Awoke to the tracings of words from the fleeting dreams, and the fine sound of Autumn first thrumming rain on the roof.The rain came to bless my usual waking in the predawn hours, I lift from the movies on my eyelids to the veiled darkness…oh, the moon is gone and the sun still just considering this days jaunt across this sky, .Pinpoints of red lights like vampire fireflies…the vcr, the microwave and the tv-the answering machine and the battery charger. Going to the kitchen window,in the valley below the nearby town is as flat and asparkle as an inland lake, cupped by the steeply rising golden rumpled hills, hummocks of oaks nestled in the crevices. In the still dark, i came out to my studio, lights still low so as to not too quickly awaken the birds.The computer fires up and i sit down in this calm and reflective mood, let fall like tender petals the words to describe the naming the little beings of glass forged in my flame.Speaking to myself, speaking to you, i tapped out a lengthy lyric missive, describing the evolution of a dolphin graced boro wave pendant, and how the name calls itself out. About the difference in listening for the names of the rounded bead sets…how they must call their family of beads together into a set before their name is sung in full.New here, i noticed the word counter, and saw that some 400 words had arrived to be heard…and they rang clear and clean as a bell , even as the first petal of mornings sun entered and illuminated with golden light this small festive room. I sighed, a day well begun, hit the wrong button… and it was all gone ! Aha ! i laugh, this has happened before, a story not ready to reveal itself. No time for disgruntle, the words are still here. The day goes on, to the chattering of the birds and the hopeful intonations of the parrots. I will come back later to my Aerie, and hope that they will come back to whisper in my ear…everyone wants their name to be heard, and also their song. I will be back . I shant be long.The torch is now calling to hear its own song. ~ Aha~
