I recently played my harp at a hospice memorial. It was the first live one since covid hit. This event used to draw 15-40+ people. This time though, no one came except staff and the Threshold Singers. So they sang and I played to the staff and the staff lit candles and read names to the heavens.
I haven’t played for anyone since covid hit and since I played for my father as he died. I think I am still on an extended leave. I am not going to part from it but my time with fostering and caring for the little animals is pleasantly all consuming. I play for them and myself now.
My harp teacher resumed teaching so now I take lessons for fun and the sheer joy of it, not just to learn therapy pieces. It is good medicine for me.
I have had to learn some lessons about boundaries and service, my own mental health and physical well-being. It is an on-going journey.
Humphrey says hi to the wonderful kindspringers.
