Oh wow, this is the missive I needed. Too many great insights to pick just one. But this is what I've needed, here at the beginning of "the year." Merry Orthodox Christmas to those who follow the Julian calendar. And yes to the Descent of Alette, and yes to getting well soon.
I’m glad you’re back Wendy, or rather I’m glad your words have returned ‘here’. I assumed you were busy making music in an ever expanding universe of collaborations. And yes, I did miss you. Always like to hear your musings being a bit of a muser myself.
Hope you’re feeling better now.
Looking forward to future transmissions. Shine on.
Read this as part of a fitful night of non-sleep. Turned out to be a pretty accurate reflection of my state of mind. It felt good to feel some psychological kinship with another soul, even if the prior connection was only as guitarist-listener. I laughed when I came to your last point, about being excited, proud even, to have "discovered" a new - for me - creative project (your writing); immediately putting my mental list together of people with whom I would share it (sadly, more as an indication of the dirth of my connections to deep-thinking humans than as a measure of the quality and importance of your words, it was a too-short list) when I felt "outed" (playfully) by your insight into our motivations of wanting to insert ourselves into the space that this material (your writing) created, thus bolstering my personal connection to Things That Matter. But I'd like to believe that these connections really do matter. Before this, it was only your music, your guitar playing, that offered me a connection to something else that matters; now I have your words too. I wish - hope even - that someday we (all well-intentioned souls on this planet) can create a web of etheric connection, so that we might feel collectively reassured that we, and those intentions, do matter.
Feel better Wendy. If I'm being honest didn't realize until reading this that I missed you, but turns out I did. Even if you don't ace the once-a-week goal, please continue to put your thoughts out there.
missed you dearly
And I u sweets
So many gorgeous, brilliant lines here. The one about the owl (“made everyone’s music feel as important as it is”) got me. Thank you for sharing
I send one small nibble like a rat trying to get to you through the wires
