The Green of Life

Written by Cris Williamson on . Posted in Blog

Almost my 54th birthday. Up towards the rainy gray sky, the tulips are poking their pointy green heads out of their oaken barrels in front of my house. I too, am beginning to inch toward the LIGHT toward the GREEN of LIFE.

In every wild instance, I faced and embraced hard the things I was most afraid of. I am hazarding a guess that perhaps after all, the state of groundlessness is the very nature of things. Oddly, I take refuge in this, harbored by deep friendships, by the interlaced support of hearts and minds, holding me, waiting for me, waiting for these new songs, these spells for grief.

I was in Seattle recently, and I laughed so hard and had such a good time. Oh blessed joy! I dreamt there of another title, "Ashes," for the new CD. "Lucky Dog" my previous choice indicated the positive frame of mind I constantly picture for us all, a tongue-in-cheek attitude I love, but I feel that "Ashes" is a more accurate painting of last year's turn in the CAVE of SORROW.

I'm beginning to feel FAMILY again. I am growing closer to those who love me ... I may be a human being yet. So ... for you who are my FAMILY: the CD is aiming for recording the last week in March I don't know about release date yet, but soon I will and you'll be the first to know, I promise.

Thank you for my life, for holding me so I could get well.

With so much love,

CRIS

And did I say I'm mad for the Dixie Chicks? And that Pema Chodrin's "When Things Fall Apart" saved my sanity at a hard crossroad.
