My friend Sylvie Calvert has compiled beautiful photos of Provence in France to Beethoven's 6th Symphony, "Pastoral."
We had two brilliant sunny days here in Michigan and I thought of Spring! Click here for a beautiful slide show.
(Merci beaucoup Sylvie, mon ami. Belles photos! La musique de Beethoven est tre belle comme toujours.)

Being Inspired by Others
"Then let us all do what is right, strive with all our might toward the unattainable, develop as fully as we can the gifts God has given us, and never stop learning."

Being Joyful II
'Tis so much joy! 'Tis so much joy!
If I should fail, what poverty!
And yet, as poor as I,
Have ventured all upon a throw!
Have gained! Yes! Hesitated so —
This side the Victory!
Life is but Life! And Death, but Death!
Bliss is but Bliss, and Breath but Breath!
And if indeed I fail,
At least, to know the worst, is sweet!
Defeat means nothing but Defeat,
No drearier, can befall!
And if I gain! Oh Gun at Sea!
Oh Bells, that in the Steeples be!
At first, repeat it slow!
For Heaven is a different thing,
Conjectured, and waked sudden in —
And might extinguish me!
--Emily Dickinson
Joy does not come without a struggle. In fact, joy often bursts forth in our struggle.

Being Confident
Chuck Berry is confident and brilliant:
"Roll over, Beethoven, and tell Tchaikovsky the news."
What news might that be? Chuck Berry rocks!
Having confidence is the first step of any successful venture.
