I sent a song to my dear friend David, on his birthday, and invited him to start his birthday by taking a walk with me in our nature here in Sweden, to hear what possibly inspired, and appeared during this walk. ;)

You can also experience this walk visually here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uvdvLJZB0U

I also sent it to our dear colleagues Ed, Dan & Peter who have done many great collaborations with us, and asked them to "walk with us". ;)
This is the result of this delightful walk..... and we all, wish you all to have a lovely morning walk with this beauty, stillness, and pleasantness, during a wonderful morning, wherever you are. ;)

Peter lyric:
A tempered bond of ether gold forged from trust in seeming kin

Blenched of ore hewn from so much more than mere common ground

Metallicised, a like of kind that cannot tarnish, ne'er to rust, it's strength, atomic, set within

And so my grateful thoughts are due, my friend, to you, as one where empathy is ever found

To crystallize a state of mind as if from walks in morning dew as bright new days begin.

A Walk In The Morning Dew - Seagull, David, Ed, Dan & Peter

Five studies for a Nocturne - iii

What was the best part of your childhood?  For me it was Scarborough Beach and playing the piano.  I also loved school.  Mostly because elementary school was a really fun place to be and there were so many things to do!  My inspiration for writing this song came from looking at a photo album of me and my daughters.  Precious times...

Inspired by these words of William Wordsworth

"Moving about in worlds not realised,
High instincts before which our mortal Nature
Did tremble like a guilty thing surprised:
                      But for those first affections,
                      Those shadowy recollections,
                Which, be they what they may
Are yet the fountain-light of all our day,
Are yet a master-light of all our seeing;
                Uphold us, cherish, and have power to make
Our noisy years seem moments in the being
Of the eternal Silence: truths that wake"
