Nothing actually stands between saying, “The river sang,” and “It was as if the river sang,” other than a set of rigid rules that forbids the former from being more than a metaphor. -Fr. Stephen Freeman

Rachmaninoff Update 2
Well, life has been a little bit out of kilter lately, with a decision to buy a new house if we can sell our old one, redoing the kitchen, two trips out of town, and surely something else that I'm forgetting.
I have managed to play piano more than I was doing before. It's a wonderful way to unwind. But playing late at night, for me, is not the best way to get serious practice done.
Still, a few times I have worked on the Rachmaninoff and trust that continuing to at least keep it there in the forefront of my brain, and sometimes in the tips of my fingers, is better than nothing at all.
And soon the kitchen mess should end, I'll have the house back to myself during the days....until we move, at least!
