Boy, did we go off theme today! We were talking about all kinds of things, including Canadian things like Mark Carney, Heated Rivalry, Wab Kinew, hockey, diversity, and painted ponies. We talked about people our ages (not old) dying, and how that makes us feel. We need to live well while we can, make a difference where we can. We worried about how it’s sometimes hard to separate art from the artist. We don’t want to support horrible people, but flawed people can create wonderful things.
We saw pieces of our conversations in all of the songs, and it was, as always surprising and interesting. It was a lovely afternoon, spent in lovely company.
My recipe for apple cake converted to muffins very nicely. As is often the case lately, we talked and sang so much that we didn't have time to do a lot of nibbling. My family will benefit from the leftover apple muffins.
Our Earth and Peace theme developed into a life cycle theme, so I guess we were more focused on the people of the Earth than the Earth itself. Next week, we'll do this theme again, we'll stay with this playlist, and we'll see how our focus changes.
