Overwhelmingly, we live in a world that has disregarded the sense of and importance of beauty. Yet many of us sense that this is about to change ~ it must change, if the world is to continue, if it is to be reborn. Beauty
is where
the infinite
becomes
intimate
~ John O'DonohueBeauty is one of the subtlest ways of the sacred feminine wisdom. It is born of deepening presence to the sacredness of everyday life, and the creative divine power of the imagination.
Beauty makes life on earth not only meaningful but magical.
Beauty is awakened when we see beneath the surface, beyond dualities… when we see with the eyes of the heart. Its mystery is that it contains not only the light, but the darkness as well.
It perceives the Reality beneath apparent reality, sees potential wholeness within what is wounded, fragmented or seemingly “ugly.”
To awaken to beauty is to make life one continual praising. To awaken to beauty is to live within the palace of the soul, to shed the tattered overcoat of poverty and to reveal the majestic inner robes of our own divinity, the sacred mystery which contains us and within which we have our breath and life. To awaken to Divine Beauty is to become a conscious co-creator in existence.
And so I offer this web site, all those things made by my voice and my hand and the music that has always sung softly beneath everything, in honor of the Divine Feminine wisdom and of Beauty. May we know the presence of the eternal that resides in every breath, and find our way back to the magic and mystery of our being here.
