Every single item on your list here nurtures my soul, including the one about your unfortunate migraines--I'm so sorry to hear that you're having to contend with these. I say that this, too, is nurturing because it removes all legitimacy from whatever reasons I may concoct for not doing my own creative work. Just look at what you put in the world, against all that would attempt to hold you back! Thanks for the emboldening message in the quote by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, and for all of the artists you've fallen in love with along the way, including Phoebe Stone. I'm so glad to have stumbled upon your work in Orion. You've made my Sunday. morning!!

Thank you for your generous gifts. Chiaroscuro in the world of classical singing is the blending of light and dark in the voice which is difficult to maintain at the extreme edges. I agree with your observations on number 16 and often feel that the incredible distraction in number eight is the tree in number 12. I also really enjoyed Phoebe Stone’s artwork. The Greyed down greens and blues are in sync with a season that has yet to disarm us with bold colors.
