Food for Thought (#78)
“The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain,
the sound of wind in a primeval wood,
and the sound of outer ocean on a beach.”

Food for Thought (#77)
“Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.”
– H. Jackson Browne
…
Yep. Here’s my subtle way of reminding you that the fundraiser for “my kids” is tonight; 7:00 pm at Rushford Hall in Northeast (for those of you in the Cities.)
We’re raising money to put on the musical Alice In Wonderland in March. If you can make it — great! — tickets are $25 at the door.
If you can’t make it, you could always send a donation to the school. *smile*
(A big thanks to those of you who already asked me about mailing donations.)

“For it is in giving that we receive.”
– St. Francis of Assisi
Food for Thought (#76)
I spent the many (many, many) hours traveling back to the states staggered by all that I learned during my latest singing adventure.
I have spent the week since my return working through my jet lag (*tired grin*) and trying to figure out how to integrate and apply that “knowledge.” Hard when most of it feels so intangible and when I can already feel the presence of the week slipping away. (And then there was chicken. *smile*)
With all this reflection, I came up with my keyword for 2011:
“Embody – to express, personify, or exemplify in concrete form;
to organize; to incorporate; to embrace; to manifest.”
I want to spend the next year becoming what I glimpsed about music and improvisation in Africa.* To more fully connect with the self I am when improvising and to inhabit the world I create when I sing.
How about you? Have you found your keyword for 2011?

Note: According to the map, I was in the Spanish Canary Islands, but in my heart and body I was in Africa. (More on that later.)
