Daily life in support of creativity

In early October I released an album of music called "Wisdom Enters The World In Love". Now my challenge is to live that music in the daily world of my life.

I am feeling into the title and what it means to me. If Wisdom is to enter my world, I must be open. All of the windows and doors of my inner and outer world are open wide to the newness that wisdom brings. She, Wisdom, is my support, rather than the limited beliefs of the 5 sensory world.

If Wisdom is to enter my world In Love, then love must be at the core of everything I speak or write. No ruminating from a space that is not love. Otherwise, I am split. There are two worlds for me: the world of my music especially as I perform and record, and the world of my daily life. When these are split, nothing works well. It is not a loving space for me or those around me.

This sounds esoteric, but it is extremely practical for the musician. It is very easy for me to become split when life presents challenges. Then Wisdom and Love feels very far away, because I have walked away in the split. My creativity is limited. Believe me, you don't want to be around me when that happens!

As I muse this morning, I am sitting here experiencing a piece called Dawn (from Heart of Sky/Heart of Earth)...French Horn announcing the coming of the new day; birdsong and joy! Outside, the sun is rising. This is a perfect symbol of what I am talking about with Wisdom. The inner world of my music and the outer world of my life are one.

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

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...
