RE: Just Enough Time For Bortkiewicz, the Shakers, Near Meadows, Coffee, and a Big Realization
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I was captivated by Sergei Bortkiewicz from the first two paragraphs of this post, where you perfectly describe what I've always imagined walking in the Golden Gate area to be like—such an iconic place that inspires me from afar. That sound is perfect and fits with what it conveys to me. You've just reminded me that we're currently preparing two choral works, but by another Sergei 🤭 I'm loving Rachmaninoff; I'd never had the chance to sing his music before, but since it came into my life two weeks ago, I think I've become happier ❤️ It's great to hear from you, dear friend. I hope you're well, and that moments like the one you've described today become part of your daily life. We need to connect with peace, nature... GOD

Sergei Rachmaninoff's choral music changed my life, too ... he was a man of deep faith, in a time when the faith was being denied in his homeland ... he wrote several of his works on the verge of the Soviet period, during World War I ... and they are his BEST work. When I write choral music now, Rachmaninoff is often in the back of my mind!
I walk 4-6 times a week, but in order to take more care of my mother, I switched last summer from afternoon walking to morning, and often I have errands I need to work in. So, a pure afternoon walk, even a short one, is now rare ... but if I get to do one and even get time to work in my journal and pray, I am grateful. That afternoon was exceptionally beautiful, and so, made the cut for Q-Inspired! Staying connected to the peace that comes from God in the beauty of His creation is a big part of how I keep going!
