Sky Song

My most recent piece of art has been a long time coming. It began a couple of years ago. But it wasn't finished. I added something. That was a move in the right direction. Still not right.

Until I wrote my most recent song, “Can we be Wildflowers?” ( Spoiler alert; yes. ) The song features barn swallows, probably my favorite bird. I love that they travel far, and make it all the way up to Prince Rupert, BC. They swoop, soar, and generally enjoy life. They revel in their capabilities.

So I wrote the song for a friend's birthday, as some of it references bits of his life, just a tiny slice of what it's like to bask in the presence of offspring. That richness, fullness of being that one experiences. Or as I put it in the song, “full enchilada joy!”

On top of all that, it's autumn; my favorite season. Sweaters, warm drinks, books, blankets and comfortable conversations.
