Today is #thecampfire where we tell our stories on the first Tuesday of every month. Stories can be sad, happy, joyful, scary. They can be hard to read or hilarious. Stories bring us closer together, connect us. We need stories and connection. I'm still thinking on mine, but I hope you join!

#TheCampfire This is an affection about a man across the street living in an apartment above a garage. I start with a wood fire pizza from his favorite restaurant, The Black Pelican. Mark, a ferocious reader of books, all star griper of change and tender in spots ⬇️ alt

if you glimpsed through his rough, died on October 1st.
I don’t even know his last name, but we had many good talks while sitting on his small side porch. His gravel and grit voice punctuated with coughs, held court with stories from youth, complaints about society changing before he could grasp the changes and books. He’d never reply to a text, but call and he’d pick up with a what’s going on.
In the everyday coming and going he always had a book so I started leaving books which I thought would be of interest to him. The best he had to say was, I wouldn’t have picked this up, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for bringing it over.
His most famous gripe, out of a never ending stream, was this street is full of old people in by 5. I reminded him that we were old too and he simply replied, yeah, but we’re still outside.
So there will be no more books to share, waves of hello goodbye or hearing the new gripe. He has left on the edge of fall when the light starts to wane early and the mighty oaks begin their shedding and we’re all in by 5.

#thecampfire I'm going to talk about connection today. Not necessarily a love story for one person but for humanity. There are times in this world, more than I care to acknowledge, that one can feel totally alone. Totally disconnected from the people around them. Like you are an outsider to it.

“The music you love when you're a teenager is always going to be the most important to you.” - Lin-Manuel Miranda on Fresh Air, WHYY, January 2017 #TheCampfire #TheBeatles #music Story in ALT.

The cover illustration of my book, "Leadership Lessons with The Beatles".

#Campfire
A Lifelong Love of The Beatles

I was 17 years old when I first listened to The Beatles and fell in love with the music.
While studying engineering, I stayed in a women’s hostel. The resident student advisor was the only one with a radio, and some of us begged her to use it on Saturday nights when the Listener’s Choice program came on All India Radio, Madras. The Beatles’ songs from the program sounded magical. A lifelong fan was born. When my family in Madurai bought a record player, I jumped with joy. I could buy my favorite records with my scholarship money and take them home during holidays to play and share with my sisters. When my husband, daughter, and I left for the United States, I packed the few records I had between my sarees, and I still have them today in my stereo cabinet. Over the years, I have bought the box set of all their albums on vinyl and CDs, and their songs dominate my Spotify playlist. I never saw The Beatles in person. I don’t regret it, though. There is something intimate about listening to them alone, without all the noise and hoopla associated with live performances. When I turned 60, I asked my family to celebrate it at Cirque du Soleil’s “Love” show based on The Beatles, in Las Vegas. It was a memorable experience.
Now in my seventies, I love their music as much as I loved it when I was a teenager.
When my granddaughter was old enough, I introduced her to Strawberry Fields Forever so we could sing along in the car. Instead of being annoying, her repeated requests to listen to it delighted me. Now her twin brothers have become huge fans as well. The love continues.

Bummer! Yeah, I’m still scratching from yesterday. That’s a good story for #TheCampfire coming up on Tuesday October 6. Check out the hashtag to get an idea of the stories. You can write a thread or single post or do a photo and write in alt text. There’s nothing like crazy adventures.

1) A Thread: Larry Rivers, Allen Ginsberg and Me, a story. #thecampfire In the winter of 1986, I was the music director and pianist/conductor for the original Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors in the East Village. One Sunday, between shows, I wandered into a used record store.

Larry, Stomu and me, Southampton late 1990s. Larry's silhouette from To Tell The Truth, 1960's. Don Cherry, Larry and me at The Continental Divide in the east village, 1988 or so. Larry's painting of Allen...

Fishing in the dark at the pier in Bandon 🎣 #AlphabetChallenge + #WeekNForNeon #ECK #WCK #PNW #Pier #Boardwalk #Photography

A night scene features a light sculpture at the pier in Bandon depicting a stick figure fishing. The stick figure, illuminated in bright yellow and orange LED lights, stands on the left side of the pier holding a fishing rod. A long, curved line made of vibrant green LED lights extends out over the dark water toward a glowing blue fish leaping upward. In the background, wooden docks and a footbridge stretch across the calm water under a deep blue night sky.

A walk in the forest in October is pure magic. A carpet of fallen leaves rustles underfoot, and the air is filled with the scent of autumn—the aroma of decaying foliage, damp earth, and freshness.

A cluster of rapidly growing shrooms (nine to be exact) living their best life next to the bark of a moss covered old growth Douglas fir. Green ivy acts as an umbrella of sorts for this group of party shrooms! The earth is covered in pine needles, fallen leaves & random sticks...I don't know if they know their random🥹

In the beginning when I was just noticing fungi along the trail I’d collect some mushrooms and take them home to investigate and I did manage a few haphazard spore prints on paper. Thanks for reminding me. I think I’ll give it another try. How about you? Any success?

Australian researchers Isabel Joy Bear & Richard Grenfell Thomas came up with the term/word 'petrichor'. It is a great word, been trying to use it in a verse for a while. That was my task today. #Verse #Prose #Petrichor #ECK #PoetryCommunity #DroughtBreakingRain #Australiana #Poetry

The image accompanying this piece is of grey and greenish storm clouds.

Text:

Petrichor Intoxication

Earth’s surface lay cracked,
like a shattered window,
crevices widening in
the desiccated air,
the colour green
evaporated long since,
replaced by tanned clay

Clouds of puffed up white,
floated by, unable to change
the thirsting landscape below,
earth slowed its rhythm,
survival mode activated

Woven within the heated air the
Raven’s funereal hymn echoed over
paddocks of shimmering mirages,
the mighty Spotted Gum shed limbs,
deep roots exhausted

night, day, night, day, night, day, night, day

earth’s rotation count lost, as nature waited

With a crack, and a baritone rumble
slate grey-green clouds rolled heavily,
slowly, from the previously vacant sky,
winds teased the clouds,
shaking them from side to side,
demanding a release

One, then another, liquid tears fell,
exploded in puffs of powdered dust,
curtains of rain released upon a
begging earth, nature delirious,
intoxicated by petrichor
