Hi David, what makes writing freeing for me is that I get to complete a thought or a point I am trying to make without being interrupted, judged, corrected, or devalued. Sometimes I am amazed and surprised where a new sentence or paragraph takes me, a place I had never thought to go. Also for me, in writing, a narrative is created that must be a truth at least for me at that moment. Writing also helps me to organize my sometimes scrambled thoughts leading to an aha moment. I have never created written music but only whistled a few new tunes so I don’t personally know the relationship of writing and music or art for that matter. Safe travels home.
Wherever you go (+ Mrs Zoll) and friends + relatives you're never 'just tourists'. I like that. Even though it's pleasant to drop being a cultivated traveller (who'm I kidding,and go totally Tourist for an afternoon).
Seems lately I have been talking about my old high school. We all took an art class. One of the finish things you had to have done at the end of the year was 50 poems and illustrations. You could use original poems with original artwork. Mine was about 50/50. I found out later the grade had more to do with how detailed your art was. She wanted to see you try with the artwork and that is about all I can say about my artwork.
Looks like your trip is taking some nice festivals and who doesn't like pie. I watched an artist that told everyone something as small as your signature is a work of individual art. Everyone's signature is different and a small work of art.

That’s so true Tim! I never thought of that! No interruptions! And when we read we are listening.
So true on reading and listening. Nice

What fun writing poems and illustrations! Sounds like a great teacher. I like the idea of our signatures as art.
She also did the senior play every year.
We were so fortunate to have such creative dedicated teachers/ guides.
