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.</b></p><p><b>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 all of the traditions of light throughout the planet, that Light always overcomes darkness.</b></p><p><b>My journey through my coming 75th year (three quarters of a century!) will move through the coming intensity of the first three months of the year which are the peak of the pandemic, and into the warmth and light of summer with a new life emerging....and then into the new outer journey of music in the Autumn and Winter, Yes, there is new music coming!</b></p><p><b>My work also with the Catholic Church and music also takes on new depth and new growth. The focus is definitely Light overcomes darkness, Hope overcomes despair, Love is a force that underlies everything we are and everything we do.</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><b><br /></b><p><b><br /></b></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664294856949548964.post-87935229788864938522019-02-26T16:37:00.000-08:002019-02-27T15:34:28.544-08:00The Vibration of Wisdom and the HeartI sit here on a very cold February evening, with my cup of hot coffee next to me<br />
and my heater keeping my feet warm. <br />
<br />
We are all beings of light and our unique light weaves the world into the vibration<br />
of wisdom and of the heart. This is always happening when we are in the support<br />
of our light, and connected fully into our hearts and into wisdom. I love the connection<br />
with all of your lights as we connect through my music and my writing. <br />

This week I have reinstated my order page on my own website to make it so much easier<br />
for everyone to order. It will be active beginning Friday, March 1. CDBaby is a lovely distribution company, but I treasure the connection one-to-one with you, my listener. So, after March 1, check it out. Just go the order tab at the top of the home page, and click on it. It will send you directly to my order page. You can read about each individual CD, and listen to parts of every track.<br />
<br />
Spring is coming to Indiana soon! <br />

We have had a very tough winter here, but the winds and the snow and the ice have their own special beauty. The air is crisp and clean today.....all the toxins blown away by 64 mile per hour wind gusts on Sunday. Walking Retta (my dog) during the snows was cold and slippery, but a real pleasure.<br />

We began this journey in 1987 when I first began to compose the album Mayan Dream, followed by The Beloved. This was a very exciting time because until 1987 I had no idea that I was going to compose music. I fell in love with the recording studio, my Kurzweil, and the music inspired by the Mayan sacred culture of ancient times, and of the music of healing and transformation.<br />
<br />
Now in 2019, Wisdom Ablaze is two years old and it completes a cycle of 16 albums. All of my music is music of light and of light alive in the world. I have loved creating every note of this music!<br />
<br />
Where is the next cycle of 10 years leading me and Mayan Dream Productions? I am certainly continuing the love of recording and the action of fire in the world. <br />
<br />
As we celebrate the Winter Solstice and the new year 2019, I wish all of you light and joy!<br />

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.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Happy Solstice....Merry Christmas...Happy Hanukah.<br />

In 1987 I traveled for the first time into the Mayan lands of Mexico and Central America. Little did I know that this trip would change my musical life profoundly. My experience with the sacred lands of the Maya ignited original music in me that over the last 30 years has resulted in 16 published CDs, 2 albums that are only available for download and 40+ original albums composed for individuals.<br />
<br />
My experiences also led to my business of Mayan Dream Productions and 28 years of relationship with all of you who read Musings, or listen to my music. I treasure these relationships. They have enriched my life enormously.<br />
<br />
As I close this 30 year cycle, and begin the next cycle, I am listening to one of my download albums which is called Atitlan Fire. The link to this album is on the downloads site of my website. However, to make it really easy, here is the direct link to Atitlan Fire for you. <a href="http://www.mayandream.com/md515_albumatitlan.html">http://www.mayandream.com/md515_albumatitlan.html</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">To celebrate the completion of 30 years, I am offering my CDs at a special reduced price for everyone. This special price will begin on July 15th and extend through July 31st. This is my way of saying thank you to all of you. Beginning July 15th all CDs will be $5.00 each plus shipping and handling of $5.95 per order. Basically, this is selling at cost.....and will only be available for the next 16 days. </span></span><br />

It is the ever-changing language of music distribution. When I receive a monthly statement of deposit for online sales now, it is mostly for streaming my music. There is always some downloading of albums or tracks of albums, but downloading CDs and tracks of CDs is becoming a thing of the past.<br />
<br />
We will be taking the links down from our website that directly linked you, the customer, to i-tunes<br />
to download my albums and tracks from my albums. I-tunes will no longer allow links from websites. They are focused on streaming and want everyone to change from downloading to streaming. Very interesting!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, my customers have to go directly to i-tunes and search for my name. Everything is there but it is harder for you to get to me to download from i-tunes.<br />
<br />
There are over 50 other digital sites that hold my music. Some of the most popular that are attracting people to my music are I-tunes Canada, i-tunes Match Americas, Spotify, Yandex, Google Music Store, Amazon US Premium Service, i-tunes Switzerland, Rhapsody, i-tunes Australia, i-tunes Japan, i-tunes India, and Rhumblefish. These are all digital ways that people do access and listen to my music. Without digital download and streaming, these people would never hear me.<br />
<br />
Wisdom moves through technology just as it moves through all other parts of life. That spirit is co-creating with all of us to bring a whole new technological world of connection into being.<br />
<br />
It is an important part of the weaving that binds us all together. <br />

That doesn't mean that you are not always in my awareness as I live my daily life. Wisdom is at your core as light and it shines out and joins my core of light Wisdom. We are one.<br />
<br />
The month of December was a transforming time of body, mind and spirit for me. The Winter Solstice is my birthday, and this year it was my 70th birthday. It was also the integration time of the new Wisdom Ablaze album in my body, mind and spirit; and also a month of a large concert with about 100 people involved as musicians and a beautiful and inspired audience of about 400. All of this together brought me into a newness of life. How cool is that!!<br />
<br />
This new wisdom body, mind and spirit is still growing with me. My outer activities have had to change as my inner world changed. Many things are simplifying so that I can become larger.<br />
Meanwhile, January is the month of inventory, and taxes and people and businesses ordering music so that they have it in their own inventory for the coming workshop season.<br />
<br />
No matter what is going on in my inner and outer worlds, Wisdom is always at the core. When I am struggling...it's there. When life is awesome and joyful...it's there.<br />

Here in Northern Indiana it was very warm a few days ago and then yesterday is dropped 30 degrees and a beautiful snow arrived with large flakes. This photo is from late yesterday afternoon as I walked Retta in the snow. Today it is very, very cold and we have ice and about 3 inches of snow on the ground. Then in a few days it will be back up to the high 50s. Crazy weather! But wisdom is at the core of the snow and the rain and the wind and the ice and the warmth and the cold. All are alive in wisdom. How cool is that!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664294856949548964.post-84254745056117696172016-11-18T03:40:00.002-08:002016-11-19T05:26:32.898-08:00New Video and music now on i-tunes for your download<i> </i>The ongoing saga of a wisdom composer and performer.....<i>Wisdom Ablaze is blazing out into the world!</i><br />

There is a beautiful new video up on You Tube which has the music of track one: "We Call Forth Wisdom". Here is the link: <a href="https://youtu.be/ivEK2ZMdIZU">https://youtu.be/ivEK2ZMdIZU</a>. Tom Tempel has taken the photography of the trees that inspired this music, and the flutes that played, and has used technology to "open up" the five sensory world into the world of wisdom. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
Here is the link also of the first video of Wisdom Ablaze music published in October:<br />
<a href="https://youtu.be/3OPXiZsCfJs">https://youtu.be/3OPXiZsCfJs </a><br />
<br />
Jean in California loves <i>Wisdom Ablaze</i>. She says: <i>"The Beloved has always been my favorite of your music, but now I think that Wisdom Ablaze is going to move to the top of my favorites."</i><br />
<br />
I personally keep <i>Wisdom Ablaze</i> in my car CD player and this music plays everywhere I go.<br />
If I am in a five-sensory space and not in the place of wisdom, this music moves me instantly into that wisdom place. Perceptions change into a larger and more inclusive place. If my body is hurting, Wisdom Ablaze may not stop the hurting, but the music holds me in wisdom and allows a more holistic and ensouled self to emerge with a soulful set of perceptions.<br />
<br />
This little coyote flute plays on many tracks in <i>Wisdom Ablaze</i>. <br />

HEART OF SKY…..track two of Wisdom Ablaze was captured in this sky photograph © Beverly.<br />
<br />
This last week I gave a copy of Wisdom Ablaze to my friend who cleans our carpets. He has a fire pit in his back yard and spent three hours Thursday evening, in his words "Jammin' at the fire pit with Wisdom Ablaze.<br />
<br />
This is the livingness of this powerful music.<br />
<br />
CD Baby (based in Portland, Oregon) is now advertising Wisdom Ablaze on it's website: <i>"We here at CD Baby have got pretty good memories. And we just remembered that at some point in the not-too-distant past you purchased music by Beverly Rieger. </i><i>We commend your impeccable musical taste and wanted to let you know that Beverly Rieger has a brand new release out now. It just went live on our website for sale. And we just had to let you know FIRST since you're one of the few hip and wise people who "knew them way back when. </i><i>It is called Wisdom Ablaze.</i>" Here is the link to a beautiful new page that they created to feature Wisdom Ablaze: <a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/beverlyrieger10">http://cdbaby.com/cd/beverlyrieger10</a>.<br />
<br />
I want to thank Conrad for placing the link on this blog to the first of two videos created from the Wisdom Ablaze music and my photographs. <br />
<br />
The second video is almost complete and features We <i>Call Forth Wisdom,</i> Track 1. Tom Tempel is the creator of both videos…collaborating with WISDOM and my music to create a beautiful meditation featuring the forest that inspired this first track.<br />
<br />
I also want to thank Ellen Sauer for her wonderful interview of me posted on her blog, and for also connecting the world with my music. She is an awesome writer and artist. Here is her website link: <a href="https://ellencsauer.wordpress.com/2016/05/30/creativity-an-interview-with-beverly-rieger/?preview_id=61971&preview_nonce=d6895ed8cf&_thumbnail_id=-1&preview=true">https://ellencsauer.wordpress.com/2016/05/30/creativity-an-interview-with-beverly-rieger/?preview_id=61971&preview_nonce=d6895ed8cf&_thumbnail_id=-1&preview=true</a><br />
<br />
For me it is so important that Wisdom Ablaze be heard...listened to....played on the airways. Wisdom music has the power to make a huge difference in our world. I am joined by all artists, teachers, musicians and all of you who are reading this blog and work from the place of heart to be in the world in action, in wisdom.<br />

We have the most beautiful colors and the crisp air of the first frost to revel in! I took the photo on your right as I looked down from the top of a dune in Fox Island onto Retta in the dappled sunlight. Notice the pink rays of the sun. Hmmm...isn't that amazing!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The second photo was captured as I looked up into the trees in the late afternoon as the sun was illuminating the golden leaves. They were brilliant in the sunshine.<br />
<br />
Looking down....looking up....seeing wisdom manifesting in profound beauty in ways that I often do not see. I can be focused only on the things that are right in front of me....not seeing the larger picture. Can anyone else relate to that?? Retta is the one who brings me into these walks, and brings me into the larger vision so often. This is Wisdom Ablaze! in all of nature. <br />

The full moon is shining in a soft warm air...while a few clouds are blown across the moonlit sky. The leaves on the silver maple are just starting to turn and in the moonlight, some are glowing red...all are glowing silver on their undersides. It's mid-October and we are expecting 83 degrees for the high today. Because of the warm Autumn, all of our flowers are still in full bloom, and also glowing in the moonlight.<br />
<br />
As usual, I have my trusty cup of coffee at hand as I write Musings this morning. Retta is keeping me company on the nearby couch.....soundly sleeping in doggy contentment.<br />
<br />

What will this week bring? <br />
<br />
There are two new music videos coming in the mid-week. One of them features the photos that I took of the forest trees that inspired the first track of <i>Wisdom Ablaze</i>. So, you can watch the video, listen to the music of <i>We Call Forth Wisdom</i>, and experience the forest impacting you with it's wisdom beauty.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn3zRMn20C7kOPa3ssk3QtlYKVLqqiECle4yt5sOhBXabNxvfa-IK9nnCiAG9JLzIVOeapThYaWyA7iFGywjrrX1KT9DKyTtejjTteNOtvtzT-B6QPNXw3lnm-jo299tutTlSl-_7h4_A/s1600/IMG_0699.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn3zRMn20C7kOPa3ssk3QtlYKVLqqiECle4yt5sOhBXabNxvfa-IK9nnCiAG9JLzIVOeapThYaWyA7iFGywjrrX1KT9DKyTtejjTteNOtvtzT-B6QPNXw3lnm-jo299tutTlSl-_7h4_A/s320/IMG_0699.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The other video is <i>Wisdom's Fire Within</i>......inspired by my own experience at Fox Island where the pear trees were dropping petals on the ground and they were glowing white with their interior fire. I captured this essence with photos, and now you can experience this inner white fire and the music on the Video.<br />
<br />

Why would you want to purchase and listen to the music of Wisdom Ablaze?<br />
<br />
Well........These are really difficult times in our world. Our world is struggling to find it's center. <br />
<br />
We need strength, joy, compassion, love in our lives in a special way at this time in our world. We can make a difference!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Most of us have experienced the beautiful place of joy, love, compassion many times in our lives, and we have extended these wisdom qualities to other around us. This is so important NOW. And....my music supports your powerful ability for good in this lifetime.<br />
<br />
Listen to this new music of <i>Wisdom Ablaze</i> and let it support you! This is my desire for all of you, and my own way of making a difference in our world towards wholeness. <br />
<br />
The one thing that surprised me in my own music was that <i>Wisdom Ablaze</i> is the peaceful, gentle music that it is. The fire that is wisdom is not a destructive force, but a warming and transcendent force. It transforms, but does not destroy. The <i>Wisdom Ablaze</i> music helps bring the world from a fractured and souless state of hate, violence, lies, etc. into a place of compassion, love, joy, gentleness, kindness, strength. <br />
<br />
This is why Wisdom Ablaze has been brought into the world now. Wisdom is being brought forward through many, many artists, musicians, teachers, etc in this time frame. Our world needs this desperately now. <br />

<br />
Two weeks ago I recorded the final 10 minutes of the <i>Wisdom Ablaze</i> 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.<br />
<br />
The Wisdom music began with the album "<i>A Celebration of Life and Love</i>" 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.<br />
<br />
A year later, I completed <i>Wisdom Enters The World In Love</i>. 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 Within, and (track seven) Wisdom's Evening Call.<br />
<br />
Obviously the Fire Being that is Wisdom is a dancing Spirit and a gentle fire.<br />
<br />
Two years later……here we go with the third Wisdom album!<br />
<br />
<i>Wisdom Ablaze</i> began it's birthing process in 2015. Ann Beeching created the original artwork for the cover…a year long process. And, over the last year and a half, I have experienced much physical and spiritual change in order to record this album. But…..here we are! The music master is complete!<br />
We have seven tracks: (1) We Call Forth Wisdom, (2) Wisdom Sings Heart of Sky, (3) Wisdom Sings Heart of Earth, (4) Gaia's Love Song, (5) Wisdom's Fire Within, (6) Heart of Wisdom, (7) Dancing Wisdom Ablaze in the World. The graphic design for the album is also complete. Susan Stamm is the graphic designer for this album, and for the other 15 albums that have emerged through my almost 30 years of creating original music. That is a lot of graphic design, and she has done beautiful work for these albums. Thank you, Susan.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #274e13;"> Wisdom Fire is at the core of our being, and emerges to bring it's warmth to all whom we touch by our presence. It is gentle, it is active, it is at the core of earth and sky, and our hearts, and it is dancing into the world through us.</span></i><br />
<br />
National Media will duplicate the album for me in this coming week. It takes two weeks for this process. In the meantime, we will explore Wisdom through the process of advertising...making this new album known to the larger world.<br />
<br />
On another related subject: Ellen Sauer has a beautiful blog, and she posted an interview with me on that blog a few weeks ago. Here is the link: https://ellensauer.com/2016/05/30/creativity-an-interview-with-beverly-rieger/<br />

Events of today remind me of the years of the 60s and 70s.<br />
History is repeating itself. If you are old enough, you remember with me the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy; the Kent State riots and subsequent killing of Kent State students; and the Vietnam War. Planes were hijacked. We were also under the constant threat of nuclear war…and felt always that it could happen. Today we have terrorist bombings and killing of innocents of all races and religions. <br />
<br />
In the midst of chaos, I am reminded by my own music to choose to listen to the voice of Wisdom. <br />
Wisdom (God) has formed all physical life on this planet, and that spiritual reality is always there no matter what I may perceive as five-sensory reality. <br />
<br />
When I feel powerless to do anything about the violence and hatred that is being expressed in our time, I am reminded by my own music that the vibration of Wisdom and Love is being sent out into the world just by my own making of music that carries this vibration. That would of course be true for everyone who creates from the Creator of Love and Wisdom. Just the act of creation from this space effects change for the world into love.<br />
<br />
It's been six weeks since I wrote…..life has been very busy with beautiful family events…high school graduations, retirement parties for Walt, and a lovely visit to family in Philadelphia. July is also always the time for six month inventory for Mayan Dream Productions, and for a rest into the peace of nature in the middle of summer heat. I love the fire of the sun of July with its direct light and warmth.<br />
<br />
Peace!<br />

<br />
Before, however, I can release it to all of you, I need to listen and feel it myself for a few weeks.<br />
The description is not available to me yet, and I know that I will be writing a leaflet to accompany the CD. There is a wonderful story of this album's music, and also the album "Wisdom Enters The World In Love" music which was released in 2013. Together, these two albums form a two-part symphony.<br />
<br />
Here is the final artwork which Ann Beeching painted for the Wisdom Ablaze cover artwork.<br />

All six tracks are "out in the world" now and just awaiting the final levels and depth of potential that will happen over the next weeks.<br />
<br />
Wisdom Ablaze has been within me for about a year. It is like being pregnant and experiencing the joy and the unknown of having a life within that is growing….and then finally giving birth. It changes the mother profoundly, and this music changed me profoundly.<br />
<br />
One of the joyful things about creating this music was the playing of the Mayan flutes in our time<br />
and in this place. They were full of life and sing throughout this album. <br />
<br />
Nature plays a large role also in this album. My own recordings of bird song from the Mayan lands of Central America are on track four. Tom Tempel has recorded water, wind, frogs, ducks and they are all present here in this music also. In track three (Wisdom Sings Heart of Earth) wolf song duets with one of the ancient flutes.<br />
<br />
Tracks:<br />
Track one: Wisdom Ablaze<br />
Track two: Wisdom Sings Heart of Sky<br />
Track three: Wisdom Sings Heart of Earth<br />
Track four: Gaias' Love Song<br />
Track five: Wisdoms' Fire Within<br />
Track six: Heart of Wisdom<br />
<br />
More later. I can't wait to find out what the final version will be! Love to all.<br />

I was musing today on the almost 30 years since Mayan Dream Productions was ignited as a fire within me. Amazing!<br />
<br />
We continue this joyful journey with deep thanks for all who have been a part for these many years.<br />
Some of you since 1987, and some new....experiencing The Beloved, or The Journey of Joy for the first time.<br />
<br />
The first three tracks of Wisdom Ablaze are complete. I expect to record the next three tracks within this month of May. Ann Beeching has the artwork for the cover almost complete and it is awesome!<br />
I can't wait to show it to all of you.<br />

It is early in the morning on January 7th and I write this morning with deep appreciation for the gifts of the year 2015 that is complete. Now we are walking into the light of 2016 (already one week into the year!) and it feels like this year will be highly creative.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The new album, <i>Wisdom Ablaze</i>, will be coming sometime in this Spring. Ann Beeching is doing the art for the cover of this new album.

MUCH LOVE TO ALL!

July just sped by and now we are in August almost at the time of harvest here in the Midwest. WOW! <br />
<br />
<br />
The end of July is always another time of taking inventory both physically and energetically. We do this in July and in December. This inventory begins to build the next layer on our Mayan Dream Productions pyramid of light. For those of you who traveled with me into the sacred Mayan lands of Central America and explored the pyramids, you know that they were build layer upon layer…and sometimes the old pyramids were closed….and the energy was used to build the next pyramid upon the old pyramid. That has always been my model for this business. <br />
<br />
<br />
I hope that you had time to download the new free music <i>Wisdom's White Fire </i>and <i>Wisdom Ablaze In Deep Green. </i>If you missed these new pieces of wisdom music, just go to my home page and click on the downloads link at the top of the page. <br />
<br />
<br />
For all of you on the West Coast who are experiencing extreme drought, extreme heat and the fires that result from these conditions, know that you are being held in light and in love. <br />
<br />
<br />
The July sale for distributors is now ended. I look forward to our continuing relationship and support deeply the healing work that you do. <br /> <br />
<br />
AND….Thank you to all who listen to my music…you have no idea probably how much love flows back to me and how much I appreciate that in my daily life. You give me strength and inspiration to continue on the journey. Thank you!<br />
<br />
In light and love. Beverly.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664294856949548964.post-1098168744269903922015-07-11T00:53:00.001-07:002015-07-11T01:12:04.253-07:00Wisdom Ablaze In Deep Green<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today is the Global Day of Compassion. I am joining with people all over the world and adding my own energy of compassion to this Earth. Here is the stated purpose of The Global Day of Compassion: <br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">A Compassionate World Starts With You</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">How do we change the world? By taking a stand for compassion, one person at a time. More than 500,000 people from nearly every country in the world, will come together with one common intention – to turn around the rising tide of disconnection in the world and, through renewed empathy and love, reconnect to what truly matters. <br /><br /> </span></span><br />

On Wednesday I will be recording again another new free download for everyone. The Wisdom's White Fire music was created as the first new free download in this series on May 11th and the video of Wisdom's White Fire was placed on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byPka70YQWM">You Tube video Wisdom's White Fire</a> the following week. It is so much fun to be in the recording studio again!<br />
<br />
Why do I continue to do this? When I create music or write Musings from a space of inspiration and support of the unseen world, the energy goes out and weaves onto our Mother Earth more wisdom, love, beauty. This is true also for all artists who create from this same place. And….it touches on an unseen level the life on this planet with love….especially the human life. It changes me profoundly and deepens my connection with all of life and all of you. <br />
<br />
One of the exciting (and sometimes disturbing) aspects of creating new music is the unknown. At this time Monday morning, I do not know what the new music will sound like or what the title will be. Some time during the next two days the title will emerge, and as I record, the music will create. The experience of creation is very life-giving for me. As I play the music out, it tells me if it is complete or whether there is more to come, or another layer, or if I need to redo because it has a deeper level. Always I can count on this communication and it is wonderful. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Steve is creating a beautiful new website for Mayan Dream. I have seen the latest and WOW! Meanwhile, he and I will be working closely together this week to complete it. I love the work he is doing. <br />
<br />
Love to all.<br />
<br />

Watch for a new Facebook page for Mayan Dream Productions to be completed within the next few days. <br />
<br />
I talked with Steve Knight yesterday, and we are both very excited about the new website that he has created for Mayan Dream Productions. I will be viewing the test link this afternoon and hopefully we can launch also this afternoon. How cool is that!! <br />
<br />

Here we are…..it's 1AM and the wind is bringing cool air to the Midwest. We have been graced with very warm (way above average) temps and a lot of humidity, and are now moving into cool (below average temps) with sunshine and dry air. All growing things are loving this unusual Spring……greens are vivid and flowers are lush. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last week was a busy one! I was back into the recording studio and new music has arrived. This new music is called Wisdoms' White Fire and is free to you. You can request an mp3 file from me at any time by <a href="mailto:mayandream@gmail.com">e-mailing me</a> and requesting it.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is Wisdoms' White Fire? Retta and I were walking in Fox Island and passed a beautiful white flowering pear tree. It was glowing and the petals that were falling also glowed in the air, and on the ground. The music comes from my experience of the glowing fire that is the life within the flowering pear tree. As always, I did not hear the music in advance of going into the recording studio, but it emerged as I lay down the musical tracks. It is beautiful music….carrying the energy of the fire of the flowering pear tree. Wisdom is at the core of all life…thus the title of this piece.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

For the total experience of the flowering pear tree and of the music, Tom Tempel and I have created a video that is on You Tube. I took many photographs of the tree and the petals and Tom has blended all into the experience of the white fire within the life force of the tree. Here is the You Tube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byPka70YQWM">link</a>! </div>

This is the first in a series of free download pieces for you. I record the next piece on June 3. All of this new free music will be placed on my home page as soon as the new home page is ready for launch….should be any day now! But why wait….just <a href="mailto:mayandream@gmail.com">e-mail me</a> and I will send you the mp3 file immediately. <br /> </div>
