Beginnings And Endings

Things we know are ending. But things are just beginning.

You should've been there.

lyrics:

Rings Of Smoke a smoke ring drifts across the water the light of the day is fading away the sky is dark blue and i'm here with you a smoke ring drifts across the water tendrils of smoke spinning around themselves reflections on the water spinning stories together reflections of the day seen through our eyes the rings hold us forever spinning our lives the ring of smoke turns itself inside out watch the rings and as the day ends we're settling back here with our friends (hey Don! do another one!) it seems we're always asking always asking why time spins out like a ring out to the sky a smoke ring drifts across the water tendrils of smoke spinning around themselves reflections on the water spinning stories together the rings of smoke they spin out they spin... out (c) 2007 Bill Grundmann

What being unstuck in time might possibly be like...

Some backwards stuff, some random stuff.

Waiting For Harry

Based on this poem. Here are some thoughts on the music and poem.

lyrics:

Entropy (Box After Box) the problem basically is that i don't want to do this the dank basement is full of box after box of deteriorating memories i haven't the heart for execution to dispose of someone else's treasures likely in there i am somewhere in those boxes so in a way i am erasing a bit of myself ~ ~ ~ in the darkest corner of the basement is a small separate room and in that room through a dilapidated door is a closet and in that disconnected closet a hidden door lies without a thought i am again opening that surreptitious door ~ ~ ~ the passage is always difficult deeper it leads down crisp echoes my shuffling groping towards a distant glow eventually i emerge in the verdant glen there is the sound of gently murmuring water sun softly dappling the moss silken light pervading this wordless room now i can hear a young couple giggling ~ ~ ~ nothing is written on the back no date no place no name another unknown photograph another unrecalled memory another ungrasped moment i feel unauthorized to contemplate these things box after box yet in a way i am forgetting a bit of myself (c)2005 Bill Grundmann

This all started from a recording of our grandson doing a little concert for us... Here's the original recording (15 seconds).
