What a thought provoking and inspirational post, Viv! I loved your metaphorical use of the Leitmotifs. Recurring musical phrases connecting the score to a story's narrative. An interesting extension of that came to mind. What role might harmony play? What would it add to the narrative? As for your list of possible thematic summaries, I really like 'Flourish.' If one is flourishing in life and love, she has every reason to be happy, healthy, energetic, creative, mindful and at peace. It lends itself to all the things I would want my year to encompass. Your post helped bring me to thoughts that will enrich the year that waits for me around the next several bends in the road. Thank you.
