Tripping to Toledo
I tripped to Toledo
and carried home another harp
to weave a tapestry of trying
to make music
with the strings of my heart.

When it Doesn’t Feel Like Home, and it’s Time to Give Up
“My new harp teacher, Denise Grupp-Verbon, and me.”
In the stillness,
Sandy
My new harp teacher is Denise Grupp-Verbon, member of the Tapestry and mother of The Harp Gathering. I told her I feel way more at home in a gathering of writers than musicians, but still she thinks I might be teachable. I brought home a “foster harp” and will drive to Toledo once a month for lessons. We’ll FaceTime in between. I committed to do this for six months.
Question: Have you ever given something up only to try again? How’d that work out?
Give me your lantern and compass, give me a map,
So I can find my way to the sacred mountain,
to the place of your presence, To enter the place of worship,
meet my exuberant God,
Sing my thanks with a harp,
magnificent God, my God. ~Psalm 43:3 (Message)
