I was assigned My Free Mickey which was quite a blessing indeed. I did not have to look far into this generous library to find inspiring material to work with. Thank you MFM for being such a super ccM citizen!

I hope you and yours are faring well during this turbulent time. That we can be here together is a resource for which I am infinitely grateful.

I have not had much time or space for creativity these days. I am still working my day job, serving my community, and taking care of my household. I am happy to have this opportunity to make something.

Being in creative process is as good for regulating the nervous system as certain prescriptive somatic techniques. Thank you everyone who is ccMixter. Thank you for being a healing space through support and creativity.

The lyrics/images for this work come from my esoteric practice, including a consultation with the Sage of the IChing Saturday 4/4/2020. I drew Hexagram 3: New Beginning, also known as Difficulty at the Beginning, Beginning, Sprouting/The World Tree. In a “modern” Toltec interpretation, this hexagram is known as Uprooting Fear. My question was, “what do I need to know?”.

I look forward to listening to everyone’s offerings over the next days. Stay safe my friends.

Gravity and Grace

The crow came to me in the morning Heralding the change
He and his partner are nesting In the palm tree two houses away
I feel safe when he is watching He protects us all from prey
Though sometimes he’s mistaken About what he chases away

(If we could be together
We would dance under the stars
Within each others arms… .)


We are witnesses you and me Difficulty at the beginning
As the towers fall and all that we thought we knew Crumbles as it’s ending
Some of us have little choice Doing what we must
Others are still afraid Despite a life of abundance
Our choices matter in the end We are all the same
Flesh and breath Life and death Gravity and grace

For some of us this is the end The end of everything
For each of us that still exists This is a beginning
There is a place for you Make an offering You will succeed
This is the world The world for us There is a place for me
Our choices matter in the end We are all the same
Flesh and breath Life and death Gravity and grace

Be not afraid when it’s dangerous Trust your courage Trust your trust
Uproot fear among our companions Be like a jaguar among rabbits

Our choices matter in the end We are all the same
Flesh and breath Life and death Gravity and grace
