No. 258: At It's Deepest

At It's Deepest

Singing is Screaming

in "Yes":

It's a second chance

at birth

where we get to embrace

rather than protest

the feelings of Life

on 

and in

Our skins.

It's shaped laughter;

It's molded sobs;

It's longing and desire, fullness and emptiness--

All

at

Once.

Perhaps this is why Singing

is so glorified.

Perhaps this is why so many want to do It.

Who would not want this transmutation into Love...?

And Who, in their right HeArt, 

would ever dream 

of denying It?

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

This post is dedicated to my Friend Tammy McCammon.

No. 257: Find the Infinity.

Find the Infinity

in (Y)our Heart

and you will find

the Infinity

in (Y)our Voice.

Bathe in the Love

Which is

Who We Are...

...and BE...just...Be...

THIS is life--this is singing--at it's best.

THIS is Opera Organically.

No. 257: If you knew...

If you knew 

that singing could do for you

what dreaming,

meditating,

loving,

hugging,

smiling,

laughing,

crying,

can do--

that is:

BRING YOU TO LIFE

Would you do It?

...and if someone told you you couldn't do it, but yet, you stand here before me, ALIVE, would you QUESTION what you have been told?

Ahhh...I DO HOPE the answers for you are "YES".

To sing is one of Life's great gifts--It Is, I believe, a basic human right, to sing.

Do not let a lie that has parasitically silenced us keep you from singing:

one of Life's greatest experiences, when done 

fully,

completely,

with ALL the Heart and Mind.

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

No. 256: You

"You are loved, and are Love."

*this is Voice calling*

How will You answer?

... ... ...

Live It.  Love It.  BE IT.  

THIS is Opera Organically.

No. 255: The Missing Curriculum

Today 

I admit to the world

I just 

GUFF-AWED

at the fact

that we attempt

to teach singers

most often

without the slightest mention

of Voice's inherent ability

to teach US.

What are we thinking...?

Voice, I am Yours. 

Use me.

Open me.

Beat my HeArt with the drum of Your Reality.

THIS is the Greatest Curriculum of All:

the Music we keep on living

and living

and

living.

*surprise!*

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

No. 254: DON'T SING.

DON'T SING.

*that's right, you heard it*

Voice's Self-Professed Advocate

Is telling YOU to keep quiet.

*Hmmmm...why...?*

Because so far:

1) The World has very little clue

How precious YOUR Voice IS.

2) The World has very few tools

To keep your Voice safe.

3) The World very rarely sees 

The exquisite, stunning BEAUTY

Of a Voice in birthing.

*Better to stay quiet until You know of an absolutely caring World 

Where Voice Is All There Is

So when people tell you there is a mark to miss

you can smile kindly and secretly

and keep following your path 

to bliss*

THIS New World is Life.  

THIS New World is Love.  

THIS New World is Opera Organically.
