Rhythm of the Rain, Rhythm of the Heart

Ting mikyun! Katot taftxu oel, tompaya kato, txe'lanya kato!

That's Na'vi for "Listen! I weave the rhythm, rhythm of the rain, rhythm of the heart!"

*smiles* I do so enjoy that movie....Avatar. It's seriously a great movie. And the language is real. Oe nume u. (I'm learning it.)

I've even adopted a name in it: Oeru syaw Tiyawn Iknimaya. That means "My name is Tiyawn Iknimaya."

Tiyawn means love, and Iknimaya means stairway to heaven. So basically, my name is the statement: Love is the stairway to heaven.

Anyhow...Mommy finally managed to "play" the clarinet I bought her for Mother's Day. At the very least, she's finally getting some noise out of it.

We're all so excited for her.

But what was not expected, and least of all by me, was that I would be the one to learn to play songs on it first; and within the first day of picking it up. I can play maybe seven songs on it: When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder, Take A Grip, Meet Me By The River, Amazing Grace, The Man From Galilee, and maybe three others that I can't remember the names of any more since this blog was stupid (or maybe I was) by pressing the backspace key just long enough to delete all the songs I had written out...and then my memory decided to try and fail me. But ah well. God is Lord through it all. Thank You Jesus.

So. I've had a great day today; Ms. Hyacinth Hutchinson came over to pick up some bread but stayed and visited with us for a bit while we all tried to make squeaky noises on the clarinet--we had a blast and nearly choked laughing so hard at the faces we had to make in order to get a decent sound out. =)

So. I'll be finishing up cleaning my room tomorrow, and I've got to keep on working on my works....you know about those. *winks*

So, irayo for everything, and God ngahu.

(Thanks for everything, and God be with you).

Love, Tiyawn Iknimaya.
