Life Continues

September is on its way with its change of seasons.....announced with storms to bring the cooler weather. Birds begin to flock for their flights south. Spring and summer flowers give way to mums and asters and other flowers of the Autumn season. The air feels crisp and the light begins to change texture.

Ancient/Future Symphony will be the featured album for the month of September. This is my favorite music of all the music that I have composed and recorded. And.....the total album was recorded within 8 hours of studio time! Obviously Ancient/Future Symphony already existed as part of me, and I simply had to open up and let the music flow.

This blog writing is called Life Continues and Ancient/Future Symphony is a celebration of life beyond our life in physical form. We are spirit, we come into physical form, and we return to spirit. Our life force extends through generations. Everyone has a different idea of what "spirit" means, and what our life here on earth is all about. However, when I see the awesome soul in my newly born grandchildren and watch them grow into unique creative human beings, I have to believe that we come into this world with a particular purpose, and that our lives have meaning. We are important to the tapestry of a much larger picture than my mind can even begin to comprehend. Ancient/Future Symphony celebrates all of this through an indigenous, Mayan perspective with drum, Mayan coyote flute, nature from the Mayan lands, and all wrapped up in the symphonic music that comes from my heart.

At this time in 2012, I am a companion to my mother in her final journey from physical form into pure spirit. She has lived a life of beauty of spirit and openness of mind. She was an artist and carried on the family gift of creating paintings, stained glass, and embroidered art. She cared deeply about other people and issues of social justice....working in leadership positions in Labach Literacy (teaching reading to adults), gave retreats in prisons, chaired the Scottish Society and the list goes on. She will live on through her art, the many people whose lives she has touched, and through her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. With my love.
