This is a truly magical time of year – not because of the inevitable lead up to Christmas, not because of the mad rushing around, not because of the frantic present buying, not because of all the fun, parties, reunions and celebrations – and not even because of all the pretty lights.
This is a magical time of year because there is no other time that invites us with such persuasion and integrity to enter the womb of darkness, to visit, journey and to embrace all that is found there – raw and unveiled.
This is a magical time of year because despite the unknown, the unresolved, the shadows, we are never left without our inner flame, our eternally devoted candle to explore and be.
This is a magical time of year because we are fully invited to shed layers, skins, barks, to let go of what no longer serves us and see our beautifully divine, mystical and earthly nature.
This is a magical time of year because we are invited to be who we are – just that – nothing more… BUT nothing less…
This is a magical time of year because we are invited TO BE the MAGIC that we ARE.
Here is my little contribution to this journey: ‘Enchant me’- my latest song and video.
“It’s gone midnight, in this lonesome town
No one around, not a single sound
There on the ground
Right on the paving stones
My very soul battles with my bones.
I said, ‘soul, don’t fall that low’
She said, ‘no no no, I’m here to rise those bones’.
I said, ‘what has death been so?’
She said, ‘no no no, life’s here to rattle those bones…’
Enchant me with your smile
Enchant me with your grace
Enchant me in style
Let my heart race…
Someone’s holding the light up there
Someone really cares
So rattle those bones ’til the night gets scared
Rattle those bones ’til there’s no weight bare…
Dance with me right through the night
Dance with me ’til you feel alright
Dance with mean in this wild light
Dance with me …
Enchant me with your smile
Enchant me with your grace
Enchant me in style
Make my heart race”

I wonder if you are influenced by Leonard Cohen… I hear echoes of his poetry and his music
WOW what a compliment. I like it. Thank you Louis. I don’t have any of his music but I might be unconsciously…. who knows…
Loved reading and listening in the middle of a dark night Natacha. Am so grateful to your commitment to your life and work – it has been a light and blessing to mine – would not be where I am without you and I am grateful. Xx
Aww bless you Julie. Thank you.
