Henning's Headquarters

[foxandpeng]

So, no musical news apart from all the blanks I've come up with, in all the calls I've participated in. There are two I remember from which I haven't heard yet, and I have almost no emotional reserve to maintain anything like hope in those cases.
Personally, I'm stunned by news of the passing of my sister Kim in Tennessee. Another sister was up here visiting with me (which has been fabulous) While we were driving back to Woburn I called and left vx-mail. I subsequently learnt that she was already gone. Very disorienting, losing a younger sibling.

I'm so very sorry to hear this, Karl. How awful.

[Karl Henning]

Thank you, indeed!

To offer consolation in the light of the death of Karl's sister, I thought of Karl's work:

The Crystalline Ship.

Text:

The Crystalline Ship

And so the crystalline ship has sailed,
Where you feasted on the soul's hard bread,
With the winds in league
With the seas calm or gale
The crystalline ship must sail
Somewhere
You rested in the soul's long bed,
And dreamed you were alive
On the crystalline ship
With the fish and the birds
And the cook in the galley
Sings to her ears
That water is a three-edged sword,
One for the skin and one for the bone
And one for the spirit all alone,
Who is tempted to splash and thrash
The Pacific of your mind's distress
That the crystalline ship has sailed
Somewhere
You bested the sea and split the shell
With a three-edged sword
Of pain and smiles and a wondering blue,
And now launch a vessel found only in you
Left behind by the crystalline ship.

Personally, I'm stunned by news of the passing of my sister Kim in Tennessee. Another sister was up here visiting with me (which has been fabulous) While we were driving back to Woburn I called and left vx-mail. I subsequently learnt that she was already gone.

I'm sorry to hear about your sister.

I'm so very sorry to hear that.  Did you know that she wasn't well or had health issues?

In any event, my thoughts are with you during this sad time. 💔

PD

[Karl Henning]

Many thanks for the warm thoughts!

[JBS]

Sad to hear this. May her memory be a source of blessing for you and your family.

[Karl Henning]

Warm thanks, again! To all.

Well, I'm kind of on top of the stage tonight, and in the cross-hairs of the offstage ensemble, @brewski

Karl, was this at Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk? (My plans changed drastically, and I wasn't able to get up there.)

Do report on the occasion, if so!

I realize I'm a bit late, but I want to express my sincerest sympathy to you and your family, Karl. Peace be with you at this difficult time.
