Measuring time. My analogue clock's hands go round and round each day meting out the minutes and the hours. Funny how sometimes time seems to stand still and other times it flies. The years go quickly; my son soon turns thirty, an impossibility when he just turned twenty. Yet today the minutes seemed to take forever as I waited to hear that people had arrived safely at their destinations.
On my wrist I wear a digital watch. My clock shows times in fives, my watch in minutes and seconds. No longer do we live by the sun and moon, but by our artificial measures. Far too rarely I shed my watch and try to find the natural rhythms of life.

Day 237: Break time
Back to rehearsals - this time for an upcoming concert in September. It is Flutissimo's tenth season and we have a special event planned. After two hours of playing we had a break. I like the feeling of working in a group towards a goal. It is satisfying when the director's comments are put into practise and the music comes to life.
Music is a connector - bringing people from all walks of life together for a common activity.
