Patty Ann Smith ~ Art, Nature, and Cultures Healing Our Planet and Ourselves
with the music of life,
natural movements,
the voice of the woods,
and the peace of the forest.
“The pulse of the world is music ~ music we can hear and also the music we can’t hear which is constantly going on in every living thing.” ~ Patty Ann Smith *The Music and Rhythms of Life*
My musical roots are in the folk tradition of my Irish-American heritage, and I like to be outdoors in nature where naturally magical things are occurring every minute…even though we don’t usually see them. That’s probably why the leprechauns came into being…to help us to dream and imagine and continue to be creative.
I came from an era that thought it was on the verge of changing the course of history by transforming the world into a global community of peace. And despite the many disappointments since then, I still carry that torch.
I guess if I yearn for anything,
It is for the Divine Union
Of Art, Music,
And the Dance of Life.
~ Patty Ann Smith
Throughout history, human beings have responded to their experiences in life…with art. Nature has always been our common bond, and art has always been our cultures unique expressions of it. We created stories and pictures to describe our awe of nature and help us not to fear the unknown. ~ Patty Ann Smith
Me and My Guitar
Back to mother earth,
The Holy Grail,
The woods.
For thousands of years
The patriarchy has tried to obstruct and pervert
Man’s ability to reach the holy grail.
The arch of a bow
Was made from seeing a rainbow
And the string connecting both ends of the bow
Becomes the Earth’s horizon.
In my guitar is the mystery of the rainbow,
The golden chalice,
The “Pot of Gold”
The Holy Grail ~
And the meeting of heaven and earth.
~ Patty Ann Smith
