The New Paradigm thru Mindful Music Making

"Once again I am humbled by the omnipotence of grace and sweetness in my life... such constant reminders, when I allow myself to SEE and FEEL the TRUTH of what is.

Late at night after this medicine of Music Making, my heart is just so open and full with love and inspiration, my body is tired and full, and I want to share it, to spread it around and ignite passion in the hearts of others to PLAY TOGETHER in this healthy and positive way.

Generations of beings, from 60-10 years old are sharing space together, praying around candles and sharing the depths of the human experience thru this practice. Voices carrying, real human voices, not altered, reverbed and fixed up to sound "perfect" but real true voices of all facets of human expression: sadness, fear, exhaustion, stress, joy, goofiness, play, prayer. It's all showing up every week in the practice of The Muse.

I am so deeply moved and deeply touched. I remain in the afterglow of grace.

Dancing candles

Soft burning fire light

Deep haunting voices of every human expression

Joy, Grief, Passion

Searching, Yearning, Knowing,

Ancient Songs of wise beings

My own hands on Skin

Pulsing rhythms I never knew

I knew My own voice met by the voices of others

Passion making the Spine Tingle

Moments of Silence & Hearing the Breath of Each other...

More Voices Emanating from the Ethers

A Man swaying back and forth, his hands lifted,

His voice that of an ancient angel adrift in the room

A woman echoing my song, playing joyfully with our shared spirits

Acknowledging Reflection

Two Young Girls Sitting by the Altar,

One with a feather, one with sage, staring intently into the candles,

Their prayers carrying the Prayers of Peace for all of us

They are learning this Sacred Way

To Share with their own Generation....

A Generation who will need them to

Carry the Torch

Deep Respect Emanating from every pair of eyes

We are timeless

Beyond words in our hearts

Lovers in the corner

Fingers touching

Softly embracing before spinning back out to the group.

Wrapped in the arms of Sonic Bliss

Created by 15 Beings United in Expressive Alchemy

Tears of Gratitude hitting the floor beneath me while my body is bowed in deep honoring at the Altar of Our Intentions.

Ancient crystals and stones absorbing our energy: charged by our hearts.

Profound presence of the Grace Of NOW always present

Humbled to Offer SOMETHING beyond my SELF

Humbled to Participate and Witness...

Looking around the Circle at the Joyful Openings of Each being present I realize that somehow we know each other better now.

We are More than we were Alone...

We are Unified in Intent and in ACCEPTANCE and Willingness to HONOR each other fully thru Musical Expression

Thru Witnessing

Thru sharing fearlessly

Thru honoring the children

Thru Being the Truth of our Selves Together
