The whole world

Here is our resident "power animal"...a cockateil who knows just how powerful a presence he is. His name is Pacal...he is named after one of the greatest Mayan Lords and shamans from Palenque. He is a master at teaching Walter and myself patience! You do not put Pacal in a cage, or leave him out of the action. He also understands the energies of healing, meditation and ritual and becomes very quiet and fluffy during those times. Feel his presence radiating in this photo. Notice too the beauty and grace of Walter's hand, resting near Pacal...a healing hand.

Ilene is doing a series on the musician Philip Glass. Her reminder that he will be playing in Chicago in October brought me into some reflection. Philip and I are both musicians who create and play from the heart. Our music is very different because we are on different Soul journeys, but we share the process of creating from the unknown and with passion. Sometimes I forget that I am part of a large group of musicians who are sharing their music with the world.....continuing the journey no matter what outer events might happen.
As I celebrate 20 years of creating a business, of composing, recording, teaching, marketing...I celebrate all of the people throughout the world who have purchased my music either as CD or online, and I celebrate all of the people who have made my music a part of their daily lives.

To date probably 20,000+ CDs have sold, and downloads continue to grow also. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

During these twenty years with Mayan Dream Productions, I have experienced illness, a life-threatening car accident, death in my family, and various other events that could have taken me from my music for long periods of time. Walter and I raised children and created a home. Through all of this, because of the support of my own inner world, of the unseen world, of my friends, family and mentors, my music continued to emerge from the Heart of Everything and move into the world.

One of the greatest honors of my life has been the opportunity to create Soul/Deepbody music for people. Those of you who opened your hearts and lives to me in this way so that I could create music for you....you were an awesome gift.

The Vida album continues to move, shape and form. There is free download of one of the tracks called "Love Breathes" on my home page. Please enjoy!

The 20 year celebration continues as a Journey of Joy.

Love.

In the Natural Timing of Things

Hi everyone..... Two weeks ago I recorded the final 10 minutes of the Wisdom Ablaze album, received the digital CD for the artwork of the cover (Ann Beeching original) and the music master is ready to go to National Media. It is part of a three CD series on Wisdom. The Wisdom music began with the album " A Celebration of Life and Love " which was released in 2012.  The third track is called Wisdom, and this album explores the various aspects of living in the warmth of Wisdom Fire:  Dancing in Lightness of Spirit, Sacred Voice, Woven in Gentleness, and A Gentle Touch.  Track three, Wisdom, emerges from Track one: At The Cave, and Track two:  Sunrise. A year later, I completed Wisdom Enters The World In Love . This powerful music again brings the place of the Wisdom Cave (Track one), the Wisdom Mountain (track two)….both sacred places of birth…..then we have the aspects of Wisdom:  (track four) Wisdom Dances the Waters, (track five)Her Gentle Voice, (track six) Fire With

Music supports the world around me

Several weeks ago I received a phone call from a hospice nurse in Honolulu. She had a patient who was dying and listening to The Beloved was the only thing that could calm her down. She later called to say that this person had died peacefully while listening to The Beloved. That is why I do what I do. Creating and performing the music that comes to me is not done to sell music and make sales, but to bring into the world a quality of beauty and connection into the individual's inner world that is transformative. The ducks in this photo were hatched right outside of my mom's front window. The mother duck came out of the marshes to build her nest where mom could see it every day. Aren't they cute! It's amazing the beauty and the joy in nature. My mom is going through an important journey in her life right now, and family is very supportive of her in this time of transition. Thus, you are not hearing as much from me, but we are alive and well. Mayan Dream Producti

The Journey

This photo was taken in a nature preserve in Indiana and it is now covered in snow. We are under a winter storm warning...expecting another "many" inches of snow and it is beautiful. I loved this path because it reminds me of Copan, Honduras. I chose this photo for today's Musings because it calls forth the journey into the unknown which is my life and yours. The economic news yesterday was very bleak.. a couple of million people without work and without health insurance. Many millions more without enough work to actually buy enough food and to pay for the basics of life. The stock market falling....companies closing or downsizing. The political news was bleak....war.....terror....poverty across the world. And yet.....the unknown journey continues. We don't know really what this means. The planet is massively shaking off one form of living life based on an outer and inner masculine structure that created an artificial and very destructive life. The sacred femi
