I find you in damp burning air...  Bent over and pumping a well.

DIMINISHING Returns

From the depths of my Heart I bring the timbered tune to you.

Traveling Through The Memory

"The immortality of the soul was hardly doubted in Celtic lands if Roman and Greek sources are to be believed. With respect to Celtic belief, Julius Caesar stated that souls “pass after death from some to others” (ab aliss post mortem transire ad alios). This may simply mean that the soul obtained a new corporeal vessel after it departed from its old shell. However, taken alone this quote tells us little about what the Celts truly believed regarding death and reincarnation.

Other classical authors noted that the druids believed in the idea of the transmigration of the soul. Diodorus Siculus stated that the soul “lives again after a certain number of years” in another form or body. Lucan also paid mention to the druid’s belief in reincarnation. He stated, "The spirit governs limbs in another region; if you know whereof you sing, death is in the middle of a long life.” This quote delineates the transitory nature of the soul and simply states that the body is the vessel that houses it. Yet others likened the druid’s teachings to that of Pythagoras (who also adhered to the notion that souls went through a transmigration process). From what little can be gathered of the remaining references to Pythagorean teaching, it was thought that the soul might reincarnate into either human or animal bodies. This was known as metempsychosis."

Percussivo No. 165

A song for piano composed by Suzuki for my little granddaughter, to which I afterwards added the lyrics. The resulting song seems to reach us from out of the past. Recorded in April, 2022.

Lyrics for Hand in Hand (My Sweetest)

Strolling along on the promenade in spring,
Lazily, wandering in my mind, my dear;
Thinking how happy I might be
If you my darling, we’re here with me
Walking hand in hand.

Yes, I would give you anything, dear,
Just to be with you
Walking hand in hand.

In The Comfort Zone

The Rules Are........

Pale

Worn out shirt
soft and faded
cotton threads gone bare 
in places 
 Days I put it on 
I feel just like I did 
          when 
A while back and 
           then 
brush my cheek against its fabric 
I’ve made it stretch and give
same way I learned to live 
and 
I put it on so I feel just like I did
              when
A while back and 
               then 
pearl buttons over silver clasp
white ivory combs in a lightnin flash 
caught out in the open 
gettin drowned 
this sodden clothing 
where my warmth is holding 
in a shirt that’s softly fading 
cotton threads gone bare in places
every tear has been repaired 
for the life and memory of the person 
that I was and who I’ll always be

Bare In Places
