heeding the call
I gratefully receive magical songs that fly into my head and sing themselves to me. It has taken many years of process and practice, discovery and recovery of my voice, and the help of many amazing teachers and helpers. This has been a very long apprenticeship; now, I emerge from my chrysalis to offer myself, to fully be what I am. Yes!
My vision is to travel with my guitar and my songs and go where the wind blows, play in peoples’ homes and share my muse and heart, travelling in true troubadour fashion called forth by those who seek what I offer. I need no roots. I am not a homebody. I am subject to a holy wanderlust I have only recently learned to name, and it only grows stronger the longer I live.
The road is calling me. Your couch is calling me. I come to sing for my supper, and I spread the beloved word as I go.
Imagine a circle of friends curled up in your living room, snuggling and journeying to an intimate sharing of songs. I break the paradigms of performer and audience, musician and fans. I seek to become, I am a vessel for the nourishment of hearts and bodies, minds and spirits, and this is my bliss, to give, to live.
The business of music is no business of mine. I am not about business. I am all about playing my part in facilitating the evolution of all personkind, including the great Person which is this living planet and the Person who is the Whole, greater than the sum of the parts of all that is, was, might have been or might become.
Once, I feared to show my face to the world. I shrunk from the light into the shadows, but the shadows were not safe. I am ready now, and I am still shy, still careful. I dare to risk sharing my heart with others that they may more easily open their own hearts with their beloveds and that they may, if they chooose, join my own growing and evolving circle of friends and lovers.
Rather than fans, applause or money, I seek love, new experiences and heartsharing. I am here to offer my gifts to you and to rediscover who you are as we meet again for the first time. I trust my friends, my brothers and sisters and travelers on the walk of life. We are familiars from the beginning of things, and we know. I trust the path which beckons, calls and moves forward under my feet. We are ever-growing souls in an evolving universe; the world is getting smaller because we are kindred spirits growing greater.
I am a sacred vessel, as are we all, and I am here for you now, as we are all here for each other.
The songs should be listened to with the ears and the heart and felt with the body. If you feel called to have me come to your home, email me and we’ll find a way. It doesn’t matter to me so much where you live; I will connect the dots of the places I am called and trace a trajectory around the world if it goes that far. It may take a little longer if you live in Australia, but if you want me I’ll get there somehow.
And I’ll keep writing. Have laptop, will travel. Holy Hallelujah, Batman!
