I have two violin heroes now--the first is my teacher, Sahara, and the second is a 24year old German-Slovakian-born prodigy who entered her country's college of music at the age of 9. My mom called to relate a similar story, and jibe me about being so very very old. My cat has moved up from the basement and into the adjacent room when I practice, a step up. He's learning to be patient with me. I'm going to ask Sahara to show me how to play four notes of a Bjork song that my choir group is rehearsaing. Is this love? xo

That's quick work,

or perhaps the cat is going deaf?

How 'bout an Mp3 of your progress?

Sunny

He had a choice between going outside to the sunny front steps, or staying in on a cushion in the sunlight by the window...and he chose to say inside, even though I was making violin sounds which were sure to impair his delicate hearing. Smiling I take encouragement from little things these days.

I asked myself, what can I look forward to with great pleasure in the near future, now that I don't have orgasms? and I answered that it was the long term effort and patience put into music especially, that will bring me great satisfaction. More patience for myself as I fall in love with the small and cared for choices I make.
