Gratitude List:
1.  Rising Appalachia.  Great music.  And then the whole train of music that listening to them on Youtube brought me into: MaMuse, Nahko Bear, Estas Tonne, The Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir.
2.  Singing.  Working out really difficult music in a small group of singers, singing in large groups, four-part harmony, old hymns.
3.  I think the goldfinches at my parents’ house are yellower than anything I have ever seen.  They make the goldfinches of Goldfinch Farm look green by comparison.  They take that shining gold of the sun and they raise it another sparkle.
4.  This quotation:  “Beauty appears when something is completely and absolutely and openly itself.”   ~~Deena Metzger, “Entering the Ghost River”
5.  New ideas.

May we walk in beauty.
