Warm greetings, dear Friend!
I hope that you’re well and happy. 🙏🏻
Please forgive me for not connecting with you in June; I’ve never been busier with my music making, AND all is well.
The news from here:
1) Thanks to my dear friends Elise Maxheleau and Andrea Menard, I’ve become aware of the fact that many First Nations languages are verb based, as opposed to English which is noun based. This has inspired me to write simpler, verb based chants as tools to BE more in the present:
Chanting
Feeding, Nurturing
Opening, Offering
Emptying
2) I’m now offering my Morning Musings LIVE at local churches. My intention is to make these events (I call them “Heart Sing” evenings) more and more engaging and participatory, as can be heard in this recent chant:
3) AND, my intention in whatEVER music I’m making is to be a vessel of love, as can be heard in this recent chant:
So life is GOOD, and I’m feeling truly blessed and happy.Â
How about YOU, dear Friend? What’s been happening in YOUR experience these days? WHEREVER you are on your journey, I’d love to hear from you, and I welcome any and all suggestions for future Morning Musings or whatever else you’d like to share. Please e-mail me; we’re all in this together, and we have much to learn from each other.
(THANKS for being a part of my journey, and SPECIAL THANKS to all of the kind souls who respond to my newsletters; reading your comments is always a highlight of my month. And a very warm WELCOME to a new loving soul on my mailing list: Diane Stewart [Vancouver, BC]!)
And, as always…
You can listen to my songs and chants here and here.
You can find the words to my songs and chants here.
