This year is a finish-what-I-start kind of year. I have had three separate recordings sitting in files at the studio for YEARS, and it's time to close the project list. Strangely, I'm not over the moon about any of it. It feels a little hollow. Why am I doing all of this? Who is paying attention? Am I a tree falling in a wood that no one hears? Maybe. But, luckily, I am married to a truly beautiful human being who utterly believes in me and my work in this world, and he pointed my attention to a favorite new work of art that we have here on our farm. I was having a low moment, and he directed my eyes to Timothy's painting, hanging in our stairwell, and asked why does he keep creating? Is that for nothing? And when I could see my work alongside other beautiful works as art for art's sake, I was satiated. Yes. We create to put honesty and beauty in the universe. If it resonates with someone, somewhere, that is a true gift. If we ever get to know about that connection....ever MORE gratitude fills us. So, I shall keep moving. Forward? Hopefully. And if you, out there, are resonating with what we are singing into the ether, I hope you'll sing into it as well.
