Music From The TV Series Playing With Fire

Crow Hop : White Tail Cree : Electric

I am moving so quickly through space and time…it is taking my breath away.  I am detaching from any form of attachment…or at least I can see my form disintegrating and running through my fingers.  I can’t grasp onto anything. I am holding my hands open as the world revolves around me.  What I have been fighting, I am now just beginning to surrender to.  It feels both horrible and incredible. 

The music ‘Through Her Glistening Eyes’ is taking me from one space into the next. It all began with the Goddess of Edges and Listen 51. To go higher…and inevitably I meet yet another spirit who maybe cannot hear me…but is listening…but this time, I am not disturbed by the fact.  I am accepting.  

I open up now, as an eagle or a dragon, or a moth…to fly up to find something…the paradox of letting go and finding something is embedded in my bones/wings…

As I lay here…arms open, hands open and relaxed in surrender…I sit still…I await…a cosmic new energy is coming into my orbit and I am positively joyous to discover what it means. I open and open and open and move through and around to explore this remarkable new energy. 

The quieter I sit, the higher I fly…the more my hands stay open and accepting, the more energy I can feel…the more I embody ‘If it comes, let it. If it goes, let it’, then I am ready to fly…ready to be so free…it feels revolutionary…it will now find its way into the music…

My revolutionary new music will emanate…I am simply taken away…gone gone gone… -MM

“When you're deeply sensitive
Love is ecstasy. 
Music is godlike. 
Heartache is a wide, somatic wound. 
Visual natural beauty is jewel-drenched
Wild bliss. 
Tension and conflict are muscle tightening 
And toxic, straight down to the cells. 
So how do you hold it all? 
You rinse
Recenter
And remain clear. 
You recycle your sensitivity 
By propelling yourself and others 
To create waves of change 
In a super starving world. 
Direct your passion 
By spreading your heart 
Only across what clearly matters most. 
Surround yourself with the souls 
And spaces that groove alongside your own- 
The ones that also desire to chase the beauty, 
Courage and freedom 
We're all here to teach each other. 
Choose love over fear 
And let go of the rest
Breathing what isn't best up out of your bones. 
Remember—
There is power in the body. 
Harness it for the greater good
And allow nothing confusing
Peace disrupting
Or harmful stand in its way. 
It is beautiful to feel in a body made for feeling
And exist intensely on a planet exuding intensity.”

— Victoria Erickson

LOVE AFTER LOVE

The time will come 
when, with elation 
you will greet yourself arriving 
at your own door, in your own mirror 
and each will smile at the other's welcome, 

and say, sit here. Eat. 
You will love again the stranger who was your self. 
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart 
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you 

all your life, whom you ignored 
for another, who knows you by heart. 
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, 

the photographs, the desperate notes, 
peel your own image from the mirror. 
Sit. Feast on your life.

- Derek Walcott

Her Heart On A Platter

We travel alone in all the important times that we grow. We have our tribe, our friends, our family, to help us along the way. But it becomes so quiet and still when we need to truly grow. Growth and fear and grappling with the unknown in this world and in our next travels, feels highly volatile…the perplexing instability of the human life form that is neither particle nor wave, but a figment of a fraction of our time spent in this human life form. 

I cannot settle my spirit. It had known settlement and comfort, but that illusion dulled my senses, my inner thoughts and knowings. And although it brought me great pleasure and happiness for the time it was present, deep down I always grapple with our humanity and our purpose as a species…time is of no essence…the spirit lives in its own time and space.

So what am I describing in this music? What have I written?  I know exactly what I have sketched out. I’ve sketched out our infinite search for when our spirit will find a home…whether it’s beside a lake, in the eyes reflecting back at us, in the stars, in the wind whipping through our hair, in the smell of the fire, in the touch of a loved one or in the sounds of a song…our spirit dances and soars and takes infinite shapes as we journey and grow…

I write something of this journey…
