What Folks Say about 
Seen & Unseen: Songs from the Light of Midlife

“Congratulations! Your CD has been playing all weekend, and I have been weeping, smiling, laughing, singing, and loving every bit of it. It sounds so good!
I can hear all of the singers, your voice is front and center, every instrument is clear and well-balanced.......you and the engineer did an amazing job with the mixing/mastering. You must feel soooo good about it.”
***
“ I LOOOOOOOOOVE your CD. It feels like the music penetrates every cell, particle, molecule... of my awareness - and whoooosh, blown away out into the ethers and into the obsidian mystery. Thank you a gazillion times for the gift of it! Yowza! All is love - yeah baby!”
***
"Your music is a wonder.  Dang, it's soul food!  Thank you!"
***
"I love Kathleen's music, because there's so much space in it. 

People can live in that space." 
*** 
"I have been listening to your CD in my car, and I have to keep pulling over
to the side of the road as I weep. Thank you so much for your beautiful music!"

***
"I have been singing Izumi Shikibu's poem "No Part Left Out" all day.
Kathleen, I love your heart, your voice--our heart, our voice."

The Seen & Unseen CD release concert in November, 2013 was a night shimmering with Love which I will always remember.  We were a full house of 16 people on the stage and 220 people in the room. The beauty of that many human voices singing together was so moving...we felt the reverberations of the music down in every cell of our being. As Sharon Blessum wrote, "One Heart singing in 200 voices."  Thanks to everyone who was there in person, and thanks to those of you who were with us in spirit.  I have heard from lots of folks that they are singing the songs along with the CD as they travel down the road and in their homes.  My heart is  very happy knowing that these songs are living with you now.

THANK YOU EVERYONE! 
Thanks to the tremendously generous support of 140 individual donors and an Orange County Arts Commission grant, we met our original goal of $11,000!  17 songs were recorded, mixed and mastered, thanks to the great love and commitment of ten musicians and 31 singers in total. Thanks to Jerry Brown at The Rubber Room Studio for a beautiful job from start to finish, both in his excellent technical skills and in his ability to support and connect with every musician and singer on the project.  Thanks to my partner, Jude Spacks, whose love, support, humor and deeply creative nature keeps me sane and surprised. Thanks to the Bodies, Voices & Spirit Choristas who have loved, sung and shaped these songs for so many years. Thanks to all of you who came to the CD release concert, where we collectively rocked the rafters with Love.  I feel like the luckiest person in the world, and I am deeply grateful to each of you who helped made this happen. More credits and gratitude on this page.

These songs are about Love in the largest sense.
Check out the lyrics.
I'm feeling amazed and so very grateful for the deep Well 
 that has created, rehearsed, played, sung, recorded, funded 
and supported these songs and this project in hundreds of ways.
What a miracle that collectively we are that ever-flowing water!
Thanks to all of us, the world has 17 more Love songs to sing! 
Thank you, thank you, thank you!  
Love & Namaste Y'all

                                        
The slide show above, to the sound track of the song I Know Myself
 is something I made when we started the CD project.
The CD is now a reality, and I'm leaving the slide show up because I like it, 
and because it reminds me of the magic of how this whole project
came together.  To order the whole CD, click

Where Do These
Songs Come From?

In a terrified moment of a midlife health crisis 

10 years ago, I stumbled into self-inquiry... 
asking my heart direct questions about my deepest fears.

To my complete amazement, the Heart responded, opening a door to awareness of 
a profound peace 
I hadn't known (or hadn't remembered) 
is inside me, and inside of everything.

That surprising, ancient, good news expresses
as music -
songs about Love in the largest sense.

I am deeply grateful to the singers of the
Bodies, Voices & Spirit Chorus,
who have
loved and developed these songs with me
as we've sung them together over the years.

.
 Thanks also to the wonderful musicians,
who donated their
time and love
to rehearse and record this album.

.
And thanks to the community of
friends and supporters
who have sung
these songs with us at benefits, in churches,
at interfaith celebrations,
while dancing,
walking on beaches, doing the dishes,
& rocking babies to sleep.
