Tuesday is for gratitude. When the week feels too long ahead, I need to check in with myself to let it all sink in. Though the skies are still grey, the earth is warming. Can you smell the soil? The blossoms? A double rainbow last night reminded those lucky to be outside that it pays to make yourself vulnerable to the natural elements. There we can be closer to our truer selves. Maybe.
Some new old tracks from Western students, Emma Toscani and Taylor Hall from way back in winter 22, Art 280, along with favorites by Aiko Enomoto and Gabe R., and more! Plus something great from the profound Hildegard Westerkamp, and some newer tunes from Madeline Cocolas. Just ethereal, dark and throbbing. Like spring in the PNW. How lucky we are to have this privilege to gather and listen. In gratitude, Sasha P.
