I began this week vetching (maybe) about what I perceive as authenticity and struggle. I am working through coaxing the first to emerge within myself organically, (yes, in a culture less accepting of differences) and I'm sitting this morning, (with gorgeous dogwood trees, my favorite, just outside my window), considering the true gifts around what [...]
The power of YouTube.....google had Theresa Anderson on their main page this morning..... a new talent to me. Ahh the fiddle. Ahh the voice. Makes me (and clearly), Mary, weep! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJkQvyoWJBk&hl=en_US&fs=1&] BB Webb
Every so often, a person enters your life and makes a boom of a difference. Pat Sullivan was one of those women for me, (I've only had a few) and I will be forever grateful for her presence in my life. At 83 years old she's as full of piss and vinegar as I might [...]
I know the story in this short video. My friend April introduced me to her friend who performs one of the roles in this piece. A lovely heartful man. We all watched it together the other weekend. I get it. Sincerely, I do and I do and I do. I'd like to be one of [...]
I’m waxing a bit poetic this late evening. You may want to play Erik Satie’s music below while reading. And in that it's probably morning time for you, you may consider reading and listening with a strong cup of espresso or hot ceylon or oolong tea, sweetened just so, snugged up in a comfy chair [...]
I feel perhaps I'm in a most pensive stage of late....I've got some serious questions and some serious discerning to do. It's almost like looking at a photo from the backside if there were such a thing. My choice is always to support the highest within whatever situation or thought I encounter. I'm finding that [...]
I was asked to be on a panel years and years ago called, 'Creating Something From Nothing.' I could talk about that all day. I love to look back after a creation is complete, (or are they ever, but rather, when I am ready to move on from one), to consider where it came from, [...]
Music has quietly been a part of my life throughout the years. I'm not a collector but more a random 'stumbler' upon all kinds of music....I don't even know how to categorize it all. I've had times where I stopped listening to music for a spell, I wanted no outside noise or influence....and then other [...]
I have a dear friend who lives in Maine; I've spoken of her before, the lovely and talented Karen Montanaro, wife of my beloved late teacher Tony Montanaro. She is a seeker like myself. Our conversations would drive most anyone mad as we stay up late into the night bug-eyed considering thoughts in the realms [...]
To me, we're brought onto the planet to create, to fulfill our individual soul's purpose....AND we ALL have the inherent ability to create on some level. Just my theory. It might be by being the best cupcake maker in your neighborhood, or that you build sky scrapers like Howard Roarke or to manifest epic films [...]
