What I love most about Music. . . + A New Song

11/11/2019

What I love most is the process of creation, of exploration. The magic alchemy of taking a tiny seed of an idea and nurturing it into something tangible with the sheer power of hearts, minds, and bodies. The way the energy of it transforms as we go, growing and changing as we first expand the idea, and then whittle it down into final form.

What I love most is how the process of creation transforms us- our hearts, bodies, and minds. When we write a song, I believe that the physical expression of it resonates into every cell, shifting the energetic signature of our very being.

It’s a powerful experience, something to be celebrated!

For many years, I shared my art through live performance, on stages from Bellingham to Joshua Tree.

Now, I’m sharing here, with you, from my heart to yours.

If you are called to this journey of musical exploration, if you desire to strengthen and share your voice, I would love to connect with you.

Tell Me Your Story

Today I’m sharing a song written in a song writing circle that offered monthly song prompts in the form of a phrase that had to be included somewhere in the lyrics. This prompt was “On The Wind”.

When I was first invited into the group, I felt nervous about writing from an external prompt, worried that I wouldn’t be able to connect with an idea that didn’t come directly from my own heart and experience.

Ultimately the process of writing and sharing from prompts in a group over the course of a year reminded me that although the range of human experience is vast, we are all connected by the common thread of human emotion.

When we open our hearts and share these emotions with each other through art, it’s easy to connect. Compassion and community are the result.

I hope you enjoy the music, and I’d love to hear back from you.
