My last post was just before my birthday. On June 30, right after my trip to Pemaquid, I learned that my husband’s twin brother had been in a horrific automobile accident that was to prove fatal. This is the reason for my abandonment of this writing project. I don’t want to detail this terrible time in our lives here but only to say that my daily piano practice helped me keep it together through the past few months. Having a concrete, well-defined routine for an hour a day gave me continuity, a respite from my and my family’s grieving. It allowed me to feel things that needed feeling as the music moved through all the various emotional colors.
Now, I would like to return to this series and work through an article several times a week. With your help, my readers.
