“If you could say,
We will have to travel along separate roads battered by tumultuous weather, disappointment, starvation, hospitals, jails,& physical pain, but we are going There, to that point you see up ahead […]
Look. See our future, out there?
Then I would be able to say now, All will be well.“

Dachte ich nicht, dass ich dieses Jahr noch einen #Zilpzalp sehe, bis ich Donnerstagmorgen einem begegnet bin @swaninga.bsky.social, beim See @tenar1.bsky.social.
Hadn't reckoned that I'd still see another #chiffcaff this year until I encountered one Thursday morning.

Day 1: Nothing #LyricsPrompt #LyricsPrompt2025

Reply to *this post* (not the top one!) with the artist, title, hashtag & YouTube link to the 1st song today's prompt word reminds you of (derivatives OK!). Scroll through the replies first—if your song's already there, like it instead of reposting.

Wenn der Novemberwind deine Hoffnung verweht
Und du bist so müde, weil du nicht mehr weißt, wie's weitergeht,
Wenn dein kaltes Bett dich nicht schlafen lässt,
Halt dich an deiner Liebe fest!
Halt dich an deiner Liebe fest!

Weh mir, wo nehm ich, wenn
Es Winter ist, die Blumen, und wo
Den Sonnenschein,
Und Schatten der Erde?
Die Mauern stehn
Sprachlos und kalt, im Winde
Klirren die Fahnen.

- Friedrich Hölderlin

Oh Courtney, my daughter did a magazine spread on this a while ago. It's on her personal website now, so it's fair game for sharing.

If you've followed me after December 1, 2024, you should be aware that in November each year, I host #LyricsPrompt, where I post a word each day & folks reply with a song that the word evokes. I repost these replies, which means I end up posting a LOT.

Join in—or mute the hashtag if it's too much!
Heads-up that I'm pausing the #CanCon thread over November, when I'm hosting #LyricsPrompt.

(I'm sure most of my #LyricsPrompt posts will be CanCon anyway.)
ME: Dad, wait, there‘s a Treecreeper in that tree ahead.
DAD: (slightly fed up because of my frequent stops to look for birds) You stay and watch, I‘ll walk a little bit ahead already.
🤦🏼‍♀️
HOW DO I TELL HIM?

Took a long walk today, however my walking companion got impatient with me for stopping, watching and listening too often.
Still some things blooming along the way.
„…what is heard is what is already in the past and the proof for that is measurable. Sound has to travel a little way; it has to overcome space in order to reach a pair of ears. In this space of time, a few distortions can occur. Anxiety, misunderstanding can intervene, even heartbreak.“

…To need time means being able to anticipate nothing, having to wait for everything, being dependent on the other for one's own.“

„In actual conversation, something happens. I do not know in advance what the other will say to me because I myself do not even know what I am going to say, perhaps not even whether I am going to say anything at all...

„There are people like me who read a love letter over and over again.
Every time they see a different message and a different level of love,
and, until they have, read it backward and forward several times, and
de-emphasize certain words. In fact, they cannot rest.“

Mental imagery is associated with a bewildering variety of human traits and capacities: a propensity to hold grudges; a vulnerability to trauma; emotional awareness; ways of making art; memory of one’s life. What happens if you can’t see it?
Some People Can’t See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound
Research has linked the ability to visualize to a bewildering variety of human traits—how we experience trauma, hold grudges, and, above all, remember our lives.
