i spy- no no, i love-

wee paper puppy, born this spring.

i recently broke down and converted to so called 'smart' phone. all it has done for me yet is to prove how smart 'it' is and how much i may start to depend on it...so far i only have installed a few things and am staying away from social networks and games.  the email access and free tools- metronome, tuners, GPS trackers (a great fun while on the bicycle for commute) are funtastic.  but the best thing so far is-

fxcamera.

it's been out for awhile and i have been seeing it on other people's photos.  a few pre-sets and a portable camera. and there we are. a way to capture fleeting images of all things of life..  and luckily there has been a couple beautiful images that i like. and a few silly ones.

i wonder what people do with these smart phones. i wonder if more people take picutres, like i do.  i wonder what things capture one another imaginations and what is kept and what would be deleted. what memories it would bring and how it may be- would it be like flipping albums, where you flash back into the history, or more like a perfume, where one can start to sense it from far away, the intensity changing ever so slightly as one approaches to the core point.

i am grateful that i get to see and find all kinds of beautiful things.  i am lucky. what have you seen today that is beautiful and took your breath away?  sending many thoughts and well wishes to your way, friends.

 wee rabbit being a darling. he wonders when i will come to bed and snooze with him.
 a small piano reconstruction shop. with an open invitation to...?
 and within 5 minutes, seriously, another invitation. 
HA HA
 im sure that the bench is out to lure new members.
i can only think: detention and punishment.
corner chair with the dunce hat.
 beautiful bird and a genius man = magic

canned cocktail wiener found in walter hall

Image
today, walter hall was hosting a special event for violists: heidi castleman masterclass. she teaches at juilliard and yes, i think it is quite exciting to play for a different teacher- you can take away so much with you, the inspiration, technical knowledge, a new emotional dimension, you name it. and i was confronted by a special person as well, just not as helpful, however impressive. walter hall is a busy place. and it's only a natural thing that students want to get in there to practice- it sounds good, it feels good and yes, there is shortage of space at busy times of the day in school. however, it is a performance hall and not a practice room, especially regarding the pianos. the piano technicians work very hard to keep the instruments to meet the heavy demands.  they come way before the students, to yield to the kiddies who want to practice. and yes, they do go home after a day's work.  and because many musical events take place in late evenings, it is important ...

the violence of spring

Image
spring returns brutishly below the beautiful petals transparent against the blue  is the strength that pushed through the frozen solid ground  with absolute conviction, it draws from the depth, pushes it up and up and up, little bulbs covered in papery brown skins turn into living fanfare despite all the concrete the bird songs echo off the glass menageries dead brown twigs surge with green blood  when the light hits just right everything alive is beautiful and bright flaunting victory over the days of hunched shoulders and white knuckles the absence hits with a deafening scream we are all back in the midst of this madness through it all, death carves out laser sharp edges of ones in eternal stillness where nothing changes gentle spring kind spring violent and unstoppable spring the light makes it possible to see the hollows where no shadow casts as it is empty i called mom and said that spring returned with a thundering conviction of repetition- we didnt say but we both ...

goodbye day

Image
i went to see her early today and one of the things i asked was: when i grow up, what kind of person would you like me to be? she said: of course, you are already good, but you could work hard to become super-famous pianist and be gentle-hearted. i said: you cant really be gentle-hearted and powerful at the same time (chuckle) she said: really? i see... i said: pick one! she said: then.... be the very best gentle-hearted person you can be. i was going to return tomorrow morning early at 8am, so i can get some work done later in the day. at 6pm, i put on mahler 9th and felt restless. so i decided to take a bath. while the water ran, i debated whether i should go back to see her then. out of a blue. a dense nudge in the heart. i did not. but i did search for 'how to give bath to seniors.' thought it would be nice to give her a bath, if possible- i bet she hasnt had one in awhile, and she used to love it. then around 8, mom called. the universe as i known it, shattered itself in a...
