We know when the ocean is peaceful, little waves shimmer and glisten in the sunlight, the salty fresh water tickles your toes, you softly hum and sing something fun. Have you ever just sat and sung to the ocean freely? Go on, Try it! The Ocean loves a performance! Improvise and allow your vocals to be guided by the heroic waves flowing up to rich crescendo dancing down to warm, playful decrescendo singing sweetly, softly as you surrender into sheer angelic falsetto pitch. Let the ocean move your emotions, resonate vocal vowels with those sparkly ripples or scat to the bright fierce ocean spray. We chant to free one’s mind captured and mimicking the commotion of trapped Idoling ocean we call rips. The oceans privileged by your raw truth, barefeet and now appears more perky. It’s as though there is a silent grateful sigh of relief knowing, that we both can heal and soothe each other. Mind you, for the ocean it’s only a brief peaceful moment in time and then submissive to the winds command the loyal ocean reforms back to it! The air cools, here comes the winds of change, tide turns into a sad sad servant, surferless and angry, hostile and violent, it’s granting even the most volatile and vulnerable to grieve, wail and scream! With all your might the sad ocean swallows your pain while sustaining from your salty tears. Fearless Ocean is louder than you so Sing Happy, Sing Sad, Sing Peaceful. Do the charleston while dancing and chanting or the Highland Fling, for your worthy audience is waiting with no judgment or echoey acoustics, just the same wave washing up tears from thousands of years! Our Sad Ocean, Happy Ocean, Peaceful Ocean Sing, oh the release and peace it brings. Marie
