I am trying to imagine the sounds echoing through the mountain side, Barb. Must have been lovely to hear and of course see as well.

It's so good when we stop to listen to music instead of too quickly rushing by...

What a gift - nature, youth and music all together. Love your inclusion of the river's song in with the strings and bass. :-)

Inspiration from Others

We either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount of work is the same. - Carlos Castenada, mystic and author (1925-1998)

Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission. - Eleanor Roosevelt, diplomat, author, and lecturer (1884-1962)

Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big,  worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's  the grain of sand in your shoe. - Robert Service, writer (1874-1958)

People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering. - Saint Augustine (354-430)

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words. -- Unknown

Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste they hurry past it.
- Soren Kierkegaard, philosopher (1813-1855)

A painting is never finished - it simply stops in interesting places. - Paul Gardner, painter

To see a world in a grain of sand, / And a heaven in a wild flower, / Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, / And eternity in an hour.
- William Blake, poet, engraver, and painter (1757-1827)

Those who wish to sing always find a song. - Swedish proverb

This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere: the dew is never all dried at once: a shower is forever falling, vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.
- John Muir, naturalist, explorer, and writer (1838-1914)

Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart and his friends can only read the title.

- Virginia Woolf, writer (1882-1941)

Simply give others a bit of yourself:
a thoughtful act,
a helpful idea,
a word of appreciation,
a lift over a rough spot,
a sense of understanding,
a timely suggestion.
You take something out of your mind,
garnished in kindness out of your heart,
and put it into the other person's mind and heart.
- Charles H. Burr
