MUSINGS...by Beverly Rieger

Outside my window a soft rain is falling. It is cool out today and the breeze is gentle. I am enjoying the pinks and purples and yellows of flower, and the deep green of the fully emerged leaves on trees. Mother Nature is at her creative best! Creativity is not meant to be hard, demanding, serious work. Often, we as artists, composers, writers become so deadly serious that our lives cease to be lived in joy, happiness, lightness of Spirit.
