Today, during a musical performance, I was obliged to dress up like Mary Poppins and dance about to Singing in the Rain. ...What one does for ones art...

"He left His Father’s throne above, So free, so infinite His grace—Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam’s helpless race: ’Tis mercy all, immense and free, For O my God, it found out me!" -Charles Wesley (at Apex Mountain Resort)

Pears!!! Just for the record they hurt when they fall on your head. And a lot of them do that. 😑

Caught in a tree, apple picking... #orchard #apples #itsstillsummertillisayso

You can hear the sound of falling #water- not a trickle but a steady, loud flow. In the distance, softer, #birds call to one another. The #sun is warm on your bare arms though your hands are cool from the water. You lift your eyes from glowing yellow flowers and radiant green plants to the #sky. It's clear and blue- a blue that's lighter around the edges as it outlines trees and mountains. Such a blue that fills your eyes and mind and seems to stretch on #infinitely. Everything is #beautiful. When in a #moment, with the soft sun and your back and a gentle #wind in your face, the unmistakeable scent of ripe #apples drift to you from a nearby #orchard. That moment becomes perfect.

“Some Believe it is only Great Power that Can Hold Evil in Check. But That is Not What I have Found. I Have Found That it is the Small Everyday Deeds of Ordinary Folk that Keep the Dark Forces at Bay. Small Acts of Kindness and Love.” Gandalf, J.R.R.

“Camping” in the backyard… under the most gorgeous sky of stars. I would be content to watch them forever as they move in steady march across the dark dome of sky.

Tonic immobility

We sat down to dinner at our seminar professor’s house, and somebody started talking about how orcas will sometimes flip sharks upside down, explaining that this causes them to go into a state of tonic immobility. 

So our professor says, “They just can’t get out of C major.”

For the holidays all I want is a bill passed that creates more jobs, better education, healthier people, and less conflict in the world. We'll call it Music Education Appropriations Bill 101.
