Please forgive me for I am running on empty, as I imagine so many of us are these days. I have been listening to some of the earliest mixes I began offering here and this one, the third one, has really captured my heart this week. I share it with you in hopes that it will inspire your poetic heart to stay close at all times to beauty and to love. In every single moment, choose love. You won’t always succeed, just as I don’t always succeed, but it’s the true north to which all our compasses should be pointing. It’s a kind of striving for the perfection of character. It’s the trying and trying again (and again, and again) that counts. Music, beauty, poetry, dancing, these are our allies in the quest for love.
