Search - Balsam :: Feel the Love. Get the Respect. Co-Creative Friendliness, with Music

"I have never experienced anything like it... I had to stop it at one point, it moved me so deeply... " -satisfied listener

A multimedia package in written word, imagery, spoken word, and music that invites you into the world in which you are profoundly loved and respected.

The music is Alfredo Villela playing traditional Nahuatl (indigenous Mexican) drums and percussion, Balsam singing. The style could be termed earthy, improvisational, experimental, possibly consciousness altering.

"I am meditating with the two sections: love and respect for your thinking process and eating process. I struggle having to eat by myself and enjoying it, and your CD is helping. The one for the thinking process is really helping me to deal with the last piece of my thesis." = another satisfied listener

The spirit of the offering is hinted at in the following:

The Human: "I don't have enough to meet my situation, ever. "

The Wild Creature: "Come to me. I am waiting for you--in secret corners of your form. I create rhythms when you are sleeping. When you awake, you shut them down."

The Human: "I an not capable because I shy away from the physical world, from Nature. My search for escape has filled my body with rusty metal and stagnant, oily pools."

The Wild Creature: "In love, I hunt what is to be hunted. I love the rest in its being. I will nourish you if you let me. When you don't let me, you are in rage and pain. And you cannot understand why life feels so hard and you struggle so much.

"Be with me and learn the flow. Be with me, feel patience, and birthing, and the joy of the sky."

The Human: "Say more. It can't be just the sky you are talking about!"

The Wild Creature: "It is--like this. It is. And I am in it. And I am it. It is tree roots in the ground, clouds in the sky, light on my eye. Sometimes you are it when mouth tastes water, when the dark of your body holds another's light and the light receives the holding. It simply is--my foot with rock, my leg with silk, my wing with air, the air with wing. I do not reject my body and so my body can do things yours dreams of. I do not reject my body so I do not feel the rage that you feel. I accept my body, so I am supported by the community of life.

"I eat life in balance and life eats my offerings, in balance."

"The Human: I come to understand you. The body is. I am. My form is the magnetism into which my soul grows. I live."

"Profound" - a third satisfied listener

Feel the Love, Get the Respect--a journey into it.
