Song

It is Kirie Te Kanawa singing "Let the Bright Seraphim"  at the Wedding of Diana and Prince Charles in St Paul's Cathedral.  Angels decorate the 4 corners of the ceiling.  Kirie wore an outfit of pink, blue, green,  including little hat.   Wide mouth.
It was a cartoon for a tapestry made in Egyptian knot,  a piece 12 inches by 12 inches,  each square inch has 144 stitches.  Natural vegetable dyes.   There is a school in Harrania-  the founder taught children to weave.  He made them do their own designs, uninfluenced by adult image-  and all power to him too.  The childrens' designs are incredibly beautiful,  and you can Google search for them.

My tapestry's photo is somewhere... it will be put here soon.

Work is done from the back, cartoon is behind, so it is mirror image.
Wool dyes are natural, indigo blue, Coreopsis yellow,  brown is ....,  green is purple leaf flowering plum and mordant  then rinsed in dilute washing soda to change pH.



The idea is that often my images are of faces with mouths wide open.  Screaming maybe.  Primal screams.  And they may be people Singing.   My feeling is that singing can and will heal the Earth and us people.  I will have more to say on this.

Last weekend ABC Radio broadcast 100 Swoons  -  music of the highest order, as voted by listeners of the world.  And may it be that there has been Great Healing of the suffering in our beautiful Sensitive Planet Earth.  Amen.

Bless all Composers and Musicians, men and women,  In fact it was sopranos Sara McIver  and Jane Sheldon, and composer Elena Kats Chernin who brought a catch to my breath and tears to my eyes!   Australians make  great music too.
You can listen more online all over the world.
Bless all Countries.  Bless all Beings.  Bless ourselves.

Marco Pogacnik - a video interview of him is on this blog in the next few posts (above).

I want to speak about his way of healing a Nature Spirit who had been suffering from fire burns long ago.  A group of Marco and his companions SANG in harmony - and the Being was healed-  after many hundreds of years' anguish and pain.

My feeling is that our fabulous singers and choirs could do such great Service to Gaia and the Earth and all creatures and beings!
One story that I once read was of Druids singing to lift lintel stones.....the bass note helps considerably,  but the high notes are important too.

********************************I shall find quote reference from his "Elementals" book.

The Sinner Has Already been Sinned Against

This sentence has rung bells in my mind for a long time.  Others has said this-  I heard it on ABC Radio National.   A kind of confirmation.... The sinner has already been sinned against.

On BBC Arts, the famous Iraqi singer Sammi Yusuf was asked what he thought of the ISIS Fighters.  He said "They are maniacs.  They need help"  I was astounded, and glad to hear it.  People who have suffered war all their young lives must be suffering constant PTSD.  And.   Why did ISIS arise?  Apparently because former US President George Bush sacked all of the Iraqui Govt and Army etc--  Sunni people,  many clever and able.  Where would they go?  How could they earn a living to care for their families?   Big mistakes have been made,   and apologies are required,  not more war!

Moreover,  I have mentioned previously.  The serial sex killer Chikatilo from Russia  was said to be a person who survived in the womb as a foetus the abortion attempts of his mother!  (Ref = Ringing Cedars book).   The human is extraordinarily sensitive.  Treated with kindness it blooms but if abused it can become damaged-   and how!  This soul can end up with hatred for women.
All you need is Love,  if possible....if only.......  

HH The Dalai Lama says "Bless all Beings,  Bless yourself".
I would add "Bless all Countries".  Damaged people butcher the environment with no care for future generations,  for there is never enough money to compensate them for their loveless lives.

These are my thoughts.  I wonder who else may echo them?

Moreover it is my thinking that it might be wrong to Forgive.
Bless the person,  as his right is to be a Divine Soul,  but his or her actions may be totally and forever Unforgiveable.  That would underline the enormity of much that we are made to take for granted.  The Fifth Agreement is:  Be skeptical of everything.  But Listen!  Listen for what rings true.
