Fearless

This first song 'Fear' by Sarah McLachlan resounds with power. The kind of power that comes when you swallow the fear and propel yourself against it.... into heady fearlessness. This song is my reminder that fearlessness goes hand-in-hand with being true to yourself. If you have the courage to do that, then everything else, all other fears, will naturally dissolve. Now, to hear this song again, is always an ear-opening epiphany. Feel the goosebumps:

And soaring into the lovely heights of living without fear...

Infinite Stars

'The sky was starry to the very rind,
his smile still burning there
like the tail of a comet
that has just blazed by.'
                                       ~Linda Pastan, 'Dreams' 

Jaded But Hopeful

What a joy it is to discover a new artist - the world suddenly sounds better, new. Sharon Van Etten has such a great voice - raw and rangy, emotional hues that go up and down, plumbing a scale of blues.
