music




"It's impossible for me to say one word about all that music has meant to me in my life. How, then, can I hope to be understood?"

- Wittgenstein, 1949



navaratri




Navaratri is a special time of year when Divine Mother makes Herself
available to us. In the Spring, we are requesting that the seeds we
plant will bring an abundant harvest. Whether we plant a physical
garden/field or not, we can certainly plant 'seed thoughts' and help
them grow. We give thanks for the the blessings upon our 'gardens' and
we resolve to focus upon the higher good for the future. The world is
awash in Blessings!!!

KALI: The first three days are devoted to Kali, the Goddess of
Destruction and Restoration, wife of Shiva; it is a time of
purification, a time to let go of all that is not "on purpose" for
your life. This is an opportunity for "cleaning out your closets" to
make way for new things.

Night and Day One:
