Tonight, I went to a brilliant concert by an Estonian jazz vocalist, Liisi Koikson -- a tribute to Joni Mitchell. Listening to her renditions of songs about community and conflict and living, I was drawn to the lyrics and the emotion of the music. Raw, funny, philosophical... I realized that I also don't really know life at all, but I do know how to appreciate a nice evening in pensive musical atmosphere.
Both Sides, Now
by Joni Mitchell

What is life? Is it the same answer to the question of truth?
You know life. Just not Joni's life. And well, that's probably OK. Lots of angst went into her songs...
Lot's of love and light go into your life. May you treasure this solstice... and wait for the light to return.
Peace, dear friend.
