Moving Toward the Time of the Return of Light

 We are at the end of the year 2020 and moving quickly to the winter solstice and the return of Light.

My birthday is on the winter solstice, and I will complete my 74th year in this world on that day, and begin my walk through my 75th year.  This last year has been a truly transformative year for our world, as the pandemic altered all of our lives dramatically and completely.  As with all of you,  this year has also been transformative for me.  I have been forced to change old habit patterns because they no longer work in these new times of the pandemic.  I have moved into a space that is focused more inwardly and this means that my inner world has expanded and all of my life is more connected.

The Return of Light...the celebration of Christmas and Hanakkah and Kwanza...all are beacons of fiery hope in this time when maybe we are walking into the unknown and don't know what lies ahead.  We trust in Christ the Light....in the light of the menora....and all of the traditions of light throughout the planet, that Light always overcomes darkness.

My journey through my coming 75th year (three quarters of a century!) will move through the coming intensity of the first three months of the year which are the peak of the pandemic, and into the warmth and light of summer with a new life emerging....and then into the new outer journey of music in the Autumn and Winter,   Yes,  there is new music coming!

My work also with the Catholic Church and music also takes on new depth and new growth. The focus is definitely Light overcomes darkness, Hope overcomes despair, Love is a force that underlies everything we are and everything we do.

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 six) Fire With

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
