I recorded this a few years ago, but the last two weeks make this feel more appropriate than ever. What are you doing to find balance amidst the chaos? I have started seeds indoors for early germination. Can’t wait to #garden again! #koyaanisqatsi #phillipglass #violadagamba #bass #trombone

Take a short break from #doomscrolling and enjoy some #harp music. This tune is Niel Gow’s Lament on the Death of His Second Wife. Scottish composer Gow lived from 1727-1807.
