No. 311: Hmmm?

No. 310: The Resonance of All We Are

When we listen to singing

with All Our HeArt

there is no "good"--

there is no "bad."

There is only singing which resonates

All We Are

and singing 

which resonates

less

of All We Are.

Who or What defines the difference?

***pssst--a secret***

To sing with the resonance of All We Are feels like Heaven.

This is how we know.

...

(The trick is not stopping the search 'til We experience It.)

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

No. 309: Voice is not Voice

An adaptation of Shakespeare's Sonnet 116...
The deepest bow to the Great Bard:

Voice is not voice 

Which alters when it alteration finds, 

Or bends with the remover to remove. 

O no, it is an ever-fixed mark 

That looks on tempests and is never shaken; 

It is the star to every wand'ring bark, 

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. 

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

No. 308: Do not accept...

Do not accept 

anything less

than a total

transformation

into 

song.

Unless, of course, You Know You Are One with Music already--

then 

carry on...carry on!

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

307: Let IT!

No. 306: Voice is far too exquisite

Voice is far too exquisite

to belong to one person, or a select few.

Voice Is Who We All Are.

This realization is like resurrection:

a deep reality

so blinding in It's Truth

we are almost afraid to believe It.

But when we do...oh, when we do...

Life opens up:

and Hu/wo/mankind

becomes an Easter Lilly Blooming.

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

No. 305: Love is a KittyCat.

Love Is: 

Waking up in the corner of the bed because a KittyCat took the middle. 

What if we could learn to look at Voice like a KittyCat?  

Could we learn to honor It?  Give It what It needs...?  

...Even go so far as to listen to what it WANTS...?

As I write this, said KittyCat seems to approve.

Indeed: Let It. Be. So.

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

No. 304: Despair Is Easy.

To despair you have no voice

is very easy.

To Be In Joy

that You ARE Voice

can be a little harder.

But just sink into It...

Try It on for size... ...

It's fun.

:)

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

No. 303: R/evolutionary Power.

No. 302: Never Alone.

No. 301: Voice Is...

When We follow Voice

Long enough

Deeply enough

Broadly enough

Completely enough

We See It

Is

A Destination

AND

A Journey.

It's never taken alone

It's never exclusive

It's Mysterious

and yet

Simple

All at Once.

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

No. 300: Can you wake up...?

Can you wake up

WANTING
to sing?

When We Know

We Are Singers

We See

that singing can be like breathing...

And wanting to do it

a gentle,

simple, yet dramatic choice

to open Our senses:

Does the HeArt keep beating?
Do the Lungs keep breathing?

Do our Bodies keep singing?

Consider Who or What Is behind

What Keeps US Alive,

What Keeps US in Love,

and We will know

what it means

to WAKE UP

singing.

No. 299: BE It.

No. 298: It's an ANIMAL...!

You are in relationship with your voice.

Right NOW.

What is the quality of that relationship?

For instance:

Do you let your voice love you?

Do you let yourself love your voice?

Do you think this all is crazy?

Then you have not yet experienced a relationship with Voice:

It is sweet, like a kitty cat in your lap.

It is tempestuous, like an opinionated steed.

It is as free and as powerful as any roaming wild animal.

It is asking for your respect--for your attention,

for your PRESENCE.

When will you begin

to listen, to see, to BE what It needs YOU to be...?

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