"And for now this sweet day belongs to me..."

Why “Serotine Tunes?"

In A Country Year by Sue Hubbell, when she writes about the trees on her property, she refers to them by their botanical names. One such tree is Prunus Serotina, which means late blooming cherry tree. Being a musical late bloomer, this struck a chord with me.

 

Feeling like a perennial beginner seems be a side effect of that. To combat discouragement when it arises, I prunus my expectationus, and take long walks. When I return, the words of Marie Bashkirtseff welcome me home: “Art is as much of happiness for the beginner as for the master.”
