 honoring our world mother
By Jacqueline Blake
I liked the use of the natural sounds of the earth, which includes the humane singing voice and the flute. It was beautiful. Cedar, I find, is one of my medicines, and so I love everything in regards to it. The tones are haunting and the key of the flute is beautiful. One may feel very connected to that which is real by listening to this, and just letting go of the every day rush of things. John Two-Hawks’ voice is Spirit- and Soul-filled, comforting and gentle. Get this!
