Dear Traveler,

A few days ago I was reminded of this song, and wanted to share a verse of it with you. More posts coming soon...

With love,
rosemary

...Baptism of fire, all happening within
Illusions burn like tall grass
In the wild and reckless wind
And now they're coming down around me
...And I am rising up
Like a great bell resurrected
Ringing loud and true
The only way out is through.

Julie Snow (from the song "Same Rain")

Hello,

After hearing you being interviewed on the radio this afternoon I just wanted to share with you how moved both myself and my daughter (she is four years old) were. All that you said resonated so deeply about being positive and living your truth and at one point my daughter said, from the back seat of the car "mommy, I want to give her a big hug" and truthfully I felt the same way. Your voice is so pure and full of light and love and we wish you the very best and really thank you for being such an inspiration. Your words and song resonated deeply within. I practice aromatherapy massage and have used various methods of music/sound/tonal paths, exploring that path of healing so I admire you for your strength and the connection you have for healing through music.

I just wanted to say thank you, for being the person that you are, even though I don't know you, I felt your words, your song, and your spirit as did my daughter,

Peace and warm wishes,
Stacee and Isobel

What a delightful surprise it was to hear the lovely interview with you on the CBC. Such a multi-talented woman you are! Thinking of and rooting for you as you struggle to regain your health. Sheila

Dear Rosemary,
I have been following your blog with awe and admiration!

I cannot tell you how beautifully you describe from your very own experiential journey what it is that I teach in my workshops.Words so often fail me when people ask me what is this thing called Focusing that you teach. I realize now I only need to point them to your blog for the articulate and inviting answer to that question.
Your lovely relationship with Self and the inner knowing, the access to what is your Truth, your blueprint for moving forward during the challenging times etc. you continue to describe with your wonderful gift for language that marks your songs. Your loving and compassionate connection to your body and its struggles are where all the healing lies and your account of you in the shower accessing your inner sense and knowing of what to do next is a most awesome example.
You are on the path towards healing and how fortunate for all of us to be able to give witness to that. Thank you for your generous sharing. I look forward to adding the new songs (that surely will come from all of this) to my collection of Rosemary Phelan songs and music!! My continues Love and Prayers
Lucy
