After 36 years working in the business world, the theme bubbles up more frequently now,

Seeking balance to the 24/7 pace of the for profit world, in a role that quite literally could often never sleep,

Service and support and immediate action the marching orders most days, many of the items in the email inbox could be Number One,

This seeking inspiration, balance to the business doings, creativity more to the fore in the last third of my life, whatever I have left,

Never mind the non-stop pace of commerce, business demands churn on forever,

And so looking anew outside, these three voices, my latest inspiration,

Jonathon Heyward, cellist, conductor, music director.

Lara Downes, protean pianist, music activist.

Leonard Bernstein, pianist, conductor, composer, author, humanitarian.

More to come on these three, and gladly so, enough for the moment to simply honor their paths and their work,

Heyward & Downes still most active,

Bernstein’s legacy living on forever in his music and work,

Inspiration found anew,

GOOD.
