icy cliffs...

Iceland is Mary Chapin Carpenter's voice at its best.. the wonderful world of youtube makes it so you can listen here while you go about your day...there is a line in it about a stone that she carries like a charm in her pocket...

i saw a play in NY a while ago now.. The Rabbit Hole.. and in it a mother speaks to her daughter about loss - each generation has suffered the same loss.. the elder says that loss is like a yoke with boulders you wear around your neck and as the years go by the stones get chipped away until all that is left are pieces you can carry around with you in your pocket... they are always there - just not for everyone to see - but always with you... (now i have paraphrased a wonderful scene in a play so forgive me).. but the stone in the song is the same idea..

and you go on...

i started another project that since it is holiday related i cannot give any information on.. because i don't know if the recipient reads this spot.. but i will try to do a surreptitious photo or two and go from there.

i don't have a quote.. what??????????? nopey no i don't.. but will soon i am sure...
