Been sitting here for well over an hour and a half, just listening to different music, looking at paintings and thinking on a wide range of subjects and memories, many from the distant past. There’s no nostalgia in it. Not even much wistfulness. Just tracing lines back and forth, trying to see how things come and go, how things change, how we both grow and erode with time.
And after all of that I think I am just going to play a song this morning.
Maybe it has something to do with the time spent this morning. Maybe not. I am not going to talk about it here except to say this a beautifully written and performed song. It’s from Joan Baez from back in the mid 1970’s and references her relationship with Bob Dylan in the the 1960’s with ten years perspective.
It struck a chord with me then and still does, after all these years. Here’s Diamonds and Rust.
Have a good day.

Thanks for giving me some “diamonds and rust” to think about as I start my day. That song was always a favorite, and I needed the reminder.
Yeah, it’s one of those songs that you don’t hear a lot so it fades out of memory. But when heard again, everything about it seems to come back fully.
Tell me about it… the refrain keeps running thru my head… over and over.
I was out of the house so early yesterday I missed this. It’s a favorite song: filled with memories for me.. I recently heard from someone who disappeared from my life decades ago, and my first thought was to reply only with this song. It’s yet another interesting story, but one that never will appear on my blog.
