August 9, 2020 by Kate Walter

Back in the day, when my friends and I were young and eager to be out sharing poetry and music, the coffeehouse beckoned. Public, legitimate, no age limits, no alcohol licensing requirement, coffee houses in the Chicago area often had a stage as well, many with hours scheduled for drop in performers on the “Open…READ MORE >

In These Times – A Window for Healthy Changes

April 26, 2020 by Kate Walter

I remember one day in a Waldorf school in a big city where I worked as a class teacher, finding my way down long hallways and flights of stairs to a basement room, with a door, that held a couch, a bookshelf, and a small table with coffee supplies. A colleague was sitting on the…READ MORE >

SPRING while homebound

March 23, 2020 by Kate Walter

  The daffodils are in full bloom, and that means it is time to get the garden ready to plant. Some weeks ago Michael tilled leaves into the beds of rich red clay that we are enticing along on the journey to rich brown humus.  Then he hauled wheelbarrow load upon wheelbarrow load of compost…READ MORE >

The axatse is a dried gourd that has been emptied of its seeds and covered in netting with small shells attached. When the gourd is shaken, the shells rattle and make a loud…READ MORE >

Point of View

April 18, 2019 by Kate Walter

This young painting, showing the interaction of the colors brown and blue on a white ground, looks like this viewed vertically, with the brown on the left.     Rotate the painting 90 degrees;   images seen in the painting change.     Rotate another 90 degrees.  New images appear, old ones disappear.   One more turn…READ MORE >

Wednesday, a New Painting Takes Wings

April 10, 2019 by Kate Walter

  I worked for many years in Waldorf schools, where observations Rudolf Steiner made in the early twentieth century continue to inspire and challenge school communities. Not only the teachers but also the staff, organizational board, parents, students and visitors who come to a Waldorf school quickly feel that something different, and powerful, is happening…READ MORE >

Music in the Wood: Harmonic Forms by Paul Fairchild

I climbed down out of the Crow’s Nest and spent a recent Saturday afternoon worrying a pile of knotty red oak rounds with a maul and wedge, whittling them down to size for the wood stove. As I split them open, I enjoyed seeing the beautiful swirling grains in the wood, exposed to the sunlight…READ MORE >

Beechnuts

Each morning on the way to the barn we walk under the hanging limbs of the great beech tree that stands by the corner of our house. Names and dates carved long ago on the smooth, gray trunk are dark and distorted, barely legible. The tremendous number of beechnuts that grow on a tree this…READ MORE >
