On Saturday, I was sitting by a big window, looking out at an unusually warm autumn-y scene, peeling apples for an apple crumble, listening to some English church music, when a thought came to me. Up until now, my primary building block efforts on behalf of the Goddess/Age of Aquarius have been in writing in this blog, particularly my Goddess words. And I'm proud of what I have written and processed here. But in a flash, this thought came to me: it is time to add music and visuals (art and perhaps photography) to this endeavor. To create a more multi-media way of expressing myself. I have the musical skills, I have the artistic skills.
Of course, it's kind of interesting that I thought this in the immediate wake of having given away most of my music CD's, painting supplies, and other traditional media. Also, in the wake of brainstorming about new creative expression. Actually, it makes a certain amount of sense. I had to release the old in so many ways...clearly I am not meant to go forward as a traditional oil painter (much as I love "Portrait Artist of the Year"), or to sing in a cathedral choir. The time has come to bring these skills and passions forward along with writing, in a new way. Can I envision exactly what I am talking about? No, although a few flashes of inspiration have tried to get through to me over the years. But there may never have been a moment when it was more imperative to express love and beauty and harmony in as many ways as possible. If writing no longer feels like enough, then I have other powerful tools to use to record my impressions of where we are headed. What the new age will look like, feel like, sound like.
Hmm...heady stuff for the new moon and the autumn solstice. May yours be equally rich!
