Imagine

Last night as I was sleeping

I dreamt – marvelous error! –

that I had a beehive

here inside my heart.

And the golden bees

were making white combs

and sweet honey

from my old failures.

– Antonio Machado

A dream is a goal that you both believe you can accomplish if you work hard enough, and feel in your deepest self that you truly need and must have.

ONE MORE TIME!

No, I will not be sharing my rendition of an Irish shanty song, no no. I'm talking about the 6+" of glorious, newly fallen powder we had at Willamette Pass the Sunday before last. It was April, for Pete's sake, but it was incredible.

I worked yesterday, but have next Sunday off, soooo... Here's wishing it might not be too nice of weather next weekend. I'd love one more chance in the deep stuff before it's really truly springtime.

Happy Easter 2008

I feel blessed to have a loving family to spend my Easter holiday with today. We gathered in Salem -- me, Leo, my sister, brother, their partners, my niece, and parents. We shared a delicious meal. We visited and played showed off new toys (my new iPod, my Dad's new iMac). We talked about life and family and art and being together. I played a little recital of an adagio from a Handel sonata and a couple of church hymns appropriate for the day.

Happy Easter, everyone.
