MAY I CALL YOU “SEBASTIAN”? 28 April 2012 Ten years to the day since my beloved Flicka-horse went to Heaven, and deeply immersed in heart-scraping melancholy and my work this night, and Bach with silver trills and finely honed notes singly and collectively melting a pathway deep into my memories of Flicka and Daisy-dog and Tigger-cat both there with Flicka and way, way back to earliest childhood where music and beauty and deep thoughts and games with rules unknown to any but me and crafting of memories were ingrained in my pre-school self without articulation, neither then nor now but remembered with the ache of loss and tender reminiscence. Sebastian, if I may call you that, Mr Bach, how did you know my heart so well? Seeing you know me so intimately, you will understand the depth of my thank you. Owl |

"... remembered with the ache of loss and tender reminiscence." Fine write ! (Bach is my personal favorite ... particularly harpsichord with the 18th. century tuning) |

Sebastian, if I may call you that, Mr Bach, how did you know my heart so well? Seeing you know me so intimately, you will understand the depth of my thank you. What a wonderful tribute to one whose music is timeless! I think he'd be honored to make your acquaintance! *S* |

Thank you, Ida for the understanding hug. Giggles, I am sure Bach will be a little surprised, but that he will appreciate his immensely too! Thank you Ruth for your kind words. Yes, it is so easy to get lost in his music. Giggles at the idea of Bach being honoured to make my acquaintance! Owl |

I am sure he would say, "You're wish is granted, m'dear" and bow deeply. Oh, how music goes straight to our soul! |

Perhaps, Karilea . . . but it is good to imagine he would. Smiles. Owl |

Wow, James! Thank you with much appreciation from Flicka, Daisy, Tigger, me - and I do believe, Sebastian himself! Owl |
