went to esplanade library to study yesterday after the hospitality talk. there was this woman working on her artwork on a blank wall. she used two shades of brown to write lyrics of two songs by kurt elling: beauty of all things and the waltz. it's so beautiful i can't just describe it. go see it for urself and you'd understand. anw, that made me and guin go look up kurt elling's songs. they all have beautiful lyrics. here's one:

Where Are You, My Love?
Where is your heart, my love?
I can’t believe you’ would forget
I haven’t finished with love yet
And I’m wondering where, where can you be?

I still see your smile in my memories and photographs
Pictures of hand holding laughter
I guess there’s more that you're after
But you're teaching my songs to cry

Making love with you was easy, it was a thrill
And I guess that’s how it goes, hearts break every day
I just thought you’d go just a bit more gently
And I hoped you’d pick up the telephone if I called

My angel, where can you be? You have flown out
Out of time, out of love, out of my arms
Leaving me with a heart full of empty
So where baby, where are you?

And now, starting now and my whole life through
Must I go on just pretending, where is my happy ending?
All I wanted to play from long ago was your true love Romeo
I need you baby, but darling where, baby, where are you?
Where are you? Where is the dream we started?
