What we play is life

In the words of legendary jazz musician and singer Louis Armstrong, ‘What we play is life,’ meaning that life is a game, playtime, fun, and a time to create, experiment, and create experiences. Let this moment be as it is intended to be and allow ourselves to immerse totally in it.

Life is a single constantly changing and unfolding now moment. It is the moment in which everything occurs, and the universe always gives us what we need. Everything is as it is meant to be.

We can then go with this and create our art, music, dance, laughter and whatever wants to flow from our soul…let it out to play.

It is important to go with this flow of electricity, energy, and creative juice and not to resist it.

Play, play and play some more. Dance, dance and dance some more. Laugh, laugh and laugh again. Be light, do not be serious and live this moment always. Do not dwell in the past or imagine the future, these are all states of our unconscious mind. Be conscious and create…keep playing the tunes that are the essence of our soul and what makes life a magical experience.

What we play is life.

RISE UP

Autumn in the Weald by Philip Dodson
RISE UP

Like a fire the leaves rise swirling like flames
The wind catches them like sails at sea
The swirl of colour as they leap their final dance
The breath of change is upon us all
Autumn is here we are approaching the cold

Warm our hearts with the rising that nature brings
Warm our hearts with the beauty of it all
Warm our hearts with what we have already
Warm our hearts with the connection to mother nature
Warm our hearts and dance with leaves

The fire of autumn will die as winter comes
Don't wait for what might be
Rise up now with the wind
Like a phoenix from the ashes
One last dance, one last hurrah, one last leap
Don't wait for winter...rise up now and dance
