After Bach
By Wm. BRONK
In cello suites we learn the way despair, deepest sadness, can and must be phrased as praise, thanksgiving. Of course we knew this anyway but mightn't have dared it on
our own.
And the way the sadness can be in part
to accept the absence of One to say it to.

The view from the wings isn't mere illusion. Every show is shiny and new. It's magic. I wish this for each one of you this holiday season.

Even though I've retired from performing, I can't help but recall decades of celebrating the season by playing the Sugar Plum Fairy solo from the orchestra pit. Here's a photo of my personal score. I've led a charmed life! I feel gratitude every day.

I recently noticed that when my pup Zoe and I are cuddling, she sniffs my face three times in succession, over and over. I tried it with her, and now I feel like we understand each other on a whole new level.
