A soft evening

Usually I write my Musings in the early morning, with my cup of coffee in hand. But here we are in the evening. It is dark and my evening cup of coffee is at my side....hot and strong. The air is soft and cool and I can hear the rustling of little creatures in the bushes outside my window. For some reason, I have been called here to write at a time that I would usually be sleeping. Hmmm....

Early this morning as I was looking out my open office window, a rabbit was looking back in at me, totally unafraid. We had quite a conversation. These are the things I remember as a felt sense when I begin to write music about Mother Earth.

Today was a high energy day for writing. As I sat down at my computer, words that describe our relationship to The Beloved began to pour out. The music of The Beloved is being featured this month and I wanted to share a greater depth of my own understanding of love....being loved....being in search of the Beloved....being the Beloved. Just as I compose when I sit down at my Kurzweil, I began to write when I sat down at the computer. This flow of creativity is effortless, but also cannot be demanded. It comes in it's own timing, and today was the day. Evidently, tonight is also in the flow, because here I am!

The June newsletter with my writing on the Beloved is on my website if you click on the Beloved cover icon. If the new writing does not show up, refresh your browser. It is showing up this evening for me on Firefox, but not yet on Safari. That is the difference of the time it takes two different browsers to refresh.

At the end of May I left a music position that I had held for many, many years. This music position came with an outer paycheck and an extraordinary amount of demands on my time and energy. I loved so much of this music position because it involved working with hundreds of volunteers and I love working with people. It also kept me in music for most of the hours of my day. However, the timing was no longer there for this outer position. Between that position, and my own business of Mayan Dream Productions, I was rather completely engaged with work all the time. Now, I have all of my time and energy focused on my own original music with no outer distractions. That is a blessing and a gift for me. I am SO grateful!

Much love to all of you!

Hi Beverly, Thank you for your musing at this later hour than normal. I am sitting here keeping a distant eye on a gaggle of teens as they enjoy s'mores around the fire pit. That on top of a very busy day had me ready and in need of your 'soft evening' message to soften my own space and settle in to the Beloved's presence in each moment...even this very tired one. Sweet dreams to you tonight. Love, Ellen

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
