YOU ARE YOUR OWN POET

31 by Days of Cate


You will not find poetry anywhere unless you bring some of it with you.  
-Joseph Joubert

Added some fresh tunes to the Days of Cate blog radio.   Enjoy.

PLAY LIKE YOURSELF


You have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself.

SLEEPING AT LAST

I have to say, blogging has turned out to be a wonderful experience for me.  It took me quite a bit of time to finally take the plunge.  Months?  No, maybe more like years.  Sigh.  Was it because I thought it would be technically difficult?  Did I fear that I would have nothing to say?  Or that what I did say would be of no use to anyone?  Yes, all of the above.

I have to admit, I'm notoriously private.  My closest friends might say as much of me too.  As it turns out though, blogging has given me an artistic home base.  An opportunity to be editor and curator of my own creativity.  A fertile source for tapping into other souls out there that share similar interests.  A place to record bits and pieces of me, if for no other reason then to be a source of future self-reflection.  I'm only just beginning.  This July celebrating my 5th month online and glad to be here.

As a special treat to the growing number of guests I've had check out Days of Cate this summer, I thought it would be lovely to share what I think to be some beautiful music.  The perfect paring for summertime drives, creating art, getting lost in thought, or maybe even blogging!


The band Sleeping At Last - have you discovered them yet?  Their lyrics - poetic.  Their melodies - enchanting.   Scroll to the bottom of my blog and you will find a playlist.   So many beauties - I had a difficult time choosing which to feature here.

"Dive in, with your eyes closed, for the life you were born to claim." -Watermark song by Sleeping At Last


Oh, and for the record, a few of my favorite Sleeping At Last tracks (at least for this moment because I do love them all!):  SNOW, EMPHASIS, DEAR TRUE LOVE.  Until we meet again.  ~Cate

WHEN I AM FILLED WITH MUSIC....

"I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music.  It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain.  Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music." 
{George Elliot}


I'm always on the lookout for new music to enjoy.  I'm really dig'n on the sounds of the band "CAKE" lately.
