Winter is the best time
to find out who you are.
Quiet, contemplation time,
away from the rushing world,
cold time, dark time, holed-up
pulled-in time and space
to see that inner landscape,
that place hidden and within.

I send happy birthday wishes into the ether for poet and novelist Richard Brautigan. Born in Tacoma, Washington in 1935, he was the San Francisco hippie author who read his poetry at psychedelic rock concerts, helped produce underground newspapers, and became involved with the Beat Movement.
Back in 1961, while camping and hiking with his wife and young daughter in Idaho’s Stanley Basin, he sat next to trout streams with his portable typewriter and wrote his best known book, Trout Fishing in America (published in 1967).

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
It’s the birthday of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, born in Salzburg, Austria in 1756. He only lived for 35 years but he started his career early — a child prodigy from a family of musicians. He toured all over Europe, and wrote his first opera at age 11.
Glenn Gould plays the fast first movement (Allegro Maestoso) of Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 8 in A Minor to get you moving this morning.
