Bredonborough Music is a society

11.06

Bredonborough.

Music is a society of the imagination: the Good Society where truth prevails.

The movement of melody represents ordered, intentional & responsible conduct; harmony, moral order; rhythm, the intrinsic joy of being alive.

11.15    The Minx arrived home sometime in the night & is continue to slumber.

An unpleasant experiencing of my right big toe, while putting on socks, led to the discovery that WillyFred crapped on my right house-shoe.

On the street for the Minx’s Sunday dirt I…

… for watering & e-flurrying. In from a Team member in Seattle…

… a couple of experiences from recent TTA activity:

during full TTA team rehearsal on Saturday morning, 10/16, in an exercise with Frank, the Orchestrina arrived, at approximately 10:15 AM, and stayed through the completion of the "game".  An organically moving clump of bodies and sounds that just was the Orchestra.  The Presence was unmistakable.  One minute it wasn't there and the next minute it was.  Bill verified this for me by saying that he had the same observation.

on the prior Thursday after the TTA show, 10/14, there was a remarkable moment.  during the closing circle, after we had restored the space, Bill began a clapping circulation.  we went around the circle many times, maybe seven or so, and the clap was unstoppable.  that is, it seemed to have a life all its own and was moving through the group, much the way the whizz at Raft Island did when it achieved lift-off.  this was a complete surprise, as it seemed to occur completely of its own accord and without the benefit of viciousness or whizz speed.  i did sense a clear intention when the circulation was begun.  after we completed this, the silence in the room was absolute.

21.05    Local pals, who used to live the Market Square & have recently moved to the next village out of town, visited for supper. Lotsa fun. They have now cycled away, wobbling gently, and WillyFred is waiting to play.
