Thank you.

I sang at 3 funerals in 2 weeks recently and realize how precious and tender those relationships were. The pain pierces an awareness that was described so well by this phrase: " There is a threshold over which we step and discover that not everything about the past still has the power to wound. Benign melancholy, bearable and casting an ochre-colored light over people and events, carries a warmth that doesn't deny loss but makes appreciation possible in spite of it."Kasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233330248952156754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-85694453241852250092012-01-09T10:07:50.256-08:002012-01-09T10:07:50.256-08:00Angella - Music being company enough, yes, it is c...Angella - Music being company enough, yes, it is capable of filling that space and leaving no sense that we are alone. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-82249165048731813542012-01-09T10:04:10.183-08:002012-01-09T10:04:10.183-08:00Kerry - Thank you.

At this moment, I am at work in the flower shop, it's a slow rainy day and guess who I've got on the cd player?!! Yup, Keith, the Koln Concerts. I first heard it as a Japanese pressing on an amazing sound system in high school art class and have loved it ever since.<br />Yes, who we come from, where we've been is a gentle weaving that begins to make up the portrait of who we are. Beautiful writing.

For those of us who remember real tinsel (and the hours of placing it on the tree) and its beauty - this sentence speaks volumes.
