Talk to me some more...

Like an other-worldly gift, an ethereal voice is a source of calm, stillness and tranquility - a pause in every day life.

Few are blessed with a heavenly sweet-sounding melody and notes that travel to blue skies only to return back to earth.

I remember my mother first playing Phoebe Snow's "Poetry Man" for me when I was a young girl. Snow's airy lilt slid into the walls and transformed the energy of the house- coloring my childhood with peace and imagination.

Over the years I've collected other songs that bring me to that same place... I hope you enjoy them all..

Firewood - Regina Spektor

It's been a long time since I've heard a new song that has really moved me.
Regina Spektor never disappoints.  Her new album "What we Saw from the Cheap Seats" is getting rave reviews and rightfully so. I have grown extremely fond of the song Firewood... take a listen...

Happy Monday,

The sound of one voice...

The sound of tonight..the summer evening...




This is the sound of one voice
One spirit, one voice
The sound of one who makes a choice
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice

This is the sound of voices two
The sound of me singin' with you
Helpin' each other to make it through
This is the sound of voices two
This is the sound of voices two

This is the sound of voices three
Singin' together in harmony
Surrendering to the mystery
This is the sound of voices three
This is the sound of voices three

This is the sound of all of us
Singin' with love and the will to trust
Leave the rest behind, it will turn to dust
This is the sound of all of us
This is the sound of all of us

This is the sound of one voice
One people, one voice
A song for every one of us
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice

The Magic of the Late Jeff Buckley

Jeff Buckley's music is some of the most inspiring music I've ever heard. I mean that. I sat down the other night to sort through my photographs and the album "grace" was playing in the background. Moving my photographs all around the coffee table and sipping my giant cup of tea I was so taken by the music, that I couldn't focus on my photography. I couldn't get past his haunting voice, the subtle truth in his words and the feeling that overcame me was overwhelming. Whenever that album is on in the background I feel parts of my life come flooding back. Some are strong joyful memories and some are more nostalgic and still others are simply ghosts of what once was, making their way into the room and lingering much like the notes of Buckley's music. When I listen to Jeff Buckley I am reminded of what great art is capable of creating - it's capable of actually transcending beyond time and space. Although I want my photographs, poetry, art to have this same type of powerful effect on people - in all honesty the album "Grace" is a snapshot of a moment in time when the universe lined up and everything was in sync. Some might refer to it as a momentary stroke of artistic genius, others might call it a stroke of luck - either way I don't really care, I'm just grateful it is around long after Buckley's death to continue to inspire and represent this beautiful man. As for all of the rest of us, I guess we create diligently and wait, create and then wait some more...and when/if the muse ever decides to inspire us, only then will we truly know the magic -
till' then have a great night.
