The focus and discipline of music, listening and creating music. An art form that requires constant attention through time to create. When the music stops, the continuance can be felt in the vibrations of the sound waves and then only in the memory of the listener.
A tool for meditation, for issuing presence of mind and body - into balance with the energy and soul. When the reverberations of the music enhances the healthy balance of vibrations of the entire self, body and soul, then healing, loving, living is happening.
music has been an ever constant in my life.

Herbie Girl
Herbie Girl was a Maximilian Pionus parrot, nicknamed the apartment parrot since they don't screech like some of the larger parrots; they 'cheep', 'chirp' and in Herbie's case, also said 'please', 'thank you', 'I love you', 'no' and various other sounds.
She definitely knew how to get herself understood and in no uncertain terms ruled the roost where the cat was concerned, nurtured my canaries, was totally smitten in love with Chanoch and was my faithful companion for 30 years.
Being that she was a small parrot, quiet and calm, it made it easy for her to be with me in many circumstances. Which was good since she hated being alone. So along she went. She went through Boston University, traveled throughout America east of the Mississippi via planes, cars, bikes and trains. She helped in my Mother's dress shop, worked along with my secretaries in my practice, stayed at some of the best hotels and dance camps, cuddled up to watch movies, joined us for meals, She was an integral part of my life and I think she charmed many of those she met.
I knew this day would come- that I would have to say goodbye. Her species- Maximilian Pionus - life expectancy is about 25 yrs. There were a few close calls over the years when I thought I might lose her but when I saw her aging a bit and year 27 went to 28, went to 29.... I knew I had to start preparing for the inevitable.
That funny green bird was a bright light:) Enjoy the wonderful, silly and amazing stories. I'll be adding stories and I hope you will too.
Cheers & cheep to you,
Herbie's Mom
