The meditating heart was created in meditation in one live session at Beautiful Futures Studio. Nothing of the original material has been changed even though the 'perfectionist musician' in me wanted to chop and change. But listening back to the original music with others, it became clear that it was telling a story, which wouldn’t be complete, if any parts were removed or exchanged. So I surrendered to a different kind of perfection and hope all of you find your own story or experience in it. This is the story as received and told by my friend Sandra Bohtlingk:

           THE MEDITATING HEART IS A BALLET THAT TAKES PLACE IN THE CATHEDRAL OF THE HEART.

 The Meditating Heart is the name of an angel who hears the voice of the mountains calling her. She hears the crying rivers and the aching, age old stones converse with the wind and stars, all speaking of their pain and sorrow. The Earth begins a lament, which reaches her deep inside, and she knows she is being called to help. From her distant home her virgin voice responds telling the Earth she will come to play her part. As she travels from her home in the stars through time and space she lets out a cry in the dark trying to find a language that suits.

Entering Earth’s atmosphere she once again takes up the role of service and begins to walk the fire. Love arrives by her side and lifts her over the fire delivering her to the altar into robes of gold and white. Here she is prepared. As she embarks upon her mission as bride of the Earth she begins to tell of her love and devotion to Earth and how she has come to assist in Earth’s healing. She receives a Baptism in which she is named and as this is happening she has a dream. In the dream all people of Earth are calling, gently waking her..

Awakening to her new life on Earth, she begins to sing of a new time for all. All the Nature Spirits now arrive bringing her the garment. This is the garment of her new role on Earth, woven of deepest greens, turquoise and purples.
