Remembering to incorporate magical realism into my daily life.

Great wild wandering conversations with a children's opera instructor in San Francisco - Lisa Giglio. She has an imagination.

Nyquil dreams about membranous babies morphing into 8 year olds with wings. And aliens bombing the White House during my tour with int'l students.

Those who have eyes: Stay peeled for ridiculous surrealisms around you! Imagine you are 6 and things are as wonky as they might be!

lay down your many arms

let me be one head and two hands today,
the goddess inside asleep,
tired from conducting so many symphonies
