This Is My Symphony

“…To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly … to listen to stars and buds, to babes and sages, with open heart; await occasions, hurry never … this is my symphony.” – William Henry Channing

This is my symphony.  This is my movie.

My life is a musical and I am the principal male dancer.  Something of a superhero in manly tights.  My job to toss lithe nymphs into the air and catch them before they disappear into puffs of angel dust.

A lifeguard at Weeki Wachee, I carried mermaids to the edge of the lagoon.  Dropped them into the water, the smallest silver splashes.

Underwater I played bluesy tenor saxophone and dreamt of growing gills.
