Oh, the learning that went into THESE layers!

I have a theory that learning, and life, is in the layers. But that, of course, raises the question, layers of what? I have my own opinions on that, but I'll be interested to hear yours.

What follows is a little experiment with layers. It will quickly become clear that I desperately needed a metronome, among other things, and that I still have a lot to learn about Audacity, but it was fun to do nonetheless. How many layers can YOU identify?! ;-) (Note: If you click the play button and nothing happens, try clicking on the volume control on the right-hand end of the bar.)

- An earlier attempt--more successful in some ways, less so in others

P.S. Well, I obviously haven't yet learned ENOUGH because some friends and family just tried to listen and are telling me that the files I've included here aren't working. So, try THIS link instead.

Goodbye

A lifetime of living
And loving
Just doesn't fit
In the package.

The heart, too full.
The tears, too small.
The words, too few
To contain it all.

The loss, too great.
The grief, too new.
The wait, too long.
Dee, I'll miss you.

The Power of Play . . . Again!

It occurs to me that learning should be joyful. We structure the life out of it. I say smash the structure, liberate the ideas!
