gratitude, gorgeously given

I had chosen this quote to share the next time I got to a computer and serendipitously, a voice student gave me these lovely roses on Sunday.  A fabulous reminder to remain aware of the future/past/present continuum.

Happy Solstice.  12 weeks until Autumn...



"Mr. Ailey told us that you must always turn around and look to see who is behind you so that you can help them.

Meaning--remember that there was someone who looked behind them and grabbed your hand and helped you.  So we put our feet on the ground and come to understand who we are as human beings, and then

we must turn around and help the next person.  We're all part of one big circle--we must constantly look toward the future, pay homage to the past, but respect the present and live in it."

  2. You just need to keep on moving until you end up somewhere like Scotland, which is cold enough to keep you happy. You're already talking about Autumn, when we haven't even made it into Spring, really.
