And back home

| No Comments

Two - count 'em - two dog walks today.  Got 400 pounds of coal in the back of the van and some food from the coop.  Coffee was good.  Reading Philip Glass' memoir: "Words without Music"  Really love his music - turns out he is a really good storyteller and has lived quite the interesting life.  He learned Tibetan to study Buddhism.

To those who complain about his music, saying that: "the needle is stuck" - these people simply are not listening.  There is a lot of stuff happening in the so-called repetitions. Cycles building on cycles - 2, 3, 5, 7 times around.  Shades of early Ornette Coleman. Not always the easiest of rides but challenging and you come through it with a feeling of exhileration.  I feel the same way playing a good Bach fugue on the keyboard. So much stuff to keep track off - going off in different directions and then, in a page and a half, it all resolves into this celestial confection.  Glorious.

Time to do some laundry, putter around the house and start the soup cooking for dinner.
