What Do You Say?

Here’s a unique question from (and for) yours truly: “What do you say when you’ve run out of things to say?"

 

I could talk about three beautiful sunny days in Vancouver without a drop of rain. About the unique experience of being at an Orff Conference on a college campus and a beautiful one at that, with paths in the woods going from one workshop to another. I could reflect on the various Canadian Orff Conferences I’ve presented at beginning in Calgary in 1988 and on to Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, Niagara Falls. Or share the pleasure to seeing so many people I know from the various summer courses and workshops I’ve taught all these years in our neighbor to the north. I could mention the perplexity of none of the American presenters coming to any of my workshops nor the screening of my film (and yes, I did go to their workshops). I could share yet again the pleasure of giving three different workshops and each one feeling exactly like the world I want to live in. I could complain about this ongoing dizziness, with a few blessed moments of respite. 

 

But none of that felt like it was worth saying. So what do you say when you have nothing in particular to say? And though I just broke the rule, “nothing” seems the right choice.

 

Have a nice day.
