here's to a season of new creativity, ideas, and partnerships----
sunshine for lucy may turn into an actual group of individuals making music together, but for now it is a personal movement, inspired by a breakfast order from a few days ago. I picked up the egg sandwich on a multigrain everything bagel (you read that correctly--- multigrain AND everything) and went back to the barista side of the cafe to await my latte. An older woman ambled by, checked me out, and said, "oh you're the lucy? 'sunrise for lucy' would make a great band name."
the beauty of the tiny everyday normal ways we change the lives of those around us.
as some of you, dear readers, may know, it took me a full 20 years to decide that my favorite color was green. i take a very, very long time with these kinds of things because i love so many things so dearly. i used to think this was a problem, that in order to know who I am, I should make clear decisions about everything so I could fill out the multiple choice questionnaire one day on demand.
But I've learned now, with the help of many named and unnamed teachers, friends, and mentors, that I am made up of many things, and that is what makes me me. I finally embracing this truth.
The lady in the coffeeshop has no idea that her comment was a wonderful gift to me. I have been given a name I have been searching for all my life, and now I am going to write under it and see what adventures come.
So this little blog will be a collecting point for any and all of my current creative endeavors.
Expect to see my audition tape for Yale.
Expect to see the working steps toward a collaborative and semi-improvisational song cycle settings of Mary Oliver poems.
Expect to see a prayer shawl all the colors and textures of the rainbow.
There will be many, many things. I am looking forward to sharing them, all.
