ok i've joined mudcat, and my work is cut out for me, what with all these threads to read and what have you... but, i just realized that it's Easter, celebrating the rebirth of the soul after death, and i've just been treated to a paranormal experience which exactly proves that! I hadn't made the connection before now. i just don't understand any of it - life, talent, inspiration, "why bad things happen to good people", death, karma, and ESPECIALLY I don't ken when things happen which defy modern physics! Playing music - to me - is contingent on a balanced bicycle ride between discipline, and letting go of left-brained activities. Like meditatio it only works when one's heart is open and one's mind is on vacation (not *gone*, just away visiting elsewhere). Where do we go after we die??? Is it the same place we visit when we are able to release our cognition of suffering and daily concerns? When we play inspired music, or paint some creation from another dimension? I shall now go research Mary McLaughlin's 'Daughter Of Lir' and buy it, as it is a great CD, and I had taped it when I was being a dj for community radio, but it suddenly disappeared. Like tithing, it's the least I can do to keep up the Spirit! all my best, valerie
