And it’s nice to know that age is no barrier!

Deb, if I knew that the Greeks thought each planet made its own distinct tone, I had forgotten. So thanks for sharing that! I love the phrase “music of the spheres.” What a lovely image.

I did love enjoy every page of this book. It was definitely “its own person.” If anyone reads it, please share your impressions here!

I have always loved the notion the ancient Greeks had of the planets each making it’s own distinctive tone – “music of the spheres” I can’t wait to read it.

Thank you for leading me to it, I do not know if I would have found it otherwise. i’ll let you know.

Last year I was present for a honory award to a woman in her early 90s who ahd her first story published! It is wonderful to see it come to fruition!

I enjoyed seeing your work space in the post below.

But our sentiments are the same! Inspirational post, and congratulations to Mari!

For a man who turned 40 this last year, that is an inspiration to keep working.

Congratulations, Mari!
