Valentine Hearts

"Love, unconquerable, Waster of rich men, keeper Of warm lights and all-night vigil In the soft face of a girl: Sea-wanderer, forest-visitor! Even the pure immortals cannot escape you, And mortal man, in his one day's dusk, Trembles before your glory." - Sophocles

My special Valentine's Day vignettes can be listened to on your phone, your tablet or your computer. Please share with the love of your life today and have a very Happy Valentine's Day!

Spring!

"In those vernal seasons of the year, when the air is calm and pleasant, it were an injury and sullenness against Nature not to go out, and see her riches, and partake in her rejoicing with heaven and earth." - Milton [1644]

"The Night is the mother of the Day, The Winter of the Spring, And ever upon the old Decay The greenest mosses cling." - John Greenleaf Whittier

Yes, as one comedian said on Twitter and I paraphrase: "The first day of spring was remarkably like the last day of winter." But winter is now over and we wait for the proof that spring has indeed arrived. Here's one of my most popular webcasts called Transformation.

Beginnings

"The only thing which is not purely mechanical about falling in love is its beginning. Although all those who fall in love do so in the same way, not all fall in love for the same reason. There is no single quality which is universally loved." - Jose Ortega y Gasset

Happy Valentine’s Day

"I love thee with the breath Smiles, tears, of all my life." - Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806 - 1861)

"Whenever I've needed someone to share my joy, or someone to hold me when my world rips to pieces, you're there. And I know you will be - tomorrow, always." - Maya V. Patel (b. 1943)

I was always on the radio on St. Valentine's Day. I hope you remember spending a part of your romantic evening with Lovers and Other Strangers. Please listen to and share these vignettes with the one you love this Valentine's Day. You can listen to them on your phone, tablet or computer.

Here’s a link to a special Valentine’s Day webcast that can only be watched and listened to on your computer.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine Hearts and Flowers

"Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you." - Rose Henniker Heaton from The Perfect Hostess [1931]

“They dined on mince, and slices of quince,  Which they ate with a runcible spoon;  And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,  They danced by the light of the moon.” - Edward Lear

Shadow of Its Former Self

This Halloween-themed webcast may only be a shadow of itself.

[donjacksonheartbeat]

Shadow Self

"You know only A heap of broken images, where the sun beats, And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief, And the dry stone no sound of water. Only There is shadow under this red rock, (Come in under the shadow of this red rock), And I will show you something different from either Your shadow at morning striding behind you Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you; I will show you fear in a handful of dust." - T. S. Eliot in The Waste Land

As we approach Halloween, the shadows lengthen.

This webcast can be found in the shadows.

Masked Halloween Ball

“And, after all, what is a lie? ‘Tis but

 The truth in masquerade.” - Lord Byron in Don Juan

You are cordially invited to a masked ball. You might be surprised to discover who is the under the mask you like the best.

"What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create." - Buddha
