Allegretto ~ Tempo of The Morning Body.

When still awake at 3 am, the body's tempo begins a little short come morn...this morning was a tad slower than usual, but still filled with exuberance. I was moderately fast but less so than allegro, so it had to be allegretto! My wakeup call was Schubert Schubert Quintet in C, D 956 - 4. Allegretto - enjoy!

Sunday In The Woods

It was an overcast day and I went out purposely to take some 'gloomy' shots, but all that changed. The sun broke through and it turned from cold to humidy warm...not what I was prepared for. Then once again, the sky filled with clouds, rain began to spit and cool temps descended. The weather didn't know what to do, much like how my spirit's been feeling these past few days.

I managed to shoot some photos regardless of the changing conditions. I was afforded a good chunk of quality time to read some Thoreau too_____outside, which is always a nice feeling.

Night set in quickly. Darkness arrived. I knew it was time to leave.

Music Connect

Guelph is filled with so many talented artists - painters, sculptors, musicians, dancers, film makers, playwrights, jazz artists, poets....the list goes on. It's lovely living in a city rich in culture and because the city is small everyone seems to know each other which adds to the warmth of attending the different venues.

One of our famous talents is Jeff Bird, a local musician who has been associated with the "Cowboy Junkies" for over 18 years and is part of music history in the city. Hearing him play many times, he just gets better!

Trinity Revisited is an album and a film by Cowboy Junkies, released on October 16, 2007 - a 20th anniversary edition of their most famous album, The Trinity Session. The new album was recorded in the fall of 2006 at Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity. Guest musicians on the album include Natalie Merchant, Ryan Adams and Vic Chesnutt, as well as Jeff Bird, - a session musician who has appeared on virtually every Cowboy Junkies album. Visit and listen to more of Jeff's music at MySpace.

Jeff is seen playing the violin, mondolin and guitar.

Turn To The Arts

Piano ~ Pilates ~ Meditation ~ Guitar

Indubitably, nothing is declared more clearly than through art, through music, through listening, creating or composing. A creative spirit can always find their way home to their emotions when they return to the rhythmic beat of their heart and is thus able to recreate those emotions on keyboard, on canvas or by the gentle stroke of strings....it is a feeling that transcends all joy, all pain. Be mindful of your feelings, listen with your heart and love with your soul.

Bow To You

Whatever challenged you today may be a light in the dark one day.

Hope lives in the darkest of places and love always shows it's light. There is a divine spark within each of us located in the heart chakra....

Namaste!
