A word about music. I would be completely adrift without it. This morning, Edward Aldwell playing J.S. Bach, The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II. Calming, complex, deep, energizing all at once. Like a good, strong cup of aromatic coffee with sugar and heavy cream. Or a big blue/black cow in a soggy Spring Sonoma field surrounded by bright yellow mustard.

Yesterday when Rosie and I returned from our morning walk, there at my door was a ceramic cup holding a polka dot paper heart that said:

I've left the cup on the counter, a constant reminder of the power of little gestures of love and caring that cancel out all the world's ugliness in one fell swoop.
