dear am, we spoke today of many things and as the sun sets in the east it remains so bright here on the west side of town! thank you for this post, the photograph of the place we left helps me orient better to the place we now are. (only you will understand, and Oboe!) i love Jakob's voice. Have you drawn a picture today?
Yum-Yum -- Thanks for your comment and your ongoing encouragement. I love Jakob's voice, too. Have you drawn a picture today?
robin andrea -- Keeping you and roger in my thoughts. Sending some Pacific Northwest beauty and serenity your way.
Solitary Walker -- Yes and no to your question. He's older now than his Nashville Skyline era dad but carries the same joy and vitality that his dad carried in the years when the "children were babies and played on the beach" and Sara was "always so close and still within reach." Jakob is the same age his father was in 1981, the Shot of Love era.
I stop and listen when Jakob sings. With gratitude.
gleaner -- That's so true. Jakob does have something of Bruce Springsteen in his voice. I can hear Van Morrison and Paul Simon, too. Almost as if they are singing along with him. His voice is distinctly different from his father's voice. Jakob has the courage to be himself, and that's a gift from his father and mother.
How can I be useful, of what service can I be? There is something inside me, what can it be? -- Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)
Welcome to "37TH DREAM (RUMORS OF PEACE)".
The photograph currently at the top of my blog was taken from my porch before sunrise on October 29, 2023.
"OLD GIRL OF THE NORTH COUNTRY" (the earliest name for my blog -- http://oldgirlfromthenorthcountry.blogspot.com
) came to life in early December of 2006 so that I could post a 42-year retrospective of my paintings and drawings and through that action, create a new relationship with the day the man I loved returned from Vietnam in December 1970. For a while (sometime after spring of 2008, which is when he died) my blog was "TALKING 37TH DREAM WITH RAINBOW (RUMORS OF PEACE)". For a number of years, it's been "TALKING 37TH DREAM (RUMORS OF PEACE)." As of April 12, 2017 my blog was titled "37TH DREAM / TALKING 37TH DREAM (RUMORS OF PEACE/LOOKING UP)". Somewhere along the way it became 37TH DREAM (RUMORS OF PEACE).
To begin viewing the retrospective with narrative, scroll down to December 8, 2006, on this page:
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant. -- Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)
All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. -- Martin Buber (1878-1965)
It is only a little planet, but how beautiful it is.
-- Robinson Jeffers
The true end of a war is the rebirth of life; the right to die peacefully in your own bed. The true end of war is the end of fear; the true end of war is the return of laughter.
-- Alfred Molano
Enjoy every sandwich -- Warren Zevon (1947-2003)
Not in God's wilds will you ever hear the sad moan, "All is vanity." No, we are paid a thousand times for all our toil, and after a single day spent outdoors in their atmosphere of strength and beauty, one could still say, should death come — even without any hope of another life — "Thank you for this most glorious gift!" and pass on.
-- John Muir (1838-1914)
Philip Henslowe: Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster. Hugh Fennyman: So what do we do? Philip Henslowe: Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well. Hugh Fennyman: How? Philip Henslowe: I don't know. It's a mystery.

Very beautiful and very serene there.
Lovely voice and song. Doesn't he look like his Nashville Skyline era dad?

Am, I've just listened to this...its wonderful! His voice sounds a little like Springsteen.
He's one handsome man too.

Thanks for stopping by, gleaner!
