What is Happening Here?

It's a beautiful summer morning (even though technically the summer solstice is two weeks away). This is the Mother Earth that has inspired so much of my music. Retta and I will be kicking back today and spending most of the day outside....walking, trimming, weeding, planting.

As I sit in my office writing to all of you, I am surrounded by my music and my musical instruments. They are calling to me.....and I am hearing their voice loud and clear. Life is good!

Love to all.

Moving Toward the Time of the Return of Light

 We are at the end of the year 2020 and moving quickly to the winter solstice and the return of Light. My birthday is on the winter solstice, and I will complete my 74th year in this world on that day, and begin my walk through my 75th year.  This last year has been a truly transformative year for our world, as the pandemic altered all of our lives dramatically and completely.  As with all of you,  this year has also been transformative for me.  I have been forced to change old habit patterns because they no longer work in these new times of the pandemic.  I have moved into a space that is focused more inwardly and this means that my inner world has expanded and all of my life is more connected. The Return of Light...the celebration of Christmas and Hanakkah and Kwanza...all are beacons of fiery hope in this time when maybe we are walking into the unknown and don't know what lies ahead.  We trust in Christ the Light....in the light of the menora....and...

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...

December and the Return of Light

Image
As the days grown darker and shorter, we celebrated the super moon a few days ago with its brilliant light.   In just a few weeks the solstice will emerge and the return of light.  Light is always behind the darkness. This snowy pathway is very near my house. As Retta and I walk it, it becomes a journey into the unknown in the winter.   The white covers everything that we would normally see, and our steps can become treacherous. It is a beautiful time of year and I especially treasure those brief encounters with deer and fox and wild turkey when we are walking in the evening. May your pathways always lead you into the power of the unknown.  May your days be peaceful and full of light.  May beauty be in every moment of your life. Happy Solstice....Merry Christmas...Happy Hanukah.
