bravo guys, a wonderful sharing of insights and feelings. knowing all of you, it was great to be a able to "peak behind the curtain" to see your individual expressions of what the creative process is, and means, for each of you. can't wait for "Love, Eleanor!"
So many wonderful nuggets in here. I'd like to comment more, but I think would have too many individual moments to talk about. So, just briefly: "Broken Cycles" -- I love that book. It still holds up as hauntingly beautiful after all these years.
Hey, Steve! I agree. We really do need to work on a hardback reissue of “Broken Cycles”. And I should note that the book also carries one of the finest forewords I’ve read. It holds up too this many years on. Thanks for that!
Wonderful piece on collaboration, literature, photography, film, and detail of the spark within, About journeying to Greece which I have done many times with my husband who is Greek American wih a long history of family in Northern Greece and then Volos. People normally engage most with the light that is so special there. What I noticed most after the years of traveling throughout the islands and all over, is for me it was the sound, how it travels across long distances, voices, wind sound, waves far away, and of course the music. Around winding streets, in coves, rocky shores, an barren hills, Greece is too so much about how sound carries and penetrates. Far after the sun does down. Echo chambers begin with candlelight in windows.
Thanks for your note! You are right about the sound in Greece. When I’m there, I often wake up at sunrise just to take in the sound at that hour. The island where we go has no traffic to blur the natural sounds, so the place has its own voice.
Maybe? Hydra? One of the islands with no traffic, or cars, per say. We love it and stayed several weeks, taking the hike up to the monastery, which was a total experience, so top of the world. And funny on the way down with our rubbery legs. We were laughing so hard. My husband hollered at me a few yards away around a turn, "If I 'sh.t" in my pants, I wouldn't know it." Again about sound. We came off the trail into the back of town (you probably know where) and some actual residents, not tourists, were strolling home from their jobs, through the back streets. So "about the sound." Passing us on tour route to town, many residents were all laughing with us, too. Pretty sure some understood what Nic had screamed and how the sound had carried it to the outer streets where the donkeys rest. Very funny memory. Hope you enjoy.
Sorry, I make typos and such, miss my periods and virgules, etc. I have yet to find the edit button. Juke is special. I will try to take my time with editing before sending my comments. Apologies. But also and most importantly, I enjoy so much the work shared on Juke. Thank you all for it.

Thanks, as always, Tabby! We are at work on Eleanor just this morning. I'm excited to see what emerges for her.

And I can say the same about your introduction to that work, Steve. I hope it is not the last for us.

This is a lovely reflection, Constance. Thank you for sharing.
