So … I’ve been recording. I realized that there are twenty-five (25!) unrecorded new songs in my notebook, and sort of had to take a breath. There are, unfortunately, some I can’t even find demo recordings of and I can’t remember how they go, and that’s always incredibly frustrating. I especially hate it when I […]
Gather ’round the bubbling cauldron, dearies … Sometimes you just need to saddle up the broomstick and go take care o’ business. The highest court in the US in occupied largely by the lowest of the low. Failed humans sheltering a criminal who committed treason in order to stay in power indefinitely. Unconscionable, intolerable. VOTE.
Ya know what I wanna do? I want to abolish all clocks in my orbit and live exclusively on Solar Time for a solid year, just to see how that feels. It’s not gonna be easy, but man, I really want to. I mentioned it to Michael this morning when the sun was just to
Procrastination is a great big sign. Maybe not from Goddess, or from God (certainly not that one god), but it’s a great big sign nonetheless. I have been stuck in a great big procrastination cycle since about … oh, let’s call it March of 2020. Everything stopped. And never quite got started up again. It
And how’d that work out? He became even more of a superstar because a bunch of uptight fuddy-duddies couldn’t deal with all the hip waggling. They just blasted a giant spotlight of rage on him and all the kids said, “That’s what I want,” and well … Long Live the King. The Stones and the
What if the world is both a measurable, finite, material thing that obeys physical laws, and a sacred mythical wonderland peopled with spirits, angels, gods and goddesses? Why not? And how wonderful would it be? Shamans, so it is said, have one foot in each world, ordinary reality and non-ordinary reality (ORspace and NORspace, to
A client recently mentioned they’d seen some videos about cymatics and asked, “Is that what’s happening when you do sound healing?” Yes! Exactly that! Our cells are made largely of water, and water forms into beautiful patterns when exposed to certain frequencies. It brings the water “in tune” and sets up this lovely evidence of
The Sun is blowing us kisses again. There are auroras forecast for as far south as Alabama tonight (Friday the 10th). Michael and I are gonna head out to a fave dark sky spot and enjoy ’em. And yes, of course I have written a song about auroras. I have seen three of them in
I spent years creating music out of pain. Real pain. Intense frustration. Deep sadness. And then … my life changed and the reason for all that was (ahem) divorced from my world and suddenly, I had room to be pissed off about other things. Climate change. Social justice. Sexual equality. Bodily autonomy. Much more productive
Creating art can be an act of resistance, which is maybe one of the major reasons to do it. Art can show us new ways of thinking, new ways of understanding an idea. Maybe we’re afraid of something and we read a story in which the object of our fear, a spider or a snake
