About Cait’s choice of farewell music.

I managed to find all of her choices on YouTube and listen to them. I realised that there was a strong rhythmic beat in most of the music and remembered she played drum music. I never heard her play but she had a drum with animal skin I think and found drumming an expressive way of relaxing. She used her hands to do it and said anyone in the vicinity would have to tolerate the sounds she made..

WILLOWS WEEPING 2010-2014

Many years have passed

since i was entranced

by your golden shimmering branches

mirrored in the rippling river

now damaged and depleted

by fungus, wind and human hand.

But how glorious you were!

And i was driven to reproduce

your splendour with my paintbrush.

Now you’re damaged and depleted

by fungus, wind and human hand.
