Morton 1 . . .

(source: http://animals.mom.me/stages-praying-mantis-life-cycle-6282.html)

Morton the mantis came of age in, what seemed to him, an inordinately lengthy period of time. He dreamed, joyfully, of the moment when he and his mantis-mate would finally 'join' to lead a life of bliss (connubial and otherwise).  Slogging through adolescence, Morton found himself larger in size than before; certainly larger than all of the other nymphs. He began to shed exoskeletons periodically and occasionally tended to be sluggish and unable to eat. Finally that annoying molting process ended at the beginning of summer, and Morton found himself to be a mature adult.

Perception . . .

As I approach the finale of the old television series Frasier on Netflicks (which it seems I've been watching sporadically for at least two years and running), the actress Laura Linney is now a major character (Frasier's new love interest). Laura Linney has always reminded me of my tenth-grade biology teacher in high school.  That, of course, got my mind pondering my youth (adolescence to be precise) and the whereabouts of some of the friends and acquaintances from those days which led to thinking about perception, life, philosophy and much more.

One of my more cogent observations from this, my mature vantage point, is that when I was in high school there was very little boredom during my daytime, committed, serious hours (those spent at school). Conversely, now that I am older and know very well the nature of my true passion(s), my daytime, committed, serious hours (those spent at my economic livelihood) can frequently become boring.  The one constant however is, I do (and have for a long, long time) fully, constructively and joyfully occupy those hours that are my own. And the one pastime with which I fill this time is the truest and most wonderful passion one can imagine . . . making music!

The soundtrack. . .

With the discomfort of adolescence came confusion not only about my development as a person but about music. But with my musical confusion also came a wonderful period of listening, learning and enjoyment. Seems that for some, music is merely background; incidental, if you will. For others, such as myself, music is the soundtrack to life. An old friend of mine once said that Jethro Tull's TO CRY YOU A SONG 'got him through' high school. I knew exactly what he meant. A plethora of music got me through grade, middle, high school, college, marriage, children and the deaths of various friends and family members. Music is so much more to me than mere background. And music still 'gets me through' everything I do. I wouldn't have it any other way.
