17 June 2010. Vorob'ya, tricky to say, beautiful to hear. Russian for sparrow, as in Sparrow Hills, overlooking Moscow. Vorob'yovy Gory...
Names with sounds, lines with meanings, a blunted pencil figuring the form in each curve, understood as gesture, the weight of reaching... His Eye Is On The Sparrow, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, or, holding two young children, the voice of Ethel Waters...
Not skill, but love...
