“Earth Quilt” drawn and painted with colored pencil and watercolor by Sanford Ross Bender in 1983.

Dissolving dissonance,

Like ephemeral streams,

Quilting prairie terrain,

Meandering,

Through music,

Of my own making.

“Goblin Hot Pot” drawn by Sandy Ross Bender with crayons and colored pencils on red paper a while ago.

Living in art and music is starlight as darkness and its inky blackness thicken and roll out the last glimmers of the day.

And then there is music for the next morning…
