‘The Echoes of Stars’-original song/video

Dear friends,

Following my previous post, I have needed to retreat in my cave and tune into all the grief and losses I have experienced this last year so that I could truly witness, acknowledge and honour the feelings with an open heart and find a way of moving forward.

So yes I have felt deeply and it was overwhelming at times. However, this process has allowed me to tap into even more gratitude for what is and more awe for the life that has been given to me. To feel loss means we have connected deeply. To accept what cannot be changed means we are neither fighting ourselves or the universe – which is such extremely liberating, to say the least !

So here in my cave, there were moments of inertia and feelings of drowning but also moments of revelation and light.

Today I want to share my song ‘The Echoes of Stars’ that I posted a couple weeks ago on my youtube channel. I had so much fun making this video. I hope you enjoy to too.


“Come and dance with me
Swirl, fire burn,
Echoes of dreams calling, calling, calling
Fields of gold growing
Then the dance…

Trust the space inside
Swirl, fire burn
Echoes of stars falling, falling , falling
Fields of gold glowing
Then the dance…

Melt the fences defences
Swirl, fire burn
Echoes of freedom soaring, soaring, soaring
Fields of gold flowing
Then the dance…”

So will you come and dance with me?….

Grief, My Faithful Friend

Grief, My Faithful Friend, I bow to you

November’s magical full moon looking after us …

The power of grief strikes in mysterious ways.

Deep sadness and longing.

Connection and separation.

Emptiness.

Layer upon layer

Undressing our concepts of reality,

Repainting the limits of  pre-established horizons.

The veil grows thinner and thicker, thicker and thinner

as the winds of change caress our soul.

Our heartbeat aches for a whisper, a hand, a laughter no longer here.

As I slip into the velvet feeling of your presence and existence,

The sweet scent of a golden memory

Catches my spirit and brings me back to the ‘no beginnings, no ends’.

Time stops and stretches simultaneously.

And I know,

I know that I am but a keeper of the eternal flame.

– with deepest love and gratitude for you Karen, beautiful friend and fellow seeker… I am beyond blessed to have shared some of this earthly journey with you. Shine bright star, shine…

‘Rock with Me’ – Original Song video

I am really excited to announce that I will be more present on this blog very soon. Many seeds have been planted and projects are emerging which I will tell you about in my next post.

In the meantime I have a song video I posted on youtube a few weeks ago which I haven’t shared with you here and want to share with you now :O) So here it is. With much love always ????

Original song and video by Natacha Dauphin with medicine drum, Tibetan bowl and voice.
Grief takes you to strange places – some difficult places, some beautiful places. This summer I played my drum until its soothing heart beat reached mine and brought me comfort. I felt my dear friend Keith by my side and inside my own heart. And this song came – with this phrase over and over again “Rock with Me…”
…. I rocked until the tears stopped flowing.
The footage is a big mixture of clips I have taken over the last few months. The gnome sculpture from a garden in Gloucestershire, umbrellas in Coppergate in York, the High Force waterfall in the Dales, the candle from a Diwali Festival, me on the swing in the middle of nowhere on a walk in the Dales (Thank you to Jonathan Tapp for filming this one), The Tree full of ribbons and colourful pieces of cloth in Lithuania.
Writing on a bench in Rowntree park in York (Thank you Jeanne Chanet Garcia for filming this one)

“Rock with me
‘Till our loving tears are set free
Rock with me
‘Til you feel my heart in yours beat
Rock with me
For as long as you need
Rock with me
I am gone but I will never leave
I am with you, always
I will never leave
I am with you, always
I will never leave
I’m holding you tight
Lifting you up – higher
Into all forms of being
I’m holding you tight
Holding you tight
Deeper
Separation’s far from real
Hear me
I am with you, always
I will never leave
I am with you, always
I will never leave
Rock with me
Through those dreary days and rough sea
Rock with me
‘Til you feel my spirit laugh and be
Rock with me
For as long as you need
Rock with me
I am gone but I will never leave
I am with you always
I will never leave
I am with you always
I will never leave
I’m holding you tight
Lifting you up
Holding you tight…”
