Wild Songs...I wish for you a life where your blood sings with the voice of an eager wild thing. With a voice that says I am here & in this short time, this is the song I sing because I can. 

“I’m telling him a story about Skagen. It’s in the north of the country where the two oceans meet. I went there once with my mother. She was sad because her boyfriend left, and I was sad because I had a fight with my best friend. So she brought me to the end of the beach and then she pointed to the right where the Baltic Sea is. It’s a very beautiful and very blue sea; the current travels west. Then she pointed to the left to the North Sea; also a very beautiful and blue sea, but the current travels east. Then she pointed to the middle and she said that that is the perfect relationship… You look to the left and you look to the right, and both seas are there. And they can meet in the middle, but they never lose themselves in each other. They are always themselves no matter what.”—  Effy, Copenhagen

...song of the day....The Shadow of Your Smile

New Day Beginning...It is not what you first think.  There is no effort of will no firm resolve in the face of this thing called living. There is only paying attention to each quiet morning.  While you hold your cup in the cool air & then that moment you choose to spread your love like a cloth upon the table & invite the whole day in again.
