Care Dimensions Heartbeat Music Therapy recording

There You'll Be

Supermarket Flowers

This track was made by recording Lars' heartbeat with an electronic stethoscope, then using that as the rhythm track and layering on vocals, guitar, and fiddle. 
Lars is doing well now (turned 17 in 2021), but this recording was made a number of years ago when he was very often quite sick and in the hospital.

Godspeed with Heartbeat (for Lars)

This piece was published in Yes Magazine as "An Anarchist Quaker’s Prayer to Soothe Anxiety." It was written by a therapist to her clients when she had to close her office due to the global pandemic. She agreed to let it be published, and chose to remain anonymous.

To Soothe Anxiety

In honor of Earth Day 2020, Mary De La Valette's poem "Truth and Beauty." Music by Jocelyn Khoo.
I do not have to go
To Sacred places
In far-off lands.
The ground I stand on
Is holy.
Here, in this little garden
I tend
My pilgrimage ends.
The wild honeybees
The hummingbird moths
The flickering fireflies at dusk
Are a microcosm
Of the universe.
Each seed that grows
Each spade of soil
Is full of miracles.
And I toil and sweat
And watch and wonder
And I’m full of love.
Living in place
In this place.
For truth and beauty
Dwell here.
