You know, I’ve been wondering lately how I got away from music so much. There was a time that music played in my home during most of my waking hours. Somewhere along the line, I got accustomed to the sound of silence, but music energizes me so that I think I must re-develop the habit.

And speaking of sitting, I just sat here stopping all brain and hand function to concentrate on where that music took me.

Now I’m listening to the rest of the album as I type this (at this second The Boy With the Moon and the Star on his Head). I LOVE music. LOVE it. Thank you for this trip back in time.

So lovely will just have to do for now.

To nourish, replenish, the soul from which our writing springs.

To work something out. Or just to amuse ourselves. And if I ever lost that sense, I’d quit writing.

You’ve inspired me to pull a weed or two.

And know I have to admit I have a few of his songs on my ipod that I enjoy listening to. You’re right about the writing as a means of communication. Some of the first things I remember truly crafting were letters to people I loved. In many ways those were just as satisfying to write as my novels.
