SingPeace! songweavers came together for a transformatiional, (nearly) all-night, 2011 February full moon song-crafting event at the home and "museum" of artist, Jerry Wennstrom and the beautiful and multi-talented, Marilyn Strong. Since a picture is worth at least a thousand words, a video of the setting and work that we were surrounded by will go some distance to illustrate even more vividly the richly symbolic, archetypal and thoroughly amazing environment we came together in
There's no way to convey the magnitude of this work on a computer screen. We're fortunate that a feature film of Jerry's life and art is in the making. My intention, here, is to honor Jerry and Marilyn for their generosity of spirit and genuine hospitality. We sang and played together in this place and did such deep and meaningful work, here, that I imagine none of us will soon forget the experience.
Most rewarding for me, personally, is the confirmation of the power of music to engender peace and healing, for nowhere was this more evident than in the company of the beautiful souls who came together to share their heart's desire for "peace in our lifetime." through song. My hope for the future is in our co-collaborative efforts to encourage others to participate in SingPeace!
