Patti, it is always worth it to commit the time to listen to one of your posts. Your gentle and friendly hospitality is restorative in some way.

I also want to dip into that book about Joyce. The "portrait" of him blew my mind. I, too, am a fan, as you say, of the spiral and the divine proportion.

It seems to sort of echo your prayer/wish for Verdi and he for his heroine.
