On occasion, I have been fortunate enough to be standing by when Music flew by. And, on occasion, when what-is-behind-Music accompanied it.

No arguments can be presented to convince doubters, and a healthy skepticism is both recommended & encouraged to anyone reading these words. The argument, to be convincing, depends upon personally experiencing this quality of reality which never goes away. Even in the darkest hours of life it is present, although our awareness of it may not be. The key point for us is: how do we remain present to what is Real?

The Guitar Circle presents an opportunity to visit the world where Music is both real and available; taste this for ourselves; develop a practice and discipline where we are better able to receive what is on offer, and better able to respond to what it asks of us.

The posting from a Team member in Seattle (yesterday’s diary) refers to the experiencing available to members of a group at a certain level of experience & reliable functioning: we are each and every one of us the same person. I am you and you are me. At this point something becomes possible, and it is remarkable.

But, once again, these are only fine words. Proof is in the direct experiencing and validation by those who have been there before, to protect against fantasy & imagination. Writing here, I can only present myself as witness.

So, please engage skepticism with goodwill; but then, proceed.

19.47    At 11.30 an emergency call from the Minx: a problem in the family. Returning mid-afternoon from dealing with this, to e-fury & continuing catch-up.

What of The Writing Project? What indeed. It is as if life conspires to thwart what I wish to achieve in my remaining years.

The Minx will shortly return from family arisings.

20.45    We are now both dribbling, and WillyFred is not. It is playtime for this Prince of Rabbits.
