Connections

Before Live Your Peace movie and interview series was a glint in Ruth’s eyes she heard Peter Moses speak at Circle of Miracles interfaith communiy. During Peter’s talk which included stories about his music, zen experiences and life’s big lessons on a spiritual path, Peter played his origonal songs on the guitar. Ruth found herself jotting down, “Connections” a poem she wrote half her life ago at 17 during one of her poet, dancer performance artist friend Rocky Wilson’s poetry readings whose writings were inspired by Walt Whitman. Then during Peter Moser’s talk at age 34 a response came to her teenage self in a Peter voice. After Peter’s talk, Ruth shared with him how his music and talk inspired her new perspective. That’s when Ruth made a bold request to a new friend to collaberate on a song.

Peter graciously invite Ruth to come to his home studio one Saturday afternoon. Peter quickly realized instead of writing an intricate melody and teaching Ruth how to sing, it was ideal to recite the lyrics and Peter offered to add original music in the back ground in a few months when he had the help of his musician friend. Ruth and Peter did multiple takes but the first reading of “Connections” was selected. Fast forward a year later the finished recording has been shipped to Ruth’s office and is now available for your enjoyment. You never know where your dreams will lead you. Be inspired. Follow your inner guidence. Make bold requests and enjoy how amazing connections take flight!
