No real illness at the moment, nor hardship nor mental woe ( The mind has mountains, of course. ) .
For 2016 not too many expression-marks or hyphens or trusting or mistrusting. How achieve “serenita’ ” without becoming callous ?
The little chapters for new Piano Trio must in their brevity each burst with expectancy, be each a “state of mind ” ; to connect them
won’t be the problem. My Scale binds them..
Colour galore ; explore the keboard but avoid a tired solution. Courage.
Slip-stream still mirrors “serenit’a ” , all our court Stoics and Epicureans. A tall order.
We sneak with stealth towards December 31….
“He who is not a bollix had better be clever”. Be not quick to anger. Watch the hare set, the hare-lip, the bigger picture . Waste not, want not tones. Accept small talk, small movements, small mercies and small parcels and the evenings getting longer. See through charlatans
Yearnings for a House of Stillness can still tempt, my odd Silence Theorem which claims : 1. All silences are equal, equally silent, equally conducive to composing that New And Last Piano TRIO. 2. Even a Benedictine colouring ( praiseworthy, certainly ) should not interfere with composing or cerebral energy, visionary leps in all the parameters, the solving of order versus chaos, courage, go out into deeper water. Alas, poor trumpet, fear interruptions or choleric outbursts against harmless , social do-goodery.
Sharpen de pen ?
