"Music and Heaven" was a birthday present from my dear friend, the writer David Morton. It speaks of my love and connection to my favorite place in the world, Tofino, British Columbia, where I feel the most at peace and uninhibited. It begins: "On this sandgrain day / When this great space is squeezed / Between burdening clouds and sandslick flats / ...She celebrates and spurns her driftwood wind-blown age."
