From blizzards to floods


This is an optimistic photo which was taken a couple of years ago in the very early Spring. I hope to see these flowers along the trails of the state forest very soon.

Last week in the middle of snow storms, the Musings newsletter for February finally went out. Orders were shipped when it was possible to get to the post office. One day, the mail could not even be delivered to us because of snow drifts.....very unusual! Now, we have had thunderstorms and lots of rain overnight and "overnight" our white landscape has turned to brown. The rivers are high and flood warnings are up. All of this weather is a constant reminder to me that life never stays the same. It's craziness for me to worry about what might happen, or what might not happen. Let's go with the flow!

I announced that Living The Possible
album would be on the website for free download. That is delayed a little bit.....until maybe the end of this week and it's posting will be announced with a splashy e-postcard. I still have some writing about the music to do so that the listener has a description and maybe some photographs. I have been falling in love with the music of Living The Possible all over again. It is so rich in wildlife, water, wind and alive with electronic sound and percussion. It fits in well with the month of March and that dynamic, ever changing weather which cracks open the hibernation of winter and brings new life with it's possibilities. Living The Possible was written several years before Radiance, although never released. It was waiting for the music of Radiance. Radiance is the expression of the possible having become a living reality. Like the nature all around me, this music is teaching me about potential, possibility, and the radiance of living the possibility.

What will this week bring? I really have no idea. Onward to the adventure.

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...
