Early morning....second try

Well.....I just wrote an entire gorgeous Musings and blogspot deleted the entire thing before I could publish it. They are very sorry! So, obviously it wasn't anything that you were supposed to read. There is a lot of laughter coming from my office right now at 3:52AM!

I am hearing the sound of a train whistle in the distance. This is one of my favorite sounds....maybe because it makes me want to hop on and travel and explore and find the next excitement. Ahhhhh.....

Last evening I watched the closing ceremonies of the Olympics with total awe. They were spectacular in their creativity which pushed the edges of beauty in color and design and music and dance. I can only imagine the months and months of imagination poured out and the weekly (and then daily I'm sure) practice of thousands of people, who brought their time and talent without any financial reward but just the sheer joy of being a part of this glorious event. It was so beautiful and inspiring!!

For about eight years of my life, I co-ordinated very large events where hundreds of people came together to volunteer their art and their music. Tens of thousands of people attended these events. My job was to allow this to happen through my attention, focus on potential, support of everyone involved with love and kindness, and to hold the vision of inspiration. This gives me a little bit of an idea of how the people who were at the Olympics felt as they gave so totally of themselves. Now it is over and their lives will never be the same. Thank you to all of them with all of my heart!

Now my job is to be present in love to the tens of thousands of people who are listening or have listened to my music over the years. It is my job to focus on potential, to follow the train whistle into the excitement of the unknown, to stay in the vision of what daily practice can produce for beauty out in the world, and to let the sheer joy of being a part of this glorious lifetime lift me up and guide me. Love to all of you.

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

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...
