FRAGILE
So fragile this petal the earth,
as fragile as
LOVE.

While recording songs on this CD, I had a dream in which I was given the title for the recording, Heartpsalms of the World. I was told in the dream that my dream image would be the illustration for the cover of the CD. My interpretation of the dream image is that it depicts the feminine path of the heart and the awakening of the heart of the world. The color of the woman in my dream is earthen. She is grounded in the earth, while bathed in the radiant light of the Divine. She cradles an ancient globe of the world from which love flows, as symbolized by the heart pulsating from the globe. It is She, who as a mother, cradles the world from which love flows. The dream image has no specific features but rather remains in an unknown form. The image reminds me of these words of Lynn Barron from chapter seven of The Unknown She by Hilary Hart (by permission of The Golden Sufi Center, www.goldensufi.org): |

|
|
| Enter Her Light |
|
and Her light will
|
|
take you to the treasure. |
| Enter this luminous blackness |
|
and She who is love itself |
|
will take you deeper and deeper |
|
into love. |
|

Love flowed as I recorded the psalms. This “Unknown She” was present, singing Her psalms of the world through me, taking me deeper into Love. As I continued to record the psalms, I began to notice a pattern which seemed to fit the chapter headings in Perfume of the Desert by Andrew Harvey, (Wheaten, IL: Quest Books, 1999). The five psalm headings on Heartpsalms of the World depict the wayfarer's individual journey back to the Source. In the final stage of the journey, the wayfarer is in joyous service to the heart of the world. This service involves returning the sacred to life through the feminine path of the heart. Through living more deeply within ourselves we nourish ourselves and all of life. By learning to be attentive to Love and living from the center of our Self, the heart of the world awakens to Love.
With love,
