The way we share ourselves is where our voices come from... in real life as well as on the page. In that sense, it's often the others we deal with in life who give us our voice.<br /><br />No, not often... always. We give voice to others by how we treat them, how we respond (or don't respond) to them. And... it's interesting to see how we share and receive, share and receive throughout our lives as we connect further and farther.<br /><br />Thanks again for being one of those connections who helped me find my voice.Eden "Kymele" Mabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550337993392791643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044142491333444735.post-30997441587265982412015-06-25T05:05:07.703-04:002015-06-25T05:05:07.703-04:00Cindy!

I actually posted about it, here: http://homelesschroniclesintampa.blogspot.com/2012/08/row-80-day-25-playing-violin-and-how-to.html. What I DO play with great gusto, however, is the violin's slightly larger and deeper relative, the viola and I have a superb viola! When I play the violin I think bad things happen, like the universe melts or something, because I always end up playing notes that only dogs or Chthulu can hear. One time, I got a call from some old bat in Germany who yelled "Hor auf mit dem Radau!" ("Stop that racket!") and slammed down the phone. Just kidding. The violin is just not my favorite instrument to PLAY, although I love to listen to it! Again, thank you so much for stopping by. I truly appreciate it! :DViolaFuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05796592763194795436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044142491333444735.post-91485817938775478082015-06-25T04:56:37.883-04:002015-06-25T04:56:37.883-04:00Eden,
Thank you so much for visiting and your kin...Eden,<br /><br />Thank you so much for visiting and your kind words. One of the things I found when I started writing is that writers in general are generous with sharing their outlooks and experiences and I think that's kind of how we find our "voices". I had never done much writing outside of writing rhetorical essays in college and winning a couple little awards for that, so it took time for me to find myself as it were. As you have shared with me and made me a better person and someone with a much broader outlook and possibly (I hope) a wiser person, I have received the gift of having a much richer life and approach it with much more feeling than I ever did before. That gift is priceless and I can never thank you, and all of the other writers that I have met just since 2011, when I began blogging.<br /><br />I love you as well. I'm always interested to see what you're up to and where you're going and this is such a blessing, I cannot say enough about it and how it's manifested itself in my life. I have a great life and wonderful things to do. Every day is a chance for me to see and feel and probably will end up in some post, which will be my legacy. Having my music back is a plus. Being able to write about all of the things Jim and I experienced together and had so much fun with keeps him by my side; well, he's here in my presence anyway, as I write this. I also feel that as I've been graced, so it is that I must try and pass on the gift. Thank you for everything, Eden. For #row80 and for our facebook crowd and all the rest. You are all close in my heart!ViolaFuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05796592763194795436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044142491333444735.post-77368756538864475752015-06-24T00:02:47.947-04:002015-06-24T00:02:47.947-04:00Cheers to reclaiming the violin!! :-)Cheers to reclaiming the violin!! :-)Here, There be a Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181791525156482545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044142491333444735.post-55243199643893119412015-06-23T13:22:29.883-04:002015-06-23T13:22:29.883-04:00Wonderful news about getting back into the orchest...Wonderful news about getting back into the orchestra (and making a dear friend). Your story about the bicycles! I can so very much relate to that as well (I grew up in several households of 'distracted passions'... can I tell you about my jewelry making and painting [both on indefinite hold]). <br /><br />:-D<br /><br />So much love to you, Mary. Your posts are so rich and full of life, the pleasant aspects as well as the not-so pleasant ones. I love reading them and thank you for being so generous with your life and experiences with me (and everyone else on the web as well). <<>>Eden "Kymele" Mabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550337993392791643noreply@blogger.com
