Gentle Thunder journey performance on Valentine’s Day

arriving to Austin

The evening before the performance, the Austin skies reverberated color for Gentle Thunder’s arrival.

I woke up this morning reflective of the four white flowers on my kitchen table. Amazing. They had been part of Gentle Thunder’s alter the night before.  They were white with green trimmings, and I immediately felt the white light and oneness of our green planet experienced last night.  Then I thought, how appropriate – of all the flowers I handed to the ladies that evening it left four in the vase for me.  A rose for each symbol of seasons – of my life reflections during the energy of the music.

Gentle Thunder before the performance

We were fortunate to have so much creativity and loving guidance.  Gentle Thunder had the vision of Roxann Pierce’s “Aftergow” in front of her hammer dulcimer as she played. Roxann was also there – and the circle of energy entwined.

Guests included the craftsman of this fine piece from Blue Moon Flutes.

If you don’t know, I love sea turtles.  So I delighted in the design of this flute, and the voice it resonated.
