the sound of music

[rainsinger]

Growing up, I knew my father was an amazing singer, and his voice and his shadow threaded themselves through the fabric of my childhood. His voice was a bass baritone, and never spoiled by his drink or his 40-a-day-cigs habit, even though the rest of his body caved in when he was 44. There were many

But I don't believe in living an unchallenged life. I always try to push myself to do that which I fear, so that the fear no longer has power over me. I believe in being braver than you consider yourself capable of being, because courage is not about being fear-less (that's recklessness) but going on despite it.

Classic rainsinger, classic inspiration. You are just wonderful. XX

And he had no idea that the things that were so glaringly obvious to him might just possibly be less obvious to someone else

I'm certainly no genius, but I have this fault. This makes it very difficult for me to try to teach Tom stuff. I fight it, but... grrr... it's tricky.

Anyway... .mp3 files? :D

yeah, I've been on both sides of the equation. Sometimes I am very impatient with people to keep up and learn but i also remember how destructive for me were my father's insults and rages and how long it took me to regain confidence in my abilities.

But I think as long as you are aware of the stuff in you, and are trying, that's all you can do about it really.

Ahhhh. I can breathe again, your posts are amazing. I can see you on his chest listening and your description of his voice is just... oh man.

I want to write a song called Crow With A Cold but would that upset you?

Not at all, so long as it's not about slandering me ;)

Speaking of songs - I kept trying to work on the started one you sent me but all my creative energies appear to be on hibernation still. Bah.
They will come back.

[tubewalker]

As if I'd slander you!

...but all my creative energies appear to be on hibernation still. Bah.

That happens, ho hum.
