<p>The natives spell the name of this underwater cavern, or 'cenote,' Chac Mool.  Perhaps Chac Mol is an American concept of its spelling
I would like to thank my Facebook friend, whom I shall call Ms. Torres for now, for allowing me to use her beautiful photos of Chac Mool for this website, now posted!  :-)  I'm so glad she friended me back in April.  She is a brilliant, bilingual woman who writes about diving for online sources.  You can see a picture of her as she swims in Chac Mool without any diving…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/anita-s-old-blog/blog/6133135/some-other-photos-of-chac-mol-chac-mool">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>I am very excited to have suddenly realized that I have other photographs of Chac Mol (Chac Mool), the aforementioned cenote in Mexico, that illustrate the beauty of this underwater cavern.  While they are wonderful photographs, they are very different in composition than the photograph that inspired some very beautiful musical sketches.  However, closer examination of rock formations reveals that one is, in fact, shot from nearly the same location as the one that is taped to the wall next to my piano

<p>When I was younger and spending my life at our ocean-front property at 62 Central Ave in Salisbury, MA, I always told myself that it was important to take a lesson from one of my favorite movies and remember that "if I'm ever looking to fill my heart's discontent...well I won't look any further than my own back yard,"  (which at the time was sand, leading to the state beach)
Tonight, as a twenty-odd year resident of Nyack, NY, I suddenly realized that I once again need not look ANY further than "my own…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/anita-s-old-blog/blog/6133133/there-s-no-place-like-home">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>A gift from somewhere...the Universe I suppose.  The inspired idea is that which comes without inner dialogue and for no apparent reason.  It reaches you deep inside your soul, speaks softly in your inner ear, guides you by the nose, makes you laugh, makes you cry and if you listen closely enough, it starts screaming at you, instructing you as to what to do next.  Shall I play it again?  Shall I grope a little longer at the piano?  What note should come next?  Shall I write it down contiguously so I don't…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/anita-s-old-blog/blog/6133131/the-inspired-idea">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>With a recent flurry of inspired musical sketches, I have found myself embarking upon a project for an extended work in three movements; a triptych of symphonic poems for my jazz orchestra
Symphonic Poem:   A one-movement orchestral form that develops a poetic idea, suggests a scene or creates a mood
Triptych:  A set of three associated artistic, literary or musical works intended to be appreciated together.
