THE POWER OF OUR PURPOSE

What does this photo have to do with the power of our purpose? Nothing directly...but I felt that it would be nice to be reminded of what Mother Earth will look like in five months. It is snowing again this morning...keeping everything a beautiful white. But this white is only part of the ever-changing wholeness and soon we will see the beginnings of Spring, and then this rich green of June.

THE POWER OF MUSIC
The concert yesterday that was part of the inauguration was a powerful reminder that music is primary to our lives. Music carries the energy of vitality and color and ongoing change. Music heals and inspires. Yo Yo Ma will be front and center when Obama takes the oath of office. When Yo Yo Ma plays cello....performing, or playing cello are just too weak of language to describe what happens. His beauty of spirit pours through the cello. The unseen world of the sacred is ours to experience for a powerful moment in time. This moment will last forever and that is the gift that music (or art, or writing, or photography, or sculpture, etc) brings to the world.

THE POWER OF OUR PURPOSE

Obama, Yo Yo Ma, all of the musicians at the concert in Washington yesterday, you, me....we are giving a precious gift to the world when we live our purpose. Does it matter if I create music....Yes! And this is the week to be reminded that IT DOES MATTER.

Have a beautiful week.

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...
