Presence
I am so happy to release this website and introduce you to my music. It’s been in the works a long time and now that it’s done, it fills me up now with ideas for what comes next. In dark times I believe that shining one’s light is crucial. It’s less a time to seek perfection, and more a time to trust that what YOU offer by way of joy and beauty matters. So, whatever you might be up to these days, here are some thoughts on how to keep moving forward during these troubled times in our history.
1. LISTEN
I wish you the ability and patience to listen. Not to be silent (never silence what is in your heart) but to listen FIRST, and consider, if even for a moment, what someone else is saying.
2. MOURN – DON’T LIVE IN DENIAL
I wish you time to mourn for what is happening all around us today.
3. KEEP LOVING – IT IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN PREVAIL
I wish you the strength to believe that action born of love - - even thoughts born of love - - can promote more loving action and thought.
4. HAVE FAITH YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
I wish you the faith to know that you are needed in this time. Your kindness, your generosity, your intelligence and your humanity are vital to the health of us all on this planet.
5. USE YOUR IMAGINATION
Finally – I wish you the imagination to ponder unifying actions, whatever they might be. Offer your time and ideas to moveon.org, or similar organizations. Right now I’m sending postcards to Florida to help get out the vote with togetherfor2020.org. Whatever your interests, use your creative talents to help out locally or nationally. Be more forthcoming with positivity than usual. Even by choosing to slow down on the highway and let someone else get into your lane, use your imagination and choose to start a new karmic footprint.
Onward – Mah Ree
