He Touched Me

" The universe is dynamic. 
When we are creative, 
we are the most alive 
and in touch with it."


Brad Dourif 

Sir James Galway

“ It is always pleasant

 to be urged to do something

 on the ground 

that one can do it well. ”

 George Santayana

" The secret of genius 

is to carry the spirit 

of the child 

into old age. . .

never losing 

your enthusiasm. "

Aldous Huxley

Going into a crowd

is not my habit.

But Sir James Galway

played in Honolulu on Sunday

so with my tall friend John

at my side, I braved

the Blaisdel Concert Hall.

Have I mentioned

that I have played flutes

of every sort

my whole life?

(when medically possible)

How could I pass this up?

His tone was instructive,

not a particle of air,

nor the tiniest vibration

out of place.

Woody.

He made that gold flute

sound like wood.

He also played

a penny whistle!

"I'm one of those amateurs,"

I said to himself afterwards,

"and I will be hearing your tone 

in my head for quite some time.

If you wouldn't mind-

would you touch my hand

with yours?"

He placed his atop mine,

I put my other atop his.

I think he closed his eyes.

An Angel Passed.

And so the 

Laying of of Hands

to inform my playing;

If not technically

then in my

confidence.

Who would YOU

like to meet?
