Your daughter is beautiful, and obviously talented like her dad. I'm excited to hear about the Rilke blog as well--I know I'll learn from you since I have only dipped into his work on my own. Thanks for taking that on! Sounds wonderful!

May your new blog bring 'the melody of a thousand voices' to Rilke's 'one shared melody'.<br /><br />Coming to your blog, I always feel eager and open, like a child, for I know I will experience a unique artfulness that nourishes nascent visions and impulses within. Yes, "Art is childhood."<br /><br />Thank you.Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-78461247809352419382011-01-02T15:28:17.210+01:002011-01-02T15:28:17.210+01:00May the coming year be filled with riches of the h...May the coming year be filled with riches of the heart, embracing life.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-12935721450993223882011-01-02T10:59:00.792+01:002011-01-02T10:59:00.792+01:00Hola Lorenzo.

I feel I could fly again (that happens when I come here . . . feet lifting off like a Chagall sky floater).<br /><br />I truly love the quotations you chose from <i>The Poet’s Guide to Life</i> and I see I must get that volume too. Amazing (!) that the things we hold can become more wholly and intensely their thing-ness, and stronger, by passing through our hands!! (This astonishes me.) To see these things as a child, and to make a home for them in ourselves . . . I gladly sit at this man’s feet and long for more, more, more. Thank goodness for the daily rhythm of the blog we’ll have.<br /><br />This is an alluringly beautiful introduction to Rilke and our blog, Lorenzo. If I were not already hooked, I would be now. Just as with life -- that the more I learn, the more I know what I don’t know -- the more Rilke I read, including your post (“dictation of existence”!), the more I realize how little I know of him and his work and life. It is such a delicious prospect to set out on this exploration of the constellation of Rilke with you and our friends.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-85975695317310732632011-01-02T08:24:34.045+01:002011-01-02T08:24:34.045+01:00A month or so I was mesmerized ... oh my.A month or so I was mesmerized ... oh my.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-88189896032942563192011-01-02T08:23:39.484+01:002011-01-02T08:23:39.484+01:00The cello is a beautiful instrument that I adore -...The cello is a beautiful instrument that I adore - my son plays bass and my daughter used to play violin.
