#grieving
The Telephone of the Wind was created in Japan by Itaru Sasaki, while grieving his cousin who died of cancer. He purchased an old-fashioned phone booth and set it up in his garden. He installed an obsolete rotary phone not connected to wires or any "earthly system." Here, Itaru felt a continued connection to his cousin and found comfort and healing amid his grief. Itaru gave his phone booth a name, Kaze No Denwa (風の電話), Telephone of the Wind.

I am trying to find a steel septum tusk like this one, which I bought in the U.S. about 15 years ago.

It is about 64mm long (2.5 inch) and this one is 2.5mm (10-gauge) in the notch and 3.0mm (8-gauge) outside of the notch. I would like to be able to buy more of this same size, also longer (~75mm or 3-inch, maybe ~88mm or 3.5 inch) and perhaps also heavier (3.0 mm/8g in the notch and 3.5 mm or 4.0 mm/6g outside the notch).

I think mine was made by Body Circle, but they've discontinued them. I cannot seem to find any other source. I find some pages from the States when I search, but they all say "discontinued/no stock" when I visit the page or try to order. I would buy from a source in Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia...anywhere, really, with good quality. Can anyone offer a pointer?

Otherwise: can anyone recommend a shop or crafter who can make such a thing?

I'm not the Paul Taylor who came up to me in the pub and said "Are you Paul Taylor? Me too!"

The voices I heard were from...

Partners in love and songwriting, @jgerhardtmusic (she/her) and @arendleejessurun (they/them) are the indie folk duo, Tupesto. They craft songs honoring the dead, confronting injustice, and turning the prism of love

That song was "Into the Light"

I was working on the farm this morning and heard familiar voices in one of the songs ringing from the main greenhouse.

I always share my music finds with everyone I know. It is the easiest way for others to know and understand who you are.

I was surprised to hear something I shared with a co-worker to be in their playlist… and being played!

Anyway, it is a beautiful song. The lyrics, voices, instruments and production are just beautiful.

It was a wonderful start to rough day on the farm.
