April....Mother Earth emerges!



Photos: from Brown County State Park in Indiana.

WOW! This has been an incredible first week of April. We are having record breaking warm temperatures, with just enough rain that all growing things are raising their heads and beginning to blossom.

As usual, I am writing in that "witching" hour of night when everything is so clear. The wind outside is blowing HARD. I hear a train whistle in the distance. I just realized that my usual cup of coffee is not here, so am going to take a short break and go make some.

Back....cup of coffee in hand.

This last week we had to change the carrier for my toll-free number and those kinds of changes are always an "interesting journey". But...we got it done and, although we had to be without the toll-free number for about 24 hours, it will be in operation again today, hopefully; with the same number 877-635-1472. This all came about because we changed our phone/internet server from Verizon FIOS to Comcast, and Comcast cannot support a toll-free number on their phone system. So....we had to find somewhere who could support it, and then "port" the number from one company to another. It turns out that this is a big deal! It's easy to get a new toll-free number, but pretty hard to change your existing number from one company to another. Since my toll-free number is on about 20,000 existing CDs, it was extremely important not to change it!

At the beginning of this year, we also had to update our computer system because it could no longer support the amount of information/energy coming through Mayan Dream. I LOVE my new IMAC with it's large flat screen.

Today I will begin writing the upcoming Chilam newsletter. I am also taking inventory this week. Two big projects will keep me out of trouble for a while!!

I continue to be grateful that I am a musician and have the privilege of creating music. 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...
