Program Notes: Have you listened to the clouds (las nubes) today?
They were so quiet, I know! No matter how hard it is, I try to slow down and find time to listen to the flowers, to see the sun, to touch the sky, to breathe the leaves of the trees, to feel the place where I am. As if I were a three-year-old kid who is ALWAYS AMAZED. I go through life fascinated by little snails—which I call Larry— and the shape of leaves (las hojas).

In the best of days, I swear I can touch the sky. I can tell you how it feels, or I can invite you to do the same now. Go ahead, close your eyes and do it. You’ll love it! (share with me at: carlos@thehappychoir.com)
