quote:
To remember love after long sleep; to turn again to poetry after a year in the market place, or to youth after resignation to drowsy and stiffening age; to remember what once you thought life could hold, after telling over with muddied and calculating fingers what it has offered; this is music, made after long silence. The soul flexes its wings, and, clumsy as any fledgling, tries the air again...

-The Hollow Hills, Mary Stewart, page 135

Dear friends, it's funny, when you start composing or performing after a break, it feels "like it was just yesterday..."

It is almost like "life" or all that is not the art, is just a break from the (ever continuous) art.

I loved Stewart's (Merlin's) description as he took up the harp after years... mmm.... everything changes, but everything stays the same... the same old eternity....

Thank you for the magical post Teo.
************************************

The wizard's consciousness is a field
that exists everywhere.

The streams of knowledge contained in the
field are eternal and flow forever.

Centuries of knowledge are compressed
in revelatory moments.

We live as ripples of energy in the vast ocean of energy.

When the ego is set aside, you have access to the totality of memory.

From: The Way
of the
Wizard

I know of a wizard called Merlin who inspired King Arthur who lived in Camelot. Camelot means looking forward with anticipation and excitement with what is sure to come, no matter what has become.

Thank you for the post and the images.

Sincerely,
Gisele

Britannica Concise Encyclopedia

Magician and wise man in Arthurian legend. In Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of England, Merlin was an adviser to King Arthur, with magical powers that recalled his Celtic origins. Later narratives made him a prophet of the grail and gave him credit for the idea of the Round Table. In Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur he brought Arthur to the throne and served as his mentor throughout his reign. His downfall was linked to his infatuation for an enchantress, who imprisoned him after learning the magic arts from him.
