Tones of Water

The quality of water permeates every aspect of our physical, emotional and spiritual world. Two elements, Hydrogen and Oxygen, the 1st and 8th elements from the periodic table join. Two gases join and create the framework for our lives. How interesting that a compound that is in a liquid state creates a framework, yet it…

Rumi’s ‘Where Everything is Music’ in the key of Oxygen

There is a delight in following a stream of thought, seeing where it meets the next body of thought and how they dance together. The following composition is with my daughter, Siobhan Elia (cello) [https://confluencelearningspace.com/], Larry Stephens (percussion) and me on violin. The field recording is simple and done as a single take. The poetry…

The Human Elements

After what seems like an inordinate amount of time, I have finished working through the elements of the human body. The question now is what to do with this body of work? Or is it, work of the body? While traveling in Europe the summer before last visiting a dear family friend, her partner…

Tones of Copper

I am consistently amazed by the qualities of elements and their interaction with life.

Copper, silver and gold are all elements…

Elements of the Human Body

I became very much interested in the idea of harmonizing the earth and began the first steps of developing a permaculture on 7 acres of land in…

Restoration Agriculture

One year has elapsed since I began writing about healing and vibration, and, color and sound. What a wonder filled journey that has ranged far beyond my initial expectations and explorations that are in fields more diverse than vibrational healing. Little did I expect that along with crystals, aromatherapy, sound healing, song meditation and chakra balancing,…

Lithium, is predominantly green, though it has orange, red and infrared in its fingerprint. I now understand that the colors are emitted by electrons as they return to…
