Reading #PoemsAloud from a 16th-century mystic, translated by @danadelibovi.bsky.social in her book, Sweet Hunter: The Complete Poems of St. Teresa of Ávila ❤️‍🩹

Beyond its Catholic context, this poem is an artifact of its time. Audio ends w/ lines from her most famous poem, 'Let Nothing Disturb You'🪶

My 4 days of guiding have come to an end but what great company and birds. Both Sandgrouse species seen as well as 14 species of raptor including Spanish Eagle and 5 Golden Eagles on our last day. These are Pin-tailed Sandgrouse near Pinoso. #birds #birdphotography #birding #Alicante

"Inspired by growing older in a world that increasingly overlooks those of us who have so much to offer."

I feel it across many areas of my life. Listen to this one...

A gloomy morning, except for the wren: the dull mechanical songs of the quarry, the low cloud ceiling, the cold breath of autumn making leaves tremble on their stems.

Reading the latest headline from Austin. 💔

I lived there briefly and it was a wonderfully progressive city. That was a long time ago.

I write all day for work so have trouble finding energy for other writing projects, but I can't shake the calling to work on a longer, sustained project. Just so afraid to dig into it for fear I'll lose touch w/ my already tenuous connection to social media. Grateful for those I've come to know here

This beautiful poetry collection! Full of the music of earth & sea, loved ones gone too soon, & the parts of ourselves we've lost along the way... the search for community in generations past, & a global call for justice.

I loved this collection, Carmella. So many outstanding poems to choose from, but of course the coastal one spoke to me w/ this photo. Poems about your mother's violin, grandmother's garden, & twilight in the square were especially resonant for me (& will stay with me long after this first reading).💙

Human-made climate change is here. Everyone knows it in their bones, even if they can’t wrap their minds around it. It’s clear the egregious offender, the USA, will do nothing. The only hope for a reduction in US carbon emissions is a complete collapse of the US economy—itself an awful prospect.

So, Youtube got me w/ its 432 Hz videos & now I'm hooked (& mellow 😴), esp if there's a lawnmower outside, like now.

Googling how it differs from 440 Hz standard tuning, I found this page in The Oxford Companion to Music posted elsewhere. It says 432 Hz *was* used/preferred by some in the past. 🎼
Page excerpt: ...been taught a number of scraps of themes from Beethoven and found that it always whistled each tune at approximately its proper pitch outino a riot of pieces rom the fun, or atat sorts of pitches. (See Bird Music.) Sir Herbert Oakeley, Professor of Music at Edinburgh University, possessed the sense of absolute pitch. On the respectable testimony of a bishop, the following may be quoted: When he was staying with us at High Wych the pig squeaked. He at once cried "G sharp" Some one ran to the piano-and G sharp it was.' (There are, however, probably thousands of living musicians who could emulate this feat.) Broadwood's pianos, in Oakeley's childhood, were tuned to A = 432; 'He used to say that his ear retained that pitch throughout life, and that compositions early known to him always sounded unlike themselves when rendered at the higher pitch used in England from 1840 to 1890.' This last statement illustrates the occasional disadvantage of what is otherwise a very desirable possession. A vocalist endowed with the sense of absolute pitch can obviously read at first sight any music whatever, with complete accuracy as to pitch-provided that the pitch of the instrument to which he is to sing it is the one to which he is accustomed; otherwise (unless he possesses a power of adjustment, which many do not) he has consciously to transpose every note he sings.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron fishes at dusk at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, a weathered log stretches across the pond from right to left. At its far end, a heron bends forward, intent on the water below as it hunts. The scene is almost perfectly mirrored on the pond’s surface, reflecting both the bird and the angled branch. Soft, cotton-candy clouds and the deepening blue of the twilight sky ripple gently in the water. Near the midpoint of the branch, a strand of fishing line or netting is caught, trailing beneath the surface. It’s a striking, contemplative scene—capturing both the quiet beauty of nature and the subtle traces of a more chaotic world.
