Photo by Ludovic Péron 
























He’d always believed he’d lived another life before this one. But no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t remember what it was.

He was pretty sure it had something to do with music, though. How else to explain how moved he was every time he heard the opening notes of West Side Story?

    Much music is conducted on birdish wings. Nice 55, PK!

    Good one. I agree with Mary. He's conducting Camille Saint-Saens' "The Swan."
    Or maybe the Birdy Song
