Text of the page (random words):
der myself first and foremost to be a citizen of the world my status as a freelance human being was partly earned a source of deep satisfaction and pride but was enabled mostly by opportunity a source of deep humility and gratitude i do my best to honor this privileged existence by embracing life with compassion courage and generosity my offerings here are the earnest expressions of a serious student of life someone who s been brought to tears by beethoven s ode to joy and pol pot s killing fields and whose first hand experiences have earned him the right and demand of him the responsibility to speak my postings here are at once an expression of gratitude an aspiration to become a better person a celebration of human dignity and potential an embrace of the joys and perils of freedom and responsibility a condemnation of injustice an appeal for global solidarity an affirmation of humanistic values and an invitation to live a deeply examined and meaningful life like a message in a bottle i cast each prayer into the ocean with the sincere hope that it might connect with someone of like heart and mind on some distant shore but before we begin a confession is in order although i declare many things here with unapologetic enthusiasm and conviction i have more questions than answers and am certainly no saint while i do my best to align my behavior with my core values and to transform my rants into meaningful action i fail in many ways big and small almost every day please forgive my imperfections and walk with me for a while special note from frank i m a rather famous cancer patient what they call an exceptional responder being treated for and having survived for many years and counting with three types of advanced cancer and a few other maladies to boot just how terminal i am still to be determined i mention this not looking for sympathy but to let the world know that i m doing remarkably well considering and that i have much to be grateful for and still have lots to live for anyway with the unknown endowment of time and energy i have left i m on an urgent mission to share what i know about life in the hope of inspiring others to be their authentic selves by living with conviction compassion creativity generosity and courage and with the broader hope of tearing down every religious political and socioeconomic wall that divides us this site is just one man s humble and imperfect contribution to those ends thanks for being here loading type your email subscribe share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on whatsapp opens in

there some have moved on died take your pick some are still here what i felt when i first started reading your blog was not so much that you were a dying man but rather someone living more than perhaps 90 percent of all the people i know maybe that s just a phrase and doesn t make much difference in hard everyday reality but it s the honest one to be sure and that s why i ll continue to peruse and read both the light and the dark stuff that you share a life such as yours is the reason i want to keep writing stories there is no deeper inspiration for me than people who have chosen to light a stormlamp for everyone in the night thank you loading reply frank j peter says january 2 2024 at thanks for the most kind words of appreciation christopher you re clearly a person who s seen

advance about being overly ambitious i say go for it cheers annie loading reply frank j peter says january 23 2024 at thanks for the vote of confidence and words of encouragement annie of course my goal is not to offend but to epiphanize in the hope that others might learn what i ve learned the hard way over so many years my only fear is the failure to be absolutely honest come what may keep on

love the internet as it enables all us crazy freelance human beings to find each other by the way i am glad you chose to post a pic of yourself on your avatar and i think i will call you victoria from now on not the impersonal nn glad you are here victoria cheers loading reply davidbaltuch says january 3 2020 at hello frank sorry to write you here about your wonderful youtube explanation on how to play octaves on the piano you are a fabulous and dedicated pedagogue and it is heartening to see how you open eyes and hearts i loved every second of your video and widely smiled when you expected the students to go for world class octaves it s so important that the students feel important may i just suggest two ideas first sorry if this sounds self evident but i think that the 6th component in playing octaves is to know thoroughly the notes to play to be able to anticipate and project all the notes intervals keys involved in a octave passage of course it s true for every passage but i find that it bears a special importance for octaves as hesitation in this case does not only translate into possible mistakes but also probable momentary stiffness the second idea is just the order of events in your video so that your discourse can be assimilated with ease i would go with a thumb b projecting the passage visually aurally and kinesthetically c gravity d extra added almost invisible movements d1 breathing of the hand d2 wrist mobility d3 which may be one of the keys to the problem the slight arm rotation again i would like to stress how much i was feeling engaged looking at your video you are a terrific teacher frank thank you so much david d baltuch skynet be loading reply frank j peter says january 11 202...
