Inside Phoenix, & Me

Rain. A winter-Williamsburg sky, like raw pewter being hammered, and with scraps of lint from the artisan's polishing cloth scattered thru. Misty, like my thoughts. And strange, alien shapes, pods of unopened growth, scratching the horizon, obscuring the view, but there. There. Coming along slowly. Maybe the rain, watering them, will finally open them, revealing me to me.

Hello friend! Sending hugs across the miles. You asked about "Big My Secret". It is by Michael Nyman http://www.michaelnyman.com/ for the movie, "The Piano". The other one I absolutely love is "The Sacrifice". There's a beautiful montage of the movie with this music on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Su8LXNS16A&feature=related

I played the piano for 17 years, starting at the age of 3. Long story short, it has never stopped hurting that I chose to quit because of some very painful circumstances. I'll play again someday. My boys hear me play every once in awhile. Maybe you will to someday! :)
