I find I'm opening to the idea of writing the next piece. I don't know yet what that piece looks like, and I'm in no rush to set it.

If I had perhaps begun to feel that I was something of a failure, I'm grateful to these colleagues for today's session made me feel again that I am a composer.

Hi Karl,

Is (If I might ask), the job that you applied for a receptionist job?  Are they looking for someone with a lot of typing skills....or?  Would you have to set up appointments?

Still no notes. I'm thinking of shaking up my process a bit, just for a change-up. It's a long time since I've done this, but I'll graph the piece out and work in from the abstract.

I've been meaning to ask: are there any updates with you starting to play saxophone?

Thanks for asking. Between very slow progress with restoring feeling in the fingers and my mental preoccupation with my living situation, I've neglected the saxophone, but I welcome your reminder to give it a fresh go!
