In welcoming new people at the door...

Inspired by my passion for music....

I created a musical journey called Joy Weave World Music Style to wish you a happy New Year.   Because of the limits of copyright law, I can't send out the music directly, so the above link is to a published iMix (okayed by wordpress as a non commercial offering).

If you are interested in an in-depth source of world music, I highly recommend www.backroadsmusic.com.   

Blessings to all!

Each CD became a doorway of discovery and my relationship with world music grew alongside my children.  With the invention of lap tops and iTunes, I now curl up with head phones and weave different songs into a tapesty of support for an upcoming healing event. 

Because my intention is that a musical weaving will reflect the unique essence of an event, I often find myself changing songs until the last minute.  For many years I thought I was caught in obsessive compulsiveness but too often I've switched a song, scolded myself, and then received notice about a change with participants or in the event itself. 

Deciding which song attends in what order can be quite a negotiation.  I've learned to trust my community of songs.  They let me know what they need and it's my job to get out of the way and listen.   If I feel a song hit a discordant note at an event, I shake off blame and thank the song for the lesson.  After all, a relationship isn't about perfection, it's an opportunity to learn and grow along the way.
