I'm on a journey now, or so they tell me. The divers are welcoming me, warning me, reassuring me, encouraging me, celebrating me as I move into the water beside them and allow my cells to dance and splash with passionate curiosity and pleasure. They say it just gets better and better. They say it's addictive. They say it's an entire lifestyle. They say I'm a natural. They agree it's my destiny unfolding.
I am delighted, completely in flow, to be waking up each morning and walking through a little village where everyday is just the same. I write in my journal, exploring the ocean inside me. I push my body to sweat in the open air gym so my muscles will be strong and then I dive into the water to cool off and be free, floating in smooth bliss. I snack on nuts, drink match, sing and read books. I sit on the cliff and produce these little songs and videos.
My GoPro is under the water with me now to capture the liquid light. My microphone and guitar are set up at the end of my bed to capture the prayers sliding through my lips. I'm playing in my elements now more than ever before...water, music and light moving together. I'm playing mermaid and praying through music. I'm not sure what a mermaid really is and I'm not sure what praying really is either so this is all an experiment, exploring some mystical concepts through action that feels good in my body.
I'm falling in love with the colors and sounds of the ocean, the darkness within me, the stillness and silence always available as I hold my breath and listen. This entire experience, everything you see me creating here, everything I'm receiving and giving as a human being, is listening.
This is the first video of many to come, my first go at playing with a camera underwater and creating a song to go with it. What will this lead to? I'm so curious and enthused to witness the blossoming art, born through a journey of adventures.
Please, share with me/us what you see, hear and feel when you watch my new videos, starting with this one. What parts of you rise to the surface? What parts of you deep down are touched? What parts of you feel?
Love & Rainbow Bubbles,
