No. 183 What is Opera Organically? A Resting Place

For the Diva Warriors, 

for the ones who know

that singing is much more than singing,

who know that they are being sung,

Opera Organically is a resting place.

For we see with the eyes of our Eternal Hearts

that Voice is a way of Being, not just of Doing,

which has the power to awaken all aspects

of human emotion and experience on this Earth.

We become the fertile ground

which produces blossoms as well as brambles.

We become the messiness and the decay:

We become the Death

as well as the Birth, the blooming,

of Life.

Walking through the world 

with this pulsing aliveness

can be exhausting.  Our Bodies, our minds, our spirits,

these Vessels which hold so much Voice

become tired.

Opera Organically

is a community which knows and understands,

offering Voices clear and all-encompassing, 

to make space 

for All that is Who We Are.

In this resting place of fellowship

we surrender:

We sit still, we let Love bathe us

with the knowledge that Life and Death

Light and Darkness

chiaro and oscuro

extend out from our songs

to paint the world with exquisite color

knowing

 the more we allow,

the more vibrant our lives, 

the more true our Voices.

What is this, this being in Love?  What is it to sing in Love? 

It is a resting place, of the deepest kind

where to meet others in freedom and in music

is to know more of Who We Are.  

THIS is Opera Organically.
