I am thinking and writing about so much right now that it is hard for me to keep up, probably much less you! But I think I stumbled on something the other day (in "May I?", May 2) that I need to unravel a bit more.
Recently, several of my online astrological and spiritual folks have talked about humanity's evolution away from being so head- and throat-based to being more heart-centered. Love will increasingly become our way of connecting, our way of speaking, our currency, and our source of information. It's been satisfying to hear this, since it resonates with what I have often tried to articulate too.
It dawned on me yesterday that linking this observation to my England and English church music shift, it's like so many of the thoughts I used to have (about only being able to be happy over there or sing that kind of music) -- and the limited words and music I was willing to say/sing with my throat -- are the factors flying away in the wind. What is staying in my heart is a purer form of that lifetime of love, a purer sense of "home", and a purer sense of "harmony". My passion has gotten both smaller and more condensed, and bigger and more expansive. To go back to my metaphor of the banquet table, this may be the moment where many of us bless the bigger spread, and then just grab our absolutely favorite, essential elements (and perhaps some new ingredients) to create a mini-masterpiece, a purer form of our passion. That smaller but more powerful nugget of passion will go through to the new paradigm, and become its foundation.
