I love that you find the shimmering aspen enchanting, Mark. And I get a vicarious thrill from your descriptions of the Chopin--although that hasn't gotten me any closer to actually petting my own piano.
You'll return to the piano when it calls to you. Don't force it.
Sometimes when I can't face the piano (I'm too tired, I'm no good, it's not worth the trouble) I get inspired by the playing of someone great (YouTube is good for this). That spurs me to overcome my blahs.
it's also easier to stay inspired when you have other people with whom to share the music. It's best if you have another pianist friend (I'm lucky in that I have a piano friend in the Bay Area). It's much harder when you're doing it all on your own.
