I haphazardly collect old and new hymn books. I bought these two from the historical library at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, VA, while doing some research there. The open book is The Sacred Hymnal, a shape note tunebook from the Ruebush Kieffer Co., the main focus of my recent research efforts. Edited by J. H. Hall, J. H. Ruebush, and W. H. Ruebush, the book was published in 1899 and intended for worship services, prayer meetings, Sunday school, revivals, and other religious meetings. It contains 200 hymns divided into 7 sections: worship, man’s ruin and redemption, the Christian life, the Christian church, young people’s department, the life beyond, and miscellaneous.
The other book is Sacred Songs No.1, edited by Ira D. Sankey, James McGranahan, and George C. Stebbins. The book is in round notes and published by the Biglow and Main Company of New York in 1896. Sankey and Philip Bliss were instrumental in the formation of gospel music, publishing their first collection of songs for gospel meetings in 1875. The book includes many new songs along with “useful and popular pieces,” making it “practical and desirable.” Many sacred and gospel music publishers in the late 19th century issued new songbooks on a regular basis, suggesting that the public sang regularly from the published books and had an appetite for new songs. The editors express their hope that the book will be useful in churches and prayers meetings, as well as in the home so that “the good old-time custom of singing the praises of God in the home may again be revived.”
An age old form of communication. From the elementary notes passed furtively from desk to desk in the classroom between giggling children to the more serious messages of eternal love penned by lovestruck teenagers then stuck in lockers or jacket pockets. As parents we leave these in our children's lunches for them to find as a treat along with their cookies.
They served their purpose as they still do. Like a love letter they are by nature short and to the point; "see you, love you, til later, til then." Short on paper but long on meaning.
There is nothing better than to find one of these jewels, a touching note, a humorous jibe, a reminder to accomplish, or maybe a date. Handy little things these notes are. But mostly, they are a reminder that I'm thinking of you and soon I'll be with you; hopefully sooner, maybe later, but I am thinking about you enough to write it.
This particular love note embellished with one of phyl's anniversary roses.
Love you!

...don't leave your camera lying around. These are NOT my boobs. I carry my camera with me everywhere I go. Today I took it out of my purse and laid it on my desk. A coworker snapped this pic at some point without me knowing it. I think I know who this is and tomorrow i'll ask to see her boobs just to make sure. OK not really but other than me, there is only one other person at work who would do this...
It's been a while since i've posted anything here. I need to get my act together. I've been so busy with work and life and there was an unexpected death last week that just put us in a funk for a few days...not that any death is ever expected.
Some note cards I made at shutterfly.com, with sketches from my moleskine sketchbooks. Tapas sketch was don at Bar Cesar and sushi at Miyuki, both in Berkeley.

Getting a note from our 3 1/2 year-old granddaughter in the mail is a wonderful surprise. Since I didn't have children of my own, it is an especial delight to see an envelope addressed to Nana (amd Papa). And no, I do not know why there's a rocket on here. Or wait, maybe it's something else entirely!

Silvered Sky
Between the boughs I am silvered sky, I am cloud and flock and flare,
I am fox, I am vole, I am badger, mouse, I am otter, stoat and hare.
Minerals aplenty, I am silt and mud and stone,
I am even parts of perished things, I am flesh and blood and bone.
Twisted lines and knotted forms, I am branch and stem and shoot,
Wooded shapes and shadows show I am twig and trunk and root.
Shelter, roost and hideaway, a place to nest and perch,
Texture made of leaf and bark, I am willow, alder, birch.
Beaks and feathers, wings and eyes, I am swoop and brilliant flash,
I am also fin and gill and scales, a twisting, turning dash.
Kingfisher, duck and moorhen, I am swan and heron too,
I am pike and carp and rainbow trout and tench, to name a few.
Come closer and you'll start to see, I am many smaller things,
Fallen leaves and heavy rain, gifts each season brings,
Torrent, trickle, snow and ice, fog and pelting hail,
I am toad and newt and dragonfly, I am beetle, snake and snail.
There’s magic left to show you, a favourite trick of mine,
I’ll flicker bright and beautiful, despite the gloom I’ll shine.
And into dusk we're nearer still, you won’t believe it’s me,
Performance unlike those before, just you wait and see.
I am yellow, orange, pink and red, fluorescent green and blue,
But wait please just a moment, that's not my usual hue.
I think I may be poorly, I am feeling off today,
I am usually quite proud of all my colours on display.
Something’s wrong, I know it now, I am clearly not the same,
And as I swell to ocean, I'll wonder who's to blame.
I am metal and I am plastic, not things I am meant to be,
I should be clean and pure and free, as I become the sea.
Impurities and poisons, no longer just the wild,
I am chemicals and solvents too, it seems I’ve been beguiled.
Ashamed to be pollution, this surely is a crime,
I hope this is reversible, and if so that there’s still time.
When darkness falls and closes in, my midnight show is on,
Ten million lucid stars reborn, I am each and every one.
Between the boughs I am silvered sky, tonight still bold and true,
Consider me is all I ask. Don’t forget I am also you.

If anyone wants to know why I have a grey buddy icon ... its a (peaceful) protests against Getty giving away lots of our images to Google without even bothering to ask the contributors if its OK. Google then stripped all the metadata off the images and started giving them away. I had hoped the contributors meant more to Getty than that! :(
Birds on wires in Paull, East Yorkshire. I can't read music, but if I could would these music notes formed by these birds be Leonard Cohen's 'Bird on a Wire"?
