Two stories, or memoirs, today – Joseph Synn Kune Loh’s short story “The Astrologer”, and Transient Epileptic Amnesia by myself – George Bathgate…one is a young man’s encounter at a New Age Conference in Montreal, and the other is one more good reason why you should avoid a life of excessđ

“After receiving a 100 year old BlĂŒthner piano, I became fascinated with its long journey to Mayne Island and Shavasana Gallery. Here is a story of how to sleuth the wandering path of an “accidental” piano.” (to watch a 5 minute compilation video which I made called “11 Pieces for the BlĂŒthner” go here:Â https://youtu.be/f_o4JUtccH8Â )

“We laughed…we cried…we moved. Listen to one family’s journey through dog-barking hell”…October 25, 2022
I should probably be out shovelling snow or Christmas shopping, but I feel compelled to finish posting the last of my Podcasts on this site and on my Shavasana Gallery & CafĂ© website: https://shavasana.ca/ Iâve only got three left until Iâm all caught up, so Iâve put on my heavy winter gear and trudged through the snow-clogged streets to my local Starbucks to complete the task. As Iâve got this process down to a fine art, itâs not terribly difficult, just a little time consuming, which â on this snowy December 20th in Vancouver â seems in short supply. Hereâs the Podcast:
Merry Christmas!đđ

I’m sitting at PureBread CafĂ© in Kitsilano on November 20, 2022 – a full year since I created this Podcast – and just carrying on with my plan to transfer all of my Podcasts onto my Shavasana Gallery website and my Clay and Bone site: https://clayandbone.com/ . It’s not a terribly difficult process, very cut and paste, but, as in many things I do online, I’m only vaguely – if not at all – aware of this reaching anyone or having any grand significance. Actually, as to “grand significance” I think it’s safe to say there is none…but I still feel compelled to continue. If you haven’t already listened to this recording, give it a shot, I think it’s a fun one…đ
