What’s in my shaker basket? #Demo

Posted on by

Download “Review of Rattles and Shakers” Mp3

Length: About 22 minutes

This is a review of my collection of rattles and shakers, 10 in all. And 3 Harmony Balls, which aren’t really shakers, but they live in the same basket!

I purchased these from
Earnest Efforts Etsy Shop
Sunreed Instruments
Hind Musical Instruments

These are my personal instruments; this review is not sponsored in any way. I enjoy incorporating these rattles, shakers, and Harmony Balls into sound healing, musical accompaniment, meditations, and spoken-word poetry.

For free mp3 downloads featuring these instruments in various combinations, please visit my
Rattles/Shakers Category.

I hope you enjoy this tour of what’s in my shaker basket!

The Cosmic Shift #SixSentenceStories

Posted on by

I really have nothing to say about the state of society these days.

Well, I do, but it wouldn’t be fit to print!

Besides, I don’t want to dwell on it, since doing so through lip-service is one of our many human flaws.

On the other hand, burying our heads in the sand is just as destructive.

What, then, are self-aware, relatively well-adjusted, tenuously hopeful humans to do?

Sit down, take a deep breath, become quiet, listen within, and follow our inner direction to be a positive part of the cosmic shift!

Take note of sparkles
Wisps of beauty Nature sends
Hear the fairy song

This Haiku is for
Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge 367 NOTE and Send.

“Fairy Song” is an expanded original piece that began as the “fairy flute” from
In the Fairy Meadow.

It now has a B section–additional melody. I play these 2 parts on Oriole (soprano) recorder, with harmony on alto recorder. Take note of the Harmony Ball pendant as well!

Enjoy!

Download “The Little Horses” Mp3

O hear this peaceful lullaby
That carries you to wondrous dreams
On horses with their manes that stream!
You ride them safely now in flight!
You travel far in sweet delight
Upon your brown or on your bay,
On dappled mare or on the gray.
You dream as high as horses leap,
Your own adventure while you sleep
From moonlit night to sunlit day!

A Decima written for
Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt No. 67: (LEAP) in the D rhyme line.

The background music is the American folk song, “The Little Horses,” which was part of my
Double Strung Experiment series.

This version is played on a true double strung harp, alto recorder, Egg of Creation shaker, maple rattle, and pear branch Little Spirit Shaker.

I hope you enjoy the music and poem!

Rocks and sand and soil
Northern element of Earth
Safe and sound in peace

Safe and sound in peace
Western Water’s changing tides
Cleansing, quenching thirst

Cleansing, quenching thirst
Burning flame of southern Fire
Shedding old for new

Shedding old for new
Eastern Air refreshes, cools
Lifting us in flight

Lifting us in flight
Spirit at our center speaks
Unforgotten Source
