'Give everything I've got. Give everything.  All the time.  It's great fun. And it is liberating. Absolutely liberating.' Dr. Maya Angelou. 

I will not limit myself to conform, but will be authentic and radically honest in sharing my thoughts and experiences and desires.  I will remain true to my music and to what lies deep within my heart and spirit.  I will be open and more open and then again, more open...to give everything...to be totally present in every moment, so I can give everything I've got...

Thanks JCJCJC for creating this extraordinary energy within me that germinated this music.

CELLO BY HEART

Drone D

There is a world within me that defies logic, is beyond explanation…it creates and floats and soars, and it is not a part of my mortal physical self. And yet, energies found here on earth can set my inner world alight…where the heavens above are mirrored within.  To catch this energy, so much alignment in the real world is necessary, but it is not impossible.  What does this new energy sound like?  Who has pushed it out of me?  Where is it going next?  

My dear Ángel (my divine twin who passed away recently) said to me, ‘M, the wind doesn’t always blow the sails. There is a time for rest.’ My answer to him was, ‘When the wind disappears, I create it myself. I, and only I, am responsible for my own wind.’

I am the center of the energy, always have been, always will be…but I welcome and am always grateful for those who contribute and make it wild…a wild intense ride…

‘Philosophers teach us how to think. Composers teach us how to love. It is a love lesson.’ Paul Tortelier. 

A Love Lesson 




‘Without solitude, 
Love will not stay long by your side.

Because Love needs to rest, 
so that it can journey through the heavens and reveal itself in other forms.

Without solitude, no plant or animal can survive, no soil can remain productive, 
no child can learn about life, no artist can create, no work can grow and be transformed.

Solitude is not the absence of Love, 
but its complement.

Solitude is not the absence of company, 
but the moment when our soul is free to speak to us and help us decide what to do with our life.

Therefore, blessed are those 
who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of their own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do, something to amuse themselves with, something to judge.

If you are never alone, 
you cannot know yourself.

And if you do not know yourself, 
you will begin to fear the void.’ 

~ Paulo Coelho

‘The art of creating is nothing without the vast ongoing participation and collaboration of the real world, nothing without the thousandfold harmonizing of things and beings; and the creator’s pleasure is thereby inexpressibly rich because it contains memories of the begetting and bearing of millions. In a single creative thought dwell a thousand forgotten nights of love, which infuse it with immensity. And those who come together in the night, locked in thrusting desire, are gathering nectar, generating power and sweetness for some future poetic utterance that will sing the rapture.’

-Rilke (from Letters to a Young Poet)

A Love Lesson

“I am mostly made of scars” she said.

“You spelled stars incorrectly” he replied. 

-Kalen Dion Poetry 

Sometimes I wonder why we live…why all of this?  To live is such a confusing and mysterious endeavour. To fill our time with what? To amass things for what? To create for what?  

Everything we do, is because we have not been given a choice. We were brought here to live from moment to moment…from birth, to old age and then fade away.  Everything we are disappears and yet we carry on in the love we have left behind in the strangest of places…the tiniest of spaces…in the hearts of those we touched. 

So to live is to love…the active sense of love. Love in action, in creation, in sharing, in growing, in offering moments of joy and respite to those we meet along this journey. To smile and laugh and feel the joy of purely being alive…we live for those moments.  

To transform our scars into stars is our destiny…to help those around us do the same, is an even greater blessing. 

Today, I am transforming some scars into stars for myself…and to heal some of the deep wounds inside me. This in turn will resound to those near me and around me…

My blessings are great…I am deeply humbled and crumbled…as I open up to new spaces within and out…my heart cannot contain the gratefulness I feel to everyone and everything around me.  

This music is born of this energy.

'I rarely make covers, but this one came in May 2023 just after Gordon Lightfoot passed away. My dear friend JC mentioned it was his favourite Lightfoot song, and I decided to make him a special Birthday present. So the cello instrumental was a present at first. 

I met Tréson at another friend's Birthday Party in July 2023. We connected and said we would do music together! We were talking about covers one day, and I mentioned to him that I have one made already!! He was thrilled when I said it was a Gordon Lightfoot tune! Tréson came into my closet studio to record the vocals (my first time doing any vocal recording!) and it was mixed and mastered by my amazing Rage Angel co-creator, Craig Robert McConnell. 

So here you have both versions...which I love dearly.' - Margaret Maria
