Sunday, Solitude, Sips, and Satie

Hello, friends....

It is the end of the busy, busy day of a most busy season.  I have begun my winter cleaning ritual, the arduous task of downsizing and donating, tax preparation, and preparing for the coming week's festivities.  Needless to say, it can be a bit cumbersome, as we have a large family.  At the end of a long day, and once my angels from tall to small are tucked away in bed and fast asleep, I treat myself to a little bit of self-indulging solitude.

 

A fireside reverie

between myself and beautiful prose (or in this case verse),

and the soft, soothing music of Satie.

It is a wonderful way to end the night

and bid a final farewell to the Fall,

for it will be winter soon.

I hope you'll enjoy the sights paired with the sounds of Satie's Gymnopédies and Gnossiennes in the following link.  This is a YouTube video I watch or listen to quite often.  The beauty of the piano combined with wonderful images of nature is sublime.  You might have to be on a PC in order to view, but it is worthwhile.
