It’s been a while since I last posted something, and for those who follow my blog or read at least somewhat regularly, you’ll probably have noticed that I deleted some posts because a) the latest post (I’ve deleted) was just me unloading my negativity into the world instead of standing up for myself and actively changing something for the better and b) I get a clearer picture now on what to do with my short story ‘Silence’.
To all my followers: Thank you so so much for still being here and being interested in what I got to say!
I never planned to be absent for so long actually, it just happened. I’m going through rather rough times at the moment, having followed my soul to a point of no return. It’s either go through with it now or die ‘in the harness’, which also leads me to a very interesting financial situation with hardly any space to move. So, if you got something to share, big or small, I will be very happy if you would consider donating something to my PayPal account here.
On the positive side this situation has let me to look at things from a different perspective, because the energies you hold inside are what creates your life circumstances on the outside. I’ve known that since I first read about it, and it’s the thing that gives me strength right now because since we are the creators of our life’s circumstances, we also have the power to change things around for the better with the help of energy clearings and being in the Now. And I can feel how much lighter I become with each and every energy clearing I’m doing 🙂
Plus, I’ve also changed my perspective on the things that I truly want to do. I know I want to make music, I know I want to be an artist. Recently I went inside to see what instruments I truly want to play. And I found that, if money were not an issue (and if some other things were not an issue), I’d love to play Bazantar. Since that’s not an option right now, and I had initially dropped my current double bass because I’ve reached a playing level where the bass itself can’t help me learn much any more, I’ve changed my mind about my current double bass. It also comes with an issue which is the bridge being too high for playing with a bow. Before I initially gave up on my double bass, I’d started ‘repairing’ the bridge by lowering the slits in the bridge to a more appropriate level for bow playing. I’ve begun doing that again. It won’t be long until I can start playing again! Playing this bass now allows me to continue playing until, one fine day, I’ll be able to buy a good-quality 5 string double bass which then hopefully can and will be transformed into a Bazantar.
I’ll let you know how I started playing double bass and how I learnt about the instrument in a later post.
The other instruments I’m truly interested in are the violin and harp. I hope I’ll be able to learn playing the celtic harp in the future, aside from my kantele (which is also described as the ‘Finnish lap harp’, though if it’s technically a harp I don’t know).
I’m really happy about the wonderful progress with the violin I made lately; I’m nearly on my double bass playing skill level even though I just started out playing the violin in Octobre last year 🙂 I replaced the strings with some strings of my kantele to get a different sound, because honestly if money and a lot of other things were not an issue, I’d love to play a violin with sympathetic strings, much like the Bazantar. Dreams …
I hope you all had a wonderful New Year’s party and started off into 2020 well! 🙂
