The Wandering Mind [1-Minute Wednesday #8]
My 1-Minute Wednesday series pairs a brief piece of music with a piece of thought-provoking text. THE WANDERING MIND Creative energy lights from a restless mind. At the slightest provocation, our minds take joyous flight. We crash into ideas like electrons, spontaneously reactive, connecting everything and nothing. The nearly-random flitting of neurons produces beautifully true expressions, art, love, life. But reconciling this inner nature with the demands of society is the

Winter [1-Minute Wednesday #5]
My 1-Minute Wednesday series pairs a brief piece of music with a piece of thought-provoking text. WINTER Snow fills even anxious city streets with winter’s quiet. A cold solemnity settles the spirit.We must all face winters that we would rather avoid. Times of rest when we are restless. Times of darkness with little light. Times of sorrow and little hope. Forced to seek shelter, we rail against winter. But this season is a necessary contrast to summer; the light needs darknes
