.: MESSAGE FROM CORNFLOWER
Greetings my fellow travelers!
This past month has been tremendous, tumultuous, and it isn't
over yet!
With the fires in California, the floods in the MidWest, the
banks on shaky ground, oil prices rising, saber rattling in Iran,
it would seem if our days are numbered. Yet the one thing I am
reminded daily is that there is a Sun that wakes me each day and
a moon that lays me down each night. This never changes. These
cycles we can synchronize to... like our breath... they are there
for us in times of need, in times of despair, in times of
struggle.
We need not fear the unknown, for the unknown has many gifts for
us. So let us allow our fears, see them, acknowledge them...
and as one of my greatest musical influences and inspirations,
Peter Gabriel, sings in the song "Darkness" off of his album Up,
"I have my fears... but they do not have me."
This music that pours through me, is here to support this new era
and initiate this awakening and offer people inspiration and joy
along their journey. I trust that this music will reach out and
touch you in some way, lift you up on a cloudy day, inspire you
to rise beyond the identities and the separation. Whatever it
does, I am eternally grateful to be an instrument of this Great
Music. Thank you from the center of my being for listening.
In Gratitude...
Cornflower
