Gratitude
Yesterday the moon was new again, so it was time to pick another area of focus. This past cycle was about Collaboration – and during that time there were ample opportunities to both engage in and reflect on the people in my life I collaborate with. Colleagues in work, friends and chosen family, artistic collaborators, magical collaborators – and it’s interesting when I look at my life that each of those segments overlap – there seems to be artistry, intimacy, and magic in so many things I work on and toward.
The most prominent collaboration right now is the impending CD release – and it’s fitting that today, as we begin a new lunar cycle, is the day that everything has been finalized and the process of submitting for replication and production begins. It’s a very exciting time – and a time that brings forth this next cycle’s focus – Gratitude.
In my liner notes for the CD, as I was thinking of all of the people through all of the years who played a part in bringing this project to fruition, I used the phrase “to mention one would be to mention all”. The oldest song turns forty next year. We’ve been recording for eleven years. Just about every soul I’ve met has encouraged, discouraged, deflated, or inspired me in one way or another over those years – and each instance, whether good or bad, is something to give thanks for. Each step and each misstep brought me here.
So while I’ve tried to maintain an outlook of gratitude for the past five years anyway – this cycle will be a time of personal Thanksgiving for me.
Thank you for reading… Thank you for being.
