A super-delicious week of reveling in the details of it all! Here are the playlists for the week, plus a few videos that I promised and the Mary Oliver poem we used and one little tidbit that totally had me wagging my tail…
Thanks for making much of something small. There is magic in it.
As always, let me know how I can help more.
Love,
Susan
Five A.M. in the Pinewoods
I’d seen
their hoofprints in the deep
needles and knew
they ended the long night
under the pines, walking
like two mute
and beautiful women toward
the deeper woods, so I
got up in the dark and
went there. They came
slowly down the hill
and looked at me sitting under
the blue trees, shyly
they stepped
closer and stared
from under their thick lashes and even
nibbled some damp
tassels of weeds. This
is not a poem about a dream,
though it could be.
This is a poem about the world
that is ours, or could be.
Finally
one of them — I swear it! —
would have come to my arms.
But the other
stamped sharp hoof in the
pine needles like
the tap of sanity,
and they went off together through
the trees. When I woke
I was alone,
I was thinking:
so this is how you swim inward,
so this is how you flow outward,
so this is how you pray.
~ Mary Oliver (from House of Light)
- KT Tunstall’s Black Horse and the Cherry Tree – she plays this whole song all by herself!
- And a the Oh-so-early-90s video of Michael Jackson’s Black or White complete with appearances by Macaulay Culkin (at 11-years-old), Tess Harper, and George Wendt, Jackson dancing with all manner of people from around the world and then my favorite part, faces changing into each other with the use of early morphing technology. Love it.
- And this. Well, it just made my afternoon a little happier than it would have been otherwise.
