Watching fingers dance

Written last night:

Dear Friends,

After Zumba, which always makes me dance and cry at the same time (Don’t worry — I’m in the back row.) I went to hear chamber music at noon. It was a piano, cello, violin trio of American favorites: Samuel Barber, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein. Thanks to my humble ukulele playing (if you can call it that!), I mostly watched the fingers of the violinist and cellist: how do they get so nimble? It’s that gift we call muscle memory, honed by practice and years of playing. 

Today I didn’t even try to draw at the concert.  But here’s a mandala I’ve been working on. I love its sky-blue and cloud-pink palette — more cheerful than our present smoky skies.

Love,
k
