayer hour that keeps both halves honest, without a choir between them.
