Many have asked why Amy is SO HAPPY when she plays the viola...she says it's all about the quality time together. This needs to be replicated but with a viola instead of a cello:
So many happy music moments coming up in the next few weeks. So many happy family moments this past week. Today I was reminded too of how blissful it is to be a child--this morning my cat came over and started kneading on my stomach, so unrestrained and instinctive, so captivated by her actions that she was purring and drooling. She is a mother, and yet still does her beautiful baby-like things. How blissful it is to be naive, to face the world with freshness and curiosity! To let one's worries subside and passions blossom! To simply exist, and relish the experience! Having a cat is wonderful in so many ways...
