More beauty from the Heartland




Green...the color of the heart..the vibration of F in music....my absolute support as I walk in the deep green of tree and pathway....the wisdom color for sure.

I know that computer screens "see" in different ways. On my screen, the greens of this photo are deep and vivid. On your screen they may be more gray, or with more yellow, or with more blue. But in the original, these colors are deep velvet greens of all hues from the deepest green of forest trees to the lighter greens of grasses.

Last week I attempted to take a week of vacation from Mayan Dream Productions. That proved to be almost an impossibility when I didn't actually go anywhere. I found myself still checking e-mails.....still walking into my office space.....However, the time and space of separating myself a little did deepen my awareness of the deep wisdom greens in their pure essence as pathway into the Heart of Everything....for me.

It's 4AM on Tuesday. My hot cup of coffee is on my left, along with a new print that Walter picked up for me. This print is the awesome photo taken by Conrad Satala at the Deer Dance in Santiago Atitlan. You can see the jaguar and the deer in the fire. Nicolas Chavez' carving of Maria is next to my computer...along with the cover of the Emergence CD. To my right a red and an orange candle flame brightly. The walls of my office are rusts and browns....the earth tones of ground. The original artwork of Emergence, Heart of Sky/Heart of Earth, Mayan Dream/Dancers of the Flame, and The Journey of Joy all surround me. The portal of Ko'kom from Copan is alive in this space.

Many of you know that when I create music, I see sound as color and shape, rather than hearing sound. So, for me, all of this brilliance of reds and oranges and browns and deep wisdom greens are magnificent sound. I am loving it!

A few days ago I watched the director's cut of Amadeus. Mozart's music was some of the most profound music ever written on this planet. However....his own life was in the pattern of so many highly creative people. As he created the most beautiful music as shaman and edgewalker for his time, he struggled with relationship and with money. He died young not knowing whether his music would ever survive him. And yet.....Mozart is revered to this day for the exquisite beauty of his Requiem....his Symphonies....his melodies....his Masses....his Opera......the attributes of the heart that are captured and flow through his music and lift up the lives of millions and millions of people.

What does wisdom have to say about the struggle and the not knowing and yet continuing to create....not doing it perfect and yet being the edgewalker....hmmmm.


Much love to all.

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 ...

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

Image
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...
