Unforgotten Source #Haiku #Poem

Download “Unforgotten Source” Mp3

Rocks and sand and soil
Northern element of Earth
Safe and sound in peace

Safe and sound in peace
Western Water’s changing tides
Cleansing, quenching thirst

Cleansing, quenching thirst
Burning flame of southern Fire
Shedding old for new

Shedding old for new
Eastern Air refreshes, cools
Lifting us in flight

Lifting us in flight
Spirit at our center speaks
Unforgotten Source

Download “Minuet in F Major” Mp3 Here is an early piano piece by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, “Minuet in F Major.” My double strung harp arrangement is based on the following video by Anne Crosby Gaudet. However, I modified one section, because my harp has no levers. Can you tell which section this is? I hope you enjoy hearing both arrangements!

Huge network of stars!
And to think each single one
Is a brilliant spark!
We are sparks too–deep inside…
How does yours glimmer and shine?

Twilight Wishes #Decima #Poem

Download “Twilight Wishes” Mp3

Come wish upon a twilight star!
Impossible? You’ll never know,
Until you let your wishes go!
Become aware of who you are,
And send your wishes wide and far
Without constraint of thinking thought
And what you have or haven’t got.
Release them to the Oneness-Mind,
The Source of infinite supply;
The Pow’r by which you’re made and loved!

Today we revisit “Scarborough Fair” from my
Double Strung Experiment series.

I hope you enjoy this much loved traditional English tune on double strung harp! But that’s not all! Since Scarborough is located on the North Sea coast, I also added the Koshi Aqua/water chime, Ocean Drum, cowrie shell shaker, and a mini rainstick shaker. Plus Oriole (soprano) recorder and deerskin frame drum, because why not?

Take a trip to the seaside with me!

The Green Man #Decima #Poem

The good Green Man is in the trees:
Magnolia, walnut, myrtle, pear.
His vibrant happiness is there
For all of us who choose to see.
No matter what the season brings,
Connect with nature. Be inspired!
Relax in peace when feeling tired.
Removed from busy, rushing zip,
Find something good, and take a sip,
As Green Man kindles new desire!

Summer Solstice #Decima #Poem #Writephoto

Download “Summer Solstice” Mp3

This Solstice day we make a wish
The Sun within to shine without
To manifest and voice aloud
Desires, goals we seek and fish.
Our open hearts and hands, a dish
Accepting blessings’ filling flow.
Regardless of the winds that blow,
Still, deep within remains the Light,
Through Solstice day and darkest night:
Our Life, Creator, Pow’r of Love!

Download “Faith of Our Fathers” Mp3

Today we celebrate Father’s Day in the United States. I wish all fathers and father figures a blessed, peaceful, and joyous day! And I pray each one of us feels the love of our Heavenly Father, today and every day!

“Faith of Our Fathers” is a beautiful Catholic hymn. Frederick William Faber wrote the text in 1849. The most common melody heard in the United States is “St. Catherine” by Henri F. Hemy.

I hope you enjoy this hymn, played on ukulele and viola, with accompanying shakers: A tiny rain stick, Little Spirit pear branch, Harmony Ball earth sphere, and Rhythm rock.

Happy Father’s Day!
