Exploring writing a love ballad birthday poem that might get to "loving bliss," eventually with music ...
Sung to the Grateful Deads's Peggy-O to start ... for its meter ... but this poem has assumed a more open exploratory form ... and still exploring this ...
Demeter-Ma
Loved to travel home and connect with ma mère
over this past Christmas and New Year,
to share.
So nice to be together in Pennsylvania state
Thanks for your nurture, love and care -
'tis really great!
Taking off for California, and leaving ma mère,
and our communicating changes back to "distance patterns," -
not so great!
Ma mère and I connect with the oneness of being together ...
by ... of understanding
Kindness, care & love in proximity
and thoughtful communication,
Let's try, ma mère, a regular video conference per time from afar.
And I hope you can get back to sleep a little this morn,
after the car,
and your kind airport ride - thanky! And Happy New Year!
Connecting with harmony, nurturing with love -
which takes a good ear.
Yea, Eliot, I went east - sometimes I'm really way over in India -
for the holidays. But Penna and my
mother were great ...
Am grateful for the love of, and for, ma mère - great pairbondage.
Ma, thanks for your nurturance and connecting,
a kind of magic wand.
Pairbondage, John Money's word here ... and via this idea,
would love too to explore even marrying Artemis ...
for
Connecting, harmonizing, nurturing and sharing a way
Thanks for your nurturance and connecting,
day after day.
Baby steps is this regard ... A birth date with Artemis? Dear Meg
Happy Holidays! I just returned from Pittsburgh yesterday
(where I think you have some roots too), and came back to the SF Bay Area
Connecting, harmonizing, nurturing and sharing a way.
Christmas with my mother was great
but unfortunately my brother wasn't there, yet I'm glad
he was with his girlfriend who works in Thailand
but is based in Maine, and has a place 3 blocks from him in Portland.
Looking forward to music-making in the New Year
(on Monday evenings, playing kind of second piano -
mostly bass lines with thirds presently - to the main piano player who is great :),
and often with around 10 other musicians) for Scottish Country Dancers
in Berkeley in a beautiful Episcopal Church hall near the Claremont,
as well as on the Scottish small pipes with this open band, and in other ways as well.
Connecting, harmonizing, nurturing and sharing a way
Greetings to your folks. How were your Christmas and holidays?
Did you travel anywhere interesting like to India
(which I think we both visited last year at about this time, Artemis -
here's the India label in my blog -

What did you like about India, Demeter and Artemis?
I sing about connecting ... pairbondage, love and care,
of birthdays and nurturing and growing loving bliss,
Connecting, harmonizing, nurturing and sharing a way ...
