Tending What Is Near, the new post on The Listening Room HQ

Swinging on playground swings, hugging trees, winding paths, and rediscovering wonder through small acts of attention that awaken perception. It can be read on The Polymath site.

Don McLean’s Vincent is based on Vincent Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, while Dire Straits’ In the Gallery is a tribute to sculptor Harry Braun.
