or art is very difficult.
Life with you is easy

“What is a musical instrument? A musical instrument is like a Spanish fan or a piston — it’s all the same. It’s a surface which comes and goes, striking the air with a frequency somewhere between 16 and 18,000 oscillations per second.”

as a lacy tapestry
so just keep on flowing

with flaws in every season
flutter like a butterfly

Nothing beats a cold pitcher of fresh squeezed lemonade on a hot summer’s day.

Life is full of zig zags
Life may throw us some lemons
but lemonade makes for sweet living!

“If life gives you lemons, don’t settle for simply making lemonade – make a glorious scene at a lemonade stand.” –Elizabeth Gilbert
