No. 202: The Greatest Challenge



The Greatest Challenge
in the Singer's Life
is to Take Responsibility
for ALL that has come
to Her and through Her 
on the path to Voice.

This can be HARD

As we wonder at the Purpose
hiding behind the hell
of swallowed Voice,
the sweat and the tears
which lead to a Freedom
that seems to've been taken away.

Why is this Taking Responsibility
Important?
Why NOT live in a world 
of victimhood where Voice
has been "taken away"?

Why NOT live as a "Non-Singer" 
even as the longing to sing
pulses just beyond
the despair lodged in our throats?

Because
WE MUST CLAIM OUR POWER
in order to change the World
from a place where it is possible
to destroy Voice
to a place where Voice
is honored, treasured, and 
fully, holistically, understood.

We must say, with all our Be-ing:
THERE IS ANOTHER WAY
and it IS POSSIBLE to choose It!

This shift from victimhood
happens as we singers proclaim
what we WANT, in our deepest Hearts:

Freedom, Sincerity,
Hope, Joy, BLISS,
Energy, Aliveness, Good-Will,
Purpose, Connection,
Belief, Understanding,
Compassion, LOVE.

We want to SING!
...and, most of all,
to know that we have been singing
all along...
especially
when we thought 
we couldn't
or shouldn't
or never ever
would.

Taking responsibility for every Voiceless Moment
in our Lives
allows us to see Voice
even in choked Silence.

THIS VOID IS WHERE TRANSFORMATION BEGINS.

The floodgates begin to crack
Hearts open
once retracted
and LOVE POURS THROUGH
as sounds of human divinity.

THIS is Life,
THIS is Love.
THIS is Opera Organically!
