“New Sounds.”
-Thea Farhadian
Thank you Thea-- Such a clear evening! What is the music? It's been a while since I've seen silhouettes along the shoreline there. It used to be such a magical moment - a gentle gathering at the end of the day- Fraught for so long now, it's a little jarring. A hesitating welcome, I realize I'm still holding my breath.
