March 13, 2014 by Kate Walter

I first saw the bracelet at a music festival some years ago in Toronto.  The copper color caught my eye, and I was attracted by the beautiful design of the letters cut from metal. “What do these words say?” I asked the Tibetan vendor. “It’s a mantra,” he answered, “inviting enlightenment for everyone on earth.”…READ MORE >

A Drop of Water and Another and Another

December 11, 2013 by Kate Walter

I started painting pictures of the Mississippi River when I was living in Canada.  Always a northerner,  I felt at home in Canada as long as I stayed within breathing distance of the mists off the Great Lakes, and I became familiar with the names and histories of the great rivers of Canada.  I learned…READ MORE >

When We Grow Our Food, Our Community Grows November in Tucson, Arizona, signals a change in season.  The intense summer sun has relaxed, and while we wait for the winter rains, people, plants and animals reach a place of contented wellbeing.  We find joy in the warm soft brightness of an autumn day in the desert.  …READ MORE >

Blackboard Drawings

April 8, 2013 by Kate Walter

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 >
