Our word for today is “music.” Well, it’s been our word for a few days now and I just haven’t set aside the time to write a post. Nor have I set aside time to do a number of tasks related to The Artists’ Way, the 12-week course I’m working on. So I decided to do as much as I could to-day!!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

My Artist’s “date” was to listen to some music outdoors, so I put on my odometer, found some Mozart on YouTube and set out to walk through the cemetery listening to “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik – a little night music at 8:30AM- The story of my life!!<\/p>\n

I walked for 6.70kms live streaming these incredible symphonies until my phone died. Although, I had set out with 72% charged, all those violins must have taken a lot of energy and the French Horns – well, what can I say, they were a blast!!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

I did have some creative thoughts though. Just before I left, Brainpickings reminded me that it is Leonard Cohen’s birthday today, so I could think of his thoughts on creativity, my favourite being – “There’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” I actually belong to a group on Ravelry, dedicated to those knitters, who also love Leonard Cohen – we’re a small select group.<\/p>\n

I do like walking through Mt. Pleasant cemetery. It’s also an arboretum, with gorgeous old trees. William Lyon MacKenzie King is buried there, as are a number of other dignitaries. I, invariably pass headstones I’ve seen before, they’re like old friends. It’s hard to find a quiet place in the city. Even the places that were once quiet are getting noisier, busier. I think I have to do my walk on a weekday, rather than a Saturday and I think I’ll try another composer. Mozart is actually quite raucous!!<\/p>\n

The pictures? Light, music and cemeteries.<\/p>\n

Have a thoughtful day!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
