I think winter is here to stay for a while. Cold 19 degrees .... but that sky!

The Divestiture Phase

I'm beginning to see evidence that I've entered what I call the "Divestiture Phase of the Penultimate Chapter". 

Slowly but surely, I'm relaxing out of the brain's wiring attuned to compulsive human doings, and starting to think, "hey, I think I like not caring about anything." One of theA couple major things I'm noticing is my waning appetite for food and distraction. I'm falling more and more deeply in love with my Harps and spending many hours reviewing pieces that I learned over the past two years, and polishing them up. Remarkably my learning curve is much shorter that it was when I was first learning the pieces, and now, as I work on new ones, I am getting them under my hands at a much quicker pace. It's finally happening! And I am so gratified.

Just yesterday I got the bug to make my next WIP (work in progress) to be an arrangement of Secret Garden. Started working on it, and at first it seemed pretty straight forward C Minor, but there is a "B" section that slides into the subdominant of Eb, with a harmonic episode in relative minor modulations. I'll have to figure out what's going on there, but it's basically Harmony 101 .... just can't figure it out without taking an international look ..... TBD. I'll be sure to post it when it's finished. 

Also, since I'm in Eb folder, I had a notion to try "I'm on the Top of the World" which sounds so nice on harp ..... what doesn't?

Anyway, I'm late to blogging today, further evidence that my compulsive behavior patterns (food obsession, schedule rigidity) are loosening their grip on my brain and I can actually feel entrainment to less brainwave activity. And I like it .... not needing the be the guy who goes into a panic when he's not hyper fixated on the inner world.  My brain and body like it too. Time to exhale!
