life: acoustic & amplified

the ache

“We ache to touch intimately what is real, to find the marriage of meaning & matter in our lives & in the world. We ache to feel & express the fire of being fully alive. Willing to do our creative work. . . .we add a life-sustaining breath …to the world.” ~ Oriah Mountain Dreamer from “What We Ache For: Creativity & The Unfolding of Your Soul.” There are thousands of ways to be creative today- to allow our imagination to lead us into new ways of being with what is- in a business meeting, in front of a canvas, in making a meal, in writing on the page, in walking down the street. Creativity sees the patterns we create in our days & then moves in them & with them in a new way. It is what enlivens the familiar, reroutes the habitual, opens us to seeing & making new flashes of brilliance & beauty. It is how we co-create the world.
