L'Inspiration me guette (Weekend Street/Reflections # 300)

 Paris, France

I took this photo several years ago, but I still remember how this upbeat music from Les Presteej unexpectedly lifted my spirits. 

As someone who relies on logic over sentiment, the psychological power of music remains a striking contradiction. I am generally not very emotional, yet I am consistently amazed by how easily a melody can override my baseline mood. 

Certain classical arrangements act as a catalyst for creative focus. The delicate structure of Debussy’s Clair de Lune can effortlessly trigger tears. Conversely, the kinetic drive of 1980s New Order tracks delivers an immediate shot of mental adrenaline. It's a reminder of how deeply we are hardwired to respond to sound.

Old news/Déluge (Weekend Street/Reflections # 299)

 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

His hand slammed, then rested heavily on the paper, as if trying to settle things for a minute. Sometimes you read about other people’s storms and gathering clouds, and suddenly a flood sweeps you away.

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner last week, and my wife has completed 7 of her 25 radiation treatments. So far so good. 

                                            Have a great weekend!

Passing Through History (Weekend Street/Reflections # 298)

 

Venice, Italy

My wife gets her first radiation treatment in less than an hour. We're hoping for the best and looking forward to a nice anniversary dinner on Saturday (39 years of marriage).

                                            Have a great weekend!
