The Writer's Block

On Eugene Ormandy's Retirement

Bach's musical macrame'

Of silken threads

Is re-created by

The nimble fingers of
Senor Pablo Casals
Who plays along with
His friend
And interpreter,                                                       
Eugene Ormandy,
A gentleman of the
Intellectual design of Johann.

With bows and strings and fingers
Of musical craftsmanship
Into the superhuman -
Perhaps sublime
Artistry (meaning
Skill and feeling
Of the aforementioned)
Senor Casals.

And though
We can not
Create such music
With its emotions,
We understand what we have heard:
A true meaningful expression
Of our very human
        and we hope
               meaningful
Existence.

Can You Feature That? Word Paintings from January 2012

Emilie Kestner recuperating after an appendectomy on Jan. 9, glad that she was not at college when it happened....  Hannah Harvey learning to scoot on her very pink scooter....  Jean Fieg being blown away by the fact that the photos ordered on-line by daughter Judy Kestner in Corpus Christi, Texas could be picked up at Walgreen's in Greensboro, N.C. just a few hours later....  Anne Roman creating the dreamy flyer for the Fieg Family Reunion to be held in August, 2012.... Greg Fieg searching for the power cord to his computer notebook and thinking he probably left it in in a cafe Timbuktoo....  Facebook friends of Kathy Clancy enjoying spectacular photos of the trip she and hubby Brian took to the Grand Canyon this month....
