Bones

This piece is a reflection on the last few months of my life. After a very busy and, in my mind, successful year last year I have found myself in new spaces in 2017. Much of what I have known for the last number of years has been in a state of upheaval and transition. This has been unsettling to say the least. In this silent space I have found that there were things to mourn and remember. In the absence of the noise of busyness I have found myself with many unanswered questions and have felt quite lost at times. 

But at the same time this quiet has been so wonderful. I have had to dig deep and have found that there is more substance there than I thought. Gratitude in the small and big things. A transition to something more. Engaging in the secrets that silence has revealed to me. That Still Small Voice, that same voice that boomed loud and clear in times past, has been a constant companion albeit in a sometimes inaudible way; championing me on and teaching me how to be in this new territory. At first the silence was confusing and I felt as if I must have done something wrong; being shunted into a naughty corner. I guess I underestimated the Kindness always directed at me. The Love with which I am handled and the way that He really does know better than me.

An arrow pierces the promise and brings with it the wonder of a new day. It is a relief to still feel a heartbeat in my chest and this is a sure sign that the silence will not always remain, but the secrets I learned there will.

I am a composer/singer-song-writer, muso and producer based in Cape Town, South Africa. I love people and I love stories. I always try to tell a story with the music I write. Sometimes that is my own story and sometimes it's my take on someone else's story. I aim to write music that touches people in some way. And most of all I create as an expression of Love to my Creator.
