We brought it on home and wrapped up the Kickstarter phase of my new album.
Now it’s on to the next phases of this wonderful birthing process: finishing the recording, getting the CD itself together, sending goodies to all my Kickstarter backers, and having a CD release concert to benefit Berks Women in Crisis (May 16th! Stay tuned for more info on that)!
“The Land of Love” was written last March. It was inspired in part by the synergy of preparations for Pesach (Passover, when we retell the ancient story of moving from slavery into freedom) and enjoying Martha Beck‘s concept of learning to tune in to which experiences in life give us a feeling of having shackles on and which give us a feeling of those shackles falling away. Hint: Aim toward having more experiences that give you a “shackles off” feeling. So, this song is a way of calling myself and all of us to our truest home: the wandering wilderness of infinite possibility.
Using Kickstarter to raise funds for the new album has definitely been a “shackles off” experience.
I feel heartened by the 123 people who backed me and helped me reach my goal. It’s a money goal, but it’s also much more deeply a goal of inviting the world to support bringing this new creation into being. It’s a way of inviting you to journey with me, always, toward the “land of love.”
Here we go!
