There is a sudden freshening of the air.
I feel the coolness gently caress my shoulder
as I sit in deep meditation in this early hour,
listening to the sweet cacophony
of awakening birds.
As I arise the world around me stretches,
yawns, and lifts its voice in song,
in gratitude for a new day, a new sun,
a new moment, a new beginning,
a new opportunity to love.
Welcome... Like life this blog is changing and evolving. It is devoted now to my work as an international teacher of chant and meditation. More recent posts include workshop announcements and other writing. Older posts pertain to the to my journey in Ireland for a MA in Ritual Chant and Song from the University of Limerick. I graduated in January 2012 at the age of 65 and have been conducting workshops internationally every since. Please join, make comments, and visit often. Thank you. Marsha

Many thanks to you, Marsha for coming into my world! We have known each other for 37 years and have shared so much together.
I especially thank you for sharing your dad with me. His wisdom, kindness, humor and love shine on in you. Your poem today bears witness to your resolve to move forward with the gifts he has given you.
Be at Peace my dear friend.
