In the Spring We Eat Cucumbers

We must have beginner's mind, free from possessing anything, a mind that knows everything is in flowing change. Nothing exists but momentarily in its present form and color. One thing flows into another and cannot be grasped. Before the rain stops we hear a bird. Even under the heavy snow we see snowdrops and some new growth. In the East I saw rhubarb already. In Japan in the spring we eat cucumbers. -Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind

Music is a continual state of becoming - Aaron Copeland

So far, so good this week. Class was fun, and brushing up on this theory stuff is only going to be good medicine. Plus, I have designs (hee hee) on putting up a theory site, basically, just a way to solidify the studies for myself. How nerdy am I?

Rehearsal today with R, harp, cello, etc, and we’ll be open to Gabby Faure visiting.
