I had *such* a good sleep last night. In winter I often feel like a bear in hibernation, and I felt like a very satisfied one this morning. In my dreams I was learning & teaching about singing as medicine, among many other adventures beyond my imagination. My body woke up soaked in the satisfying energy of a deep sleep. As I drifted back into this reality I remembered that it's the birthday of my album "Falling". Six years ago I had a CD release at the Cameron House in Toronto...
It'a amazing how much has changed and flowed since then. I've grown as a person, and awakened to so much wisdom about life. Yet even in the simplicity of this song, my soul shines through, just as any of our souls shine through our creations. As I listen to this old song with new ears, I understand that it's truly about LOVING in the present moment, no matter what changes the seasons of life may bring.
My cousin Chris visited me in Montreal the last few days, and it was so good to connect with him. Usually every time we hang out I almost, or do, pee my pants from laughing. This time though we both were feeling some intense deep emotions and just flowed with it. It was so refreshing to be down & tired & lazy & real with each other. Two fruits, vegging out. I loved having someone to share my space with, cook with, flow with, enjoy life with. He is a beautiful person, awesome musician, and I'm excited to see where his path leads him... I'm honoured to be a part of it!
Now I'm back to my peaceful solitude. Things are feeling like they are flowing again! New opportunities, collaborations, possibilities and celebrations are on the horizon. January has been a sleepy slow month but I suppose it's good for the soul to relax and rest in harmony with winter.
Well, I'm going to sip my tea and watch a movie before sinking into my hibernation again... I wonder what treasure will be discovered tonight in the dream world... :)
Love & Presence ~*

P.S. This is a photo from a body painting & stop-motion animation film I participated in over the weekend... I'm really excited to share with you the beautiful creation when it's ready. :)
