Year of the Horse.
last night, I was watching a local tv program that highlights the arts. It's on KVIE and airs Saturday night, 7PM. Has a ton of really good stuff and is hosted by the same guy, Rob on the Road. Here's the link http://www.kvie.org/programs/arts_entertainment/default.htm
One of the segments in the program features Olympia Dukakis, reprising her role in a theater production of Mother Courage. During the interview...at the end of the interview she quotes a poet. (forgive me but what I heard was Locker, Lokker, Lacher???! so in search of this lovely passage, replaying the clip and googling it word for word, found it! The Spanish poet, Frederico Garcia Lorca, wrote:
...the
poem, the song, the picture are drawn from the well of the people(s) and should
be given back to them in a cup of beauty so that they shall know themselves.
This seems a good underpinning. My uncle said that there are a couple ways to take a walk. Some people walk the same way every day observing and interested in what has changed on that walk. Some people take a different route to see new things than they had the day before. Often for me, it's good to have a purpose, an endpoint or a circuit then I relax along the way. Working is often like that.
