Places...

A place to think, a place to dream...

A place to write, a place to create...

A place to relax, a place to ponder...

A place to gather, with food and thought...

A place to experiment, a place to learn...

A place to rest after world-weary travels...

A place of choice, a place to be free...

Lately, I've been thinking of places... And of what we need around us in order to live an inspired and fulfilled life. All these 'places'and moreover the infinite feelings they evoke are an integral part, I feel, to leading the lives we've always dreamed of and more importantly, the lives we deserve... We simply must make the time, make the space and make our perfect life happen!

Earth-Love-Music....

Biophilia....  

This is the title of Björk's new album, which speaks of a "love for nature in all her manifestations"  and "a restless curiosity, an urge to investigate and discover the elusive places where we meet nature"....  All this and an introduction from Sir David Attenborough! I'm in heaven! 

 "The biophilia hypothesis suggests that there is an instinctive bond between human beings and other living systems'"  ... I am excited by the fact that this idea has been explored in musical form and can't wait to hear the results. 

 I love the idea of the songs being created around a kind of 'Solar System' structure that is housed within the 'Mother'.  I love how Björk is unafraid of exploring new technologies and collaborating with other artists with new ideas.  Some performers can become so insular in their process, and I think sometimes their work can suffer for it.  The new song below Cosmogony, is a retelling of creation myths from around the world.... Stunning!

I look forward to this multi-layered audio-visual extravaganza as Björk breaks new expressive ground and reminds us all of what we're capable of as Humans, but also of how close to the Source we really can be...

 "We are on the brink of a revolution that will unite Humans with Nature.... until we get there, prepare, explore Biophilia."

Winter Wonders...and Wanders...

Follow the snow covered winter woodland path...

The recent New Moon in Cancer has me reflecting on new beginnings, and the opportunities for fresh starts with family and home...nurturing and protecting ourselves and others.

I love that, every month, the New Moon allows us to return to the source, and begin again. Even in the depths of the winter darkness, we have the chance for renewal...New Moon Beginnings!

Winter Wonders...

...and Winter Wanders...
