No. 374: If On(e)ly We Can Be...


If On(e)ly We Can Be
What Voice Teaches Us to See(ng)
We Heal.
We Love.
We Feel.
We Be. 

THIS is Life. THIS is Love. THIS is From the Heart Singing.

No. 373: Perhaps listening...


Perhaps listening
The ability to HEAR

Have
Empathy
And
Respond (in a loving way)

Is directly proportional
To the knowledge
Or lack of knowledge
Of our Own Voice.

Hmmmmmmmmm...

THIS is Life.  THIS is Love.  THIS is From the Heart Singing.

No. 372: Tell Me to be quiet.


Tell Me to be quiet
And I will erupt
Into a tornado-storm
Of long-silenced Song.

But...

Show me a sleeping Baby:
The Eye of My Heart
And I will sit silent
Til She wakes to Heavenly Music
That has no sound.

(Finding Voice is about Relationship. The sooner we know this, the more we truly enrich Life around Us.)

THIS is Life.  THIS is Love.  THIS is From the Heart Singing.

No. 371: Voice WILL THREATEN you.



The Greater US
Is never threatened
By Voice.

The Greater US
Celebrates and recognizes
Every Voice.

When we are threatened
By Another's Voice
It is an invitation:

STEP IN TO YOUR COMPLETE SOUND.

Are you running away?

Or are You showing up?


THIS is Life.  THIS is Love.  THIS is From the Heart Singing.

No. 370: THIS is BLISS.


Showing SomeOne the Way of Voice
When There Seems to Be None...

AND. FINDING. IT?

...

THIS. IS. BLISS.

It's Also Life.  It's Love.  It's From the Heart Singing.  YEAH.

No. 369: Paths of Light and Life

Forging
Building
Becoming
Strengthening
Brightening
Intensifying
ALL

Teacher/Path
Of ALL.

THIS is Life.  THIS is Love.  This is From the Heart Singing.

No. 368: Life-Enriching Education


There is a Way of Living
A Way of Singing

That leaves Space
For the Thriving

Of EVERY Voice.

But It Asks for EveryThing
ALL of US
And Won't Stop
Until We're Burning
In the Fire

of LOVE.

THIS is Life.  THIS is Love. THIS is From the Heart Singing.

No. 367: If You Love MY Voice


If you love my Voice
You love Your Own.
You just 
Might
Not
Know yet

HOW.

But stick with It
Hang around awhile
And Love will permeate You too

With Music PERSONIFIED.


THIS is Life.  THIS is Love.  THIS is From the Heart Singing.

No. 366: Ain't Nothin' Like It.



When We Say YES
To WhatEver Voice Is
And Allow It Through Us
Completely

There Ain't Nothin' Like It

Except
MayBe
Being Breathed
Being Loved
Being As Free
As We Can
In a Body

Being Connected
Being Flowed
Being
Clear-ly
WE.

AHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (*yum*)

THIS is Life.  THIS is Love.  THIS is From the Heart Singing.

No. 365: I will fail you.


AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL FROM THE HEART SINGERS:


I will fail you.
And if I haven't yet, I will--don't worry! You won't be left out.
Any Teacher worth Her Salt
Will admit this
If She's brave.


But...guess what saves me?  Guess what catches me when I
Fall
Face
First
Into imperfection?


Guess
What
Saves
Us
All?


VOICE.


Voice will never fail us.
Has never failed has.
Does not
fail
us.

I. Am. Living. Proof. Of. This. FACT.

(I hope
you are all beginning
to feel this LIFE
in you, too...
The Gift of Love
You are giving
To You)

No matter what we do
No matter what we don't do--
No matter what we think
No matter what others think of us...

Voice has got us.
Voice has got us.
Voice has got us.

I PROMISE.

And to dedicate From the Heart School
To the Infinite Depth
Of This TRUTH

Is a tiny,
Incomplete Way
To repay
This Grace

Even If Voice
Has All S/He needs
Without
Our
Help.

I Love You All
In the imperfection of my incompleteness.

WOW It's a Trip:
This Path
Through the Heart
Of Voice

Ain't It?


Yours Always--Perfectly Incomplete,

Rebecca Fromherz

No. 363: It's like Heaven

For a True Singer

One Who has to Sing
To Understand Life

Finding Complete Voice
Feels Like Stepping in
To Heaven.
There Is Nothing Like It
This Heavenly Realm

Where Most Things
Can Only Be Sung
With ALL of Us.

We Speak a Language
Of Cultured Beasts
Learning Ancient Translations
Of the Singer's Book of Life
Striving to Give Civilized Birth
To a Power Strong Enough
To Consume Us.

Heaven Is Walking the Singer's Path
And Arriving Home
In One Piece.

This is LIFE. This is Love. This is From the Heart Singing.

No. 362: I. Am Not. A Singer.


I
Am not
A Singer.

In as much
As my being
"A Singer"
Takes away
The inherent
Be-YOUty
Of Y/Our
Expression
Of Voice.

So then

What Am I

If Not

A Singer?

I Am a Teller of Stories
A Feeler of Feelings
A Believer of Thoughts
A Transcender of Conditionings

I Am
A Holder of Hands
A Mover of Feet
A HeartBeat
A Breath
A Life
A Death.

I Am All These Things
Just As Are You.

And When You Hear Y/OurSelf Singing
In the Midst of This Universal Being...

MayBe Then
We Can Hear
The Truth of Our Unity:

There Cannot Be One
Without The Other

I Cannot
Will Not
Sing

Without Knowing
To the Core of US
The Be-YOUty
Of OUR

Song.


THIS is Life.  THIS is Love.  THIS is From the Heart Singing.

No. 361: If You're MAD


If you're MAD
On this Path of Voice

...

CELEBRATE!

Anger, stress, craziness, sadness: these are all Signposts
That Voice is nigh.

And if It makes You
MORE MAD

To think of celebrating your madness

...

GET MADDER
And sadder
More hopeless
And stressed

Till One Day You Look at You
And see only the vibration
Of what's left
After You've Voiced
All 
You thought
Was keeping You silent...

...

And then CELEBRATE 
Again...and again...
And again.


THIS is Life. THIS is Love.  THIS is From the Heart Singing.

No. 360: It's not about not caring...


Singing isn't about not caring what other people think of Our Voice.  Even a Bird cares if her True Soulmate is listening and how.

Singing IS about caring what a select Few think of Our Voice:

These Few are the Mystics and Healers
The Writers and Feelers...
The Birds and the Trees
The StoryTellers who See
US:

Heart 
Mind
Soul
Passion
Emotion
Experience
Spirit
Energy
Love
Life

One and complete...

THEY are the Ones Whose Opinions We Seek
Even 
Before 
We are ever
Heard.

THIS is Life. THIS is Love. THIS is From the Heart Singing.

No. 359: Where there is Life...



Where there is Life
There is Voice.

It's an Amazing Place to Be.

THIS is Life.  THIS is Love.  THIS is Opera Organically--From the Heart School of Singing.


Saturday, May 23, 2015

No. 358: There are as many ways...


There are as many ways
To Voice
As there are people.

But there is only One Signpost
That You Are on the Right Way 
for You:

Peace.


THIS is Life. THIS is Love. THIS is Opera Organically.

Friday, May 22, 2015

No. 357: So you say...


So you say
You have "no Voice" 
But 
What
Just
Said
THAT?

Welcome to the Love of Your Life. 
(If You Let It Be.)

No. 356: Self-Confidence.


Self-Confidence is Voice-Confidence.

When We begin to Experience
This in Depth

The World becomes Our Oyster
Our True Lives
The Pearl.

No. 355: It's no One's business


It's no One's business
But Yours
How long It takes You
To Find Voice.

Live the Power of THAT 
And You Will Know
Voice has found YOU
Already.

THIS is Life.  THIS is Love.  THIS is Opera Organically.

No. 354: On Intensity


Intensity Is a Tricky Thing:
We cannot Know Voice 
Without It
Yet
It's Seldom Pretty
'Till We Acknowlege It
And
It Takes Every Part of Us
Every Extra Thought From Us
That Is Not It
Away
On the Wind 
Of Truth
Of Love
Of Power
Of Light.
When We've Enjoyed THAT Ride
For a Little While
We Will Experience
The Subtle Soft 
YES
Of
Intensity...
Knowing a Loudness
Akin to the Most Tender
Whisper.
Yet Another Paradox!
Ah, Beautiful Song!!

Thursday, May 14, 2015

No. 353: Beneath every instruction


Beneath every instruction 
Is the foundational question:

Does this serve Voice?

If the answer is yes you know.
If it's not you keep searching.

This Is the Ultimate Reminder
That It's Not All About Us--
And yet It Is.

There is incredible possibility 
In paradox.


No. 352: No Real Escape


There is No Real Escape
From Life
From Love
From Being Sung




Friday, May 8, 2015

No. 351: Ain't It Great?


Ain't It Great
That as Voice Finds Clarity Through Us
Life Seems to, too...?
That Is, if You Are a Singer:
If You're You.




Sunday, May 3, 2015

No. 350: There Is.


There Is a Singing that is Expansive even in Silence (It holds an Ever-new Definition of "Loudness"--a Decibel Scale of Delight). This Is the Singing I serve. 


Thursday, April 30, 2015

No. 349: The Danger


The danger in teaching Voice
Is in teaching It as if
It Is something
We know
When
In Deepest
Truest Experience
It Is SomeThing Knowing Us.

Hmmm....

X-Files? Only if You want it to be.
Magic? For sure.
Miracle? I don't know...try it! You. Tell. Me.

No. 348: Fiercely Loved.


Voice is a Being
Voice is a Doing
Voice is Experience.
The degree to which
This Being-ness, this Doing-ness, this Experience IS
Fiercely Loved
Is the Degree to which
We
Are
Free,
The degree to which we are sung,
The degree to which
We
Sing.
