leaping | in balance

I've committed myself to a sport activity two times in a row now. It makes me feel like a very responsible adult. Also talked about cello and revisited works of Zoë Keating. And that always makes me feel in balance.

o que c'est beau schön prittie prittie

"Zoe Keating playing her cello in the middle of San Francisco International Airport. On her way to play, Zoe opens up about the places she's been fortunate enough to visit and play, because of her music. A cello festival in Beauvais, the opera house in Sydney, Zurich, the New Mexico desert for the gasoline-laden simulation of a nuclear bomb, the list goes on." Read more on the story here. 



under the counter it's dark and the lady the nice Dutch lady who loves Americans and has relations in Trenton shows you postcards that shine in the dark pretty hotels and palaces    O que c'est beau schön prittie prittie and the mooonlight ripple ripple under the bridge and the little reverbères are alight in the dark under the counter and little windows of hotels around the harbour    O que c'est beau la lune

escape

Zoë Keating shared today this absolutely stunning live performance of "Escape Artist" recorded at the ABC Radio National. She describes pretty well my attitude towards the forest and the city. That's precisely what I feel whenever I run into the woods: I can't wait to be back in the city again. And once there, then I wish to run away somewhere else almost immediately. Always in between. Zoë blends this duality unmistakably. As usual.



To experience more such great tales, purchase Zoë's album Into The Trees from here.

sun will set...

eventually some time soon I suppose. Zoë depicts this state beautifully. Good. Night.

double rainbowness

I have seen two double rainbows two days in a row. Wonderfulness. And also had an inspiring conversation on the beauty of art. Both things brought me the post Zoë Keating shared on her Twitter. Please meet Adam Wolpert and his works. 



I don't relate to ugly, repulsive images that decribe our times. 
(...) there is still an enourmous amount of beauty.

a good tune from Zoë Keating
