*The Staghorn Sumac & Vivaldi's Autumn*


This week, a new translation from the
Italian [with intro & poster]:

Autumn

The peasants celebrate the pleasures of fall,
Great bountiful harvest with dance and song,
So fortified by wine of Bacchus all
They end their feast with sleep deep and long.

From songs and dances they all have done
As a gentle breeze tempers delight.
`Tis the season that invites all and one
To that sweetest of pleasures found in dream at night.

The hunters depart with the coming of first light
With horns and muskets and dogs they are led.
And chase the wild game, its trail in their sight.

The beast is frightened by the noise overhead
Of muskets and dogs—wounded, still threatens to fight
And stand and flee, but overwhelmed, it falls and is dead.

Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) (tr. Cliff Crego)
(Sonnet used in Vivaldi's Op. 8 No. 3,
Concerto III of The Four Seasons)

Featured Picture/Poem Essay:


*ON THE TWIN GUIDEPOSTS OF YOGA &
THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE
*

"In this brief sketch or outline, I'd like to suggest that the
twin guideposts of all learning and education are Yoga
and the Alexander Technique. Why? Because Yoga forms
the life-long practice of learning to work and move and do
things without force. And the Alexander Technique (AT)
forms the complementary life-long practice of learning to
work and move and do things without unnecessary tension.
So we have movement without force, and we have movement
without unnecessary tension." [,,,]

*BLUE MOUNTAIN BUTTERCUP (Ranunculus populago)

http://cs-music.com/features/photos/ranunculus-populago_6-30-0.html


*SCOTCH THISTLE (Onopordum acanthium)*

Scotch Thistle is native of the Mediterranean region that has become
a weed of the Northwest, even though it cannot compete with native
perennial grasses. After overgrazing and the concomitant colonization by
non-native annuals like Cheatgrass—a phenomenon I have witnessed
mile after mile as far as the eye can see in North Dakota, Montana,
Alberta Canada, Idaho and Oregon—a window of opportunity
opens for non-native species like Scotch Thistle.
