A day of work breezed right on by on a writing day. Welcome to the cyber extension of the humble hippie hut. It's been cloudy and warm and my kitties are loving the air conditioning.
The most amazing lightening strike occurred so close to the hut it hit before goosebumps raised on my arms. Heart pounding with terrified excitement, I discovered my heart won't actually leap out of my chest, but my vision was foggy from the flash and my ears were ringing for a while. An experience of energy I'll never forget.
Despite the heat, the hawks have returned after helping the young ones leave the nest. soaring above our little valley to greet the day and scare up some vittles. The Monarchs and milkweed are flourishing as are the ibis and the cardinals are still enjoying the Florida sun.
Today as promised, let's explore the inspiration behind Gateways. Even its detailed meanings to me have escaped the usual self analysis. After thinking upon it during another famous summer storm I discovered the bones lie behind legends retold in The Druid Animal Oracle by Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm. Within the expression I discovered the cycles within the cycles within the circles within the circular flow of our bodies. I discovered the larger cycle of the story of life, along with the intricacies of the cycle of the year, the cycle of a day. The additional melody gave a second dimension adding a description to the aspects of the characters and locations in the story. Gateways embraces the vision I have of the Universe and how it manifests itself in all it has created.
The song also makes me think of Willy Wonka.
If you study or practice Druidry, are Celtic or are familiar with The Druid Animal Oracle, the Gaidhlic in the song will be familiar with you. 😎 Those not familiar, enjoy discovering their meanings:)
I'm delighted Gateways will be my first CD single, my commitment for a release date is for Imbolc, 2018. Hope you'll come back tomorrow to see the story. Some of you know the song already. Hope you enjoy the finished product!
May Awen stir you. ~ hippie
