Summer Sea Breeze

August at Akiko’s is a film that takes place in Hawaii. Variety called it Cool and calming as a summer sea breeze. In other words, it is perfect for this moment. Here is the trailer. Akiko’s Buddhist Bed and Breakfast appears to be a real place, too. One day, I will stay there. I saw the film last week and still often think about it. For me good films have an aftertaste, a lingering quality, a scent that remains… Enjoy!

    Yes, I love Hawaii. I will enjoy that film, and I will probably dream of going to that B&B. Mmmm, the lingering scent of a good film…. Nice!

    Ah!!! But today we drove the Turquoise Trail to Madrid, all windows open enjoying a delicious, balmy New Mexico breeze. I’m so very grateful to live in this heaven. At the “scenic pullout” just after the sign to Galisteo, we sat admiring some magnificent rock outcroppings. I think they were lava mixed with bright sandstone. Natural sculpture! Some Madrid galleries were open, but I missed the usual crowds and bar noises.

    We could not bear to go inside when we got home, so we sat on the porch a while. The sunset clouds were a sheer purple water color wash. At least five different birdsongs were resonating from every direction. The birds gradually began to settle down for their sweet night’s rest.

    Earlier, on the Trail, we listened to your SPANISH SUN. I love “Remba.” Since I was a child, I have listened several thousand times to the Rodrigo CONCIERTO DE ARANJUEZ. “Remba” has the same feeling as the second movement of that piece. Yours is much more fun with the bass and percussion!

    I thought that it was a sanshin I heard being played in movie, along with the music that I knew. Enjoyed the Obon odori, too. This year we will won’t be able to enjoy that as a community. Something to look forward to next year.
