How like a chord community can be,

A fellowship of voices as a whole,

Resounding in incarnate harmony

Made lovely when the voices share one goal.

 

Oh, friends and countrymen, lend me your ears;

No reader of this rhyme needs stand alone.

You’re in a song surrounded by your peers;

You’re in a chord whose notes are flesh and bone.

 

Now, music isn’t void of stress and strain-

Oblivious to tension and release-

Much sweeter when the sound of the refrain,

Resolves the discord with a voice of peace.

 

    And though the single soloist is free,

    Harmonious alone can never be.

Marc Hays

Marc Hays has been married to Jamie for 18 years. They have 6 children: a single, a double, and a triple. Yep, that’s right—triplets and twins. They have been home educating since 1999 and a part of Classical Conversations since 2010. Marc serves as the Leader Curriculum Developer for Classical Conversations MultiMedia. He also directs a Challenge III program in middle Tennessee. Marc enjoys his morning rituals of drinking coffee, reading books, and peeking in on the kids while they sleep. His favorite coffee is Costa Rican; his favorite author is C. S. Lewis; and his favorite kids are currently six in number. His lifetime aspirations are subsumed under one prayer: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.” A secondary goal is to be his great-grandchildren’s Challenge director. He is confident that the primary goal will come to pass. He hopes he is blessed with the secondary one as well.
