Three Women

A few months ago, one of the articles from my blog called “The Corsage” was published by another party and sent around the world. This was the third of four that have been used. I always put my email address because I like getting the feedback. Each person has a story and today’s blog is about two women who read that article. The third happened to stumble on my blog and read the poem called “The Subway Musician”.

I have never met any of these women. My guess is that I probably never will, but each responded because she was touched by what I had to write. They, in turn, have touched me with their artistry.

Whatever Marcomé does seems to be first-class. The quality of her website shines through. The second quality you feel is her gentleness. Her following is growing. Once you listen to her music, you can understand why. Like Brazilian soccer players, she goes by only one name. I chuckle and wonder if such an exotic first name is followed by something simple like Smith. Somehow I doubt it.

Jennifer Stackpole, like Marcomé, is an independent musician and actress. Her songs have more of an edge to them, but they are enjoyable.

Finally, there’s Natalia Paruz. As I said, she read “The Subway Musician” and asked if she could put it on her blog. Why? Among other things, she is a subway musician in New York City. She plays the saw. Listen to her. It is really quite amazing.

All three of these women have amazing talent. They are pursuing their dreams and I wish them well. I am writing very little about them for two reasons. I want you to discover them on your own. The real reason is that I really don’t know them that well at all.

What fascinates me it the way the Internet has changed the world. I have been able to touch personally three individuals with my words and, hopefully, make their lives better and they have been able to influence mine in a personal way, too, even though we may never meet. It’s not like hearing a song from somebody. We have sent emails back and forth. This would not have happened thirty years ago and I don’t mean because the women were probably not born. It’s just that today’s world is redefining the spectrum of relationships that can exist. You can share your thoughts with complete strangers.

I have appreciated my contact with these three and I will monitor their progress expecting to see reach their dreams one day.
