Happy Heart day, all!
I’m pleased to finally share the music video for Dryad’s Dream, a song off of my recent EP Pendula .
I am grateful to Garrett (of Cosmic Reach Media) who helped me bring this vision to life . Garrett, your exquisite cinematography & set/ lighting direction are truly top tier ; the way you captured this vision is just so stunning . This video would not have happened without you ; thank you for this amazing collaboration .
I am also immensely thankful to Paul Zuker for sharing in this expression with me ; for exploring the characters , Spirit & Dryad , and for channeling this emotional landscape . Paul you are such a powerful artist ; thank you for spending an afternoon getting dirt under your nails and dancing with such grace and feeling .
Also very special thanks to Dawn Weaver , Jon Patty , and Jill Gibbons , for their assistance. Cultivating the mood with fog & lighting effects , being on-hand nail techs , keeping crumbling clay skin moisturized , and of course for loading out the mound of soil in a record breaking ten minutes at the end of our studio time slot (haha) . Thank you for being such an amazing on-set crew , and supporting this shoot ; it really means so much to me .
And to everyone who takes the time to watch this video ; I am grateful to you ! Many hours of planning the concept , costuming , choreography , as well as reworking the originally released song and editing the music and video in tandem to create an integrated piece have resulted in a piece that I have really poured my heart into over the past couple of months . Valentines Day seemed a fitting time to release this part of my heart .

there is something so special about meeting the child of a friend you've known a very long time . a reminder of how life evolves and expands , always . & yes, times are strange and the future is filled with uncertainty.. but lifting up the next generation with love and compassion is a quest that will never diminish in importance .

"I don't know if our life has a purpose, and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass."
~Ursula K. Le Guin, from ‘The Lathe of Heaven’

I’ve heard spun the tale;
that I am the apple and you are the tree…
But this metaphor falls short,
of what I’ve come to believe.
What if you are the bole,
and I the bough, and your mother
-passed beyond the veil- the roots buried in the earth?
What if it is not a wheel, circling round and round
-tree, apple, tree-
but an eternal growth from ground to sky, with ever an upward reach?
What if, with each turn of the triad
-maiden, mother, crone-
there turns a new page in the same book, from the same tree grown?
Perhaps my story -our story, I mean-
is not that we are the fruit that fell,
but that we weave from this same tree
the threads of the story we tell.
We are each meant to bloom, to fruit,
& to let our leaves dry and fall;
but with these ephemeral things there grow rings within rings;
a tale within each of us, of all.
