Kusa Hibari

"But he sings the song of his race as it was sung a myriad years ago, and as faultlessly as if he understood the exact significance of every note. Of course he did not learn the song. It is a song of organic memory - deep, dim memory of other quintillions of lives, when the ghost of him shrilled at night from the dewy grasses of the hills."

- From Kusa Hibari by Lafcadio Hearn

Science

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

- Albert Einstein

Voices '10

"And so our mothers and grandmothers have, more often than not anonymously, handed on the creative spark, the seed of the flower they themselves never hoped to see -- or like a sealed letter they could not plainly read".

- Alice Walker

 

There has been a lot happening over the past several weeks. We're buying a house, so most of our free time has been dedicated to packing and preparing for a move next month. It's a beautiful place, a log cabin style house on the outskirts of town. A lot of excitement and energy, it's a big life change. My muse has been hearing about it and sending creative sparks my way.

This month I did a new version of Voices adding LibriVox Recording of Some Time by Eugene Field. The song was wrote for my Mom who passed away when I was a little girl. She's the cute ballerina in the picture, loved writing poetry and baking ginger cookies with my Gram.

Blink Fast Forward

"But through this connected frame
Runs one universal aim;
Towards the Good do all things tend,
Many paths, but one the end.
For naught lasts, unless it turns
Backward in its course, and yearns
To that Source to flow again
Whence its being first was ta’en."

-  From  The Consolation of Philosophy by  Boëthius
