Thanksgiving

Love the light, and the darkness..the music and the silence. I am grateful for the glorious blessings of this life, and all of its characters and nuances-my compassionate teachers. All that is not based in love is distraction from the light.

Fearless

Addie had her first recital in a recital hall today. Since Gillian was sick as a dog, she and Papa stayed home. This is only relevant here because I had two hands to videotape and photograph this blessed event, and I missed her swaggering onto the staged, coquettishly flirting with THE ENTIRE AUDIENCE because I had my camera in my hands and my video camera balanced on my knee. Good God this child has no fear. There were probably 300 people in the hall. Of no matter to Addie, who adored performing for the lot of us. This is her last pizzicato performance, ever. Upward and onward.
