All italicized words from "Breathe Deep?" by Sara Stutz.

All you need
is a quiet moment.

When I create a project that stretches me, my experience is slinky-like ---
grow, expand, explore --
boing! close in, gather back ---
stretch, unfold, reeeeaaach ---
boing! clutch up, shrink in

And sometimes during wild moments of expansion, or frozen moments of contraction, it's all too much, and I need this wise voice from Sara Stutz's song reminding me to breathe deep, everything's all right... I need to take that quiet moment that brings me back. So steadying.
This Saturday, for whoever is able to join me online, I will be exuberating(!) with a song that came to me at a peak expansion moment -- and when I sing it, it gives me a great sense of lift and release -- pretty raucous! I need both steadying songs, like Sara's "Breathe Deep" -- and the wild, happy places songs! I love the way song can meet the need of the moment -- any moment -- and many of the songcatchers who have shared songs for all kinds of moments will be there Saturday, celebrating the A Breath of Song library! I hope you can join us, too? Click the graphic below the video to get your zoom link....
...and I will be so happy to celebrate with whoever makes it -- I love connecting a face with a name! I also know that life is complicated, so no worries if you can't make it. I'm wondering which kind of moment you're in as I read your name this morning in our living room, which you can see in the video below. I'm holding generous space for whatever this moment is like for you.

Wendy Luella Perkins is a fountain of short, soulful singing meditation songs, a few of which are in the A Breath of Song library -- episode 34 and a conversation with songs liberally sprinkled through for episode 35. She has been designing a beautiful, innovative project to make her songs available to many while also allowing her work to support her living expenses. I was so happy to contribute to this project. Learn more here, or click the picture to watch the video (and hear two of her songs).

Why a gratitude jar?
Because reciprocity counts.
A gratitude jar allows us to receive from you--
and so you give to us who give A Breath of Song to you,
in a beautiful cycle of mutual tending.
Contribute on a one-time or recurring basis:
it's easy, reliable,
and deeply appreciated.
Other ways to give back to us? Of course!
Share, review, comment.
A world jam-packed with people
tuning in to themselves and each other would be
the best reciprocity imaginable.
