  1. From this lazy person, a shake of my own bells and staff in admiration at the beauty you have produced here.

  2. Thanks, Robbi--Just got in from a day of ferrying boys across the face of New York in way too much snow and ice. Bad out there.

  3. The Red King's Sword - love that! All that loud textural noise and clatter in wonderful ugliness. I like that one a lot.
    Wielding the Tree Finder is pastoral in a huge way. I liked that one very much too. One wonderful tone poem that.

    And snow.
    The snow is not dancing, the snow is being very obstinate there indeed!

  4. Alder White must be a friend of Willow's! No doubt an artsy fellow with music at his fingertips.

    I shall have to write something about grueling-yet-beautiful drive today. Dancing snow devils...

    Have gotten some fan letters from writers on these. That is fun too!

Alas, I must once again remind large numbers of Chinese salesmen and other worldwide peddlers that if they fall into the Gulf of Spam, they will be eaten by roaming Balrogs. The rest of you, lovers of grace, poetry, and horses (nod to Yeats--you do not have to be fond of horses), feel free to leave fascinating missives and curious arguments.
