May 6, 2008, playlist for “Stumbling Upon Moksha” show on CKMS FM:
This show was inspired by what the young Scottish singer Amy MacDonald said about the importance of just being ourselves. As she explains, if we’re busy trying to be someone else, or trying to repress some part of ourselves in order to fit in, we might miss important opportunities to do what we love or to meet someone who's just perfect for us.
At only 20 years old, Amy’s voice is clearly that of an old soul, recalling another wise woman, Joni Mitchell. In her new 2007 classic "If" Joni reminds us all, that we have both the “fight” and the “insight” to be real, choose true, and give everything we've got! (http://jonimitchell.com/musician/song.cfm?id=If)).
This show is a celebration of the wisdom and courage to be-- as honestly and fully as possible. It's a dynamic balance of passion and dispassion, of having active intentions while letting go our our attachment to the outcome. In the end, it's about having a Big Heart and a Big Mind.
