Episode 39 - Dan Solo in the mix - Dancing with the leaves - Music for letting go
The leaves are falling, autumn is coming, to me it's a season of tremendous gratitude, of reflection, change and of letting go. In this episode I offer you music, a mix to shuffle around your kitchen, car, headphones, garden etc. There is no conversation here, no guest, no me talking, just 70 mins of deep, cosmic house music, to dance to on the edges of an unravelling world, in times of huge uncertainty, unknowing, confusion, fear and grief and yet at the same time on the edges of huge possibility, potential and beauty. Leaves falling in Autumn to me always expresses a letting go, a beautiful expression of another cycle in the great circle of life. A time of change and of deep gratitude. Leaves seem to dance almost, to spin, float and move with grace as they take their final journey and leave the safety of their home tree. Leaves go on to break down, compost and feed the soil, helping new life to breakthrough, continuing the gifting principle of the more than human world, where there is no such thing as waste ( if they're not sucked up by pesky leaf blowing machines) What are you being called to let go of right now? How might that be compost for your future journey ? How might you move towards these edges of change and not knowing with more comfort? Are you being called to begin a new story? To serve life in new ways ? I know for me there are some very specific shifts arising. Huge gratitude to the most excellent producers of these tracks (you can shazam them, track list below). The intro is beautiful words I stumbled across on the web 'The Crucible of Corona' from Mind Sovereignty (link below), the outro is some owls in my garden recorded one night in lockdown. I hope this mix moves you and helps you to let go of whatever it is that seeks to move through you at this time. What a time it is to be alive. I believe we must keep this space of uncertainty open and resist the urge to 'go back to normal', I think we all know 'normal' never was. The unravelling will continue, but it is clearing the way for new growth, new beginnings, new space, for real breakthroughs in what it means to be human. What we do decide to do now in these times I'm certain will be how we are judged by future generations. We are not separate from nature , we are part of it, we are not separate from each other, we are interconnected with all life. Keep loving, keep caring, keep giving, keep listening, keep collaborating, keep dreaming, keep laughing, keep experimenting, keep reaching out to help others, keep standing up for the more than human world, keep looking after yourself, keep learning, keep the awe and wonder, keep noticing nature, keep dancing, keep the heart open, keep the courage up, keep on creating a more beautiful world. Feeling anxious and scared sometimes I believe means you are fully awake and alive! Keep on becoming crew on this spaceship earth.Turn the volume up! Peace and Out.
