To everyone who is reading this throughout our beautiful Mother Earth. Welcome! On December 21, 2012, the people of the Maya celebrated the change of the baktun. With ritual and celebration, they welcomed the new baktun and the new energy. The rest of the world entered into a craziness of wondering if the world was going to end! For myself, this date was also my birthday and so it was a special transformation time for me.

I have always been deeply connected to the Mayan people. When I travel to the Mayan lands I experience a coming home, and usually I come back to the United States with new music to record. With the illness of my parents for the last 6 years, traveling outside of the country was no longer possible. As their power of attorney, I needed to be more available at all times. However, Conrad Satala made possible a series of ongoing virtual pilgrimages that allowed me to travel in the virtual world without having to leave the United States. These virtual pilgrimages have also been a "coming home" and have inspired much new music since 2006. The albums Heart of Sky/Heart of Earth, Emergence, Healing Music for the 21st Century, Ancient/Future Symphony, Mystical Rose, VIDA, Radiance, A Celebration of Life and Love and 40+ individual music albums have been created through my central connection to the Maya since 2006.

What does this mean for all of you who are reading this blog? Your own creativity is not dependent on any outer place of living, or travel, or particular relationship, or situation in life. There is something within each of us that connects to the source of love and creativity that can be manifested no matter our perceived limitations. I have the deepest admiration for you who are taking care of sick spouses and at the same time working with healing ministries....or are yourself ill and yet bringing forward art and music and writing. There is no limitation for any of us!!

Immediately after the death of my last parent on December 16th, and the celebrations around the Mayan baktun change/Winter solstice/my birthday on December 21st, and the celebration of Christmas, I got very sick. I had plans to write new music now and am instead still allowing my own body to heal. This is not a critical illness that will lead to permanent disability or death, but it is slowing me down for a few weeks and I am a person who hates to be slowed down! Yikes!

I look forward very much to this new year, and to my ongoing communication with all of you. love. Beverly.

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...
