A Glance into the World of Gourds

July 5, 2019 by Michael Wright

  My interest in gourds began when I was introduced to the axatse, a rhythm instrument used in West African drumming ensembles. 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 >

The Hens

January 22, 2019 by Kate Walter

Looking back, I see that not all the data was fully in when Michael and I decided to move to Virginia. We had factored in a lot of things as we considered the move, with water and garden spot two important considerations. People, of course. What we hadn’t anticipated was the ticks, the wood ticks…READ MORE >

BACK FORTY REPORT

September 12, 2018 by Kate Walter

Afternoons I wear many hats, but mornings I get to be a farmer. The job pays nothing, indeed it costs money, but the rewards are priceless. Yesterday, glimmery, gloriously light and cool, and the sun smiled on the work of many spiders.   They must have been working all night, creating mystical magical receivers in…READ MORE >

Dora’s Story, Rehab in the Desert

April 20, 2015 by Kate Walter

  It was very good luck that led us to the J-Six Equestrian Center last spring. Thinking my husband and I were permanently moving from the southwest, I was looking for short term boarding for our two horses, out of the heat of Tucson and accessible to long distance truckers.   I visited J-Six Equestrian…READ MORE >

Garden of Radio Delights

Roll back the tape: 1960, Cincinnati, Ohio, 3 am. My upstairs bedroom.  Headphones on, I’m squinting in the dark at the lighted dial of my Hallicrafter S-38e short wave radio, with a Q-multiplier attached that I built from a Heathkit. The S-38e was produced from 1957 to 1961, making it the end of the Hallicrafters S-38 line of shortwave…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 >
