Diary Notes
A Tuesday in Tune
As I write this, I am listening to the hauntingly beautiful sounds of “Elevazione” by Domenico Zipoli, which I have played over and over today, its depth and beauty a perfect accompaniment to the dark and light tones of my day.

Mid Winter brightness
Monday morning began with cold, crisp, bright promise and the week has held its positive flow... Friday today and I have managed not to delete anything crucial, have managed to write a few posts on the The Holly Tree Tales, have not managed to add more subjects to the menu line (forgotten how), but there's time to grow … Continue reading Mid Winter brightness
