My first and longest standing girl friend I made in Seattle in 1996 brings her lovely haiku and song to our studio. Willow is my dear friend and lover of nature, especially trees. Her poetry extends beyond haiku, and her music extends beyond her and her guitar. And I thank her for sharing a snippet of her gifts with us in this episode.

My dear tree friend Jacque, came through with flying colors as he guided me with the songs and music he wanted to accompany Willow with, concluding with connecting me to Willow's olive tree friend from Tuscany singing a deluge of love for her.

Today's extended episode pays tribute to my dearest Mother Tree friend, Josephine, I have spoken of numerous times since the onset of this podcast.

This morning she toppled from the top of the hill where she has lived for over 100 years.

I have learned so much from this incredible creation of nature; more than I ever could have possibly imagined. And so much music has been inspired by her as well as guided by her for me to sing, messages, love to share from her in a very public way.

I trust I will continue to know her spirit as she evolves to her next iteration of being.

Today's compilation of music inspired by and transmitted from Josephine spans from 2021 up to just last month, December of 2024. These songs have been included in healing soundtracks, creations for specific episodes of this podcast, also excerpts are from my musical creation in 2021 titled, "Blue Pearl" that you can view in its entirety here: http://youtube.com/post/Ugkx__R1TZQBelExioK9kNOqpQNZmNU6kt34?si=BB89JzmWIBDsoPCY

This episode all started with the creation of a Sound Elixir, as Isobel likes to call them, as a gift for a friend. The recipient is a beautiful human being dedicating their life to bettering Mother Earth and humanity, the woods, the whales, and the wind - hence the title of their Sound Elixir and this episode.

Isobel felt inspired to delve into Mother Earth's feelings about the significance every single living being plays on our planetary experience and we hear Mother Earth's response, along with music from the Grandmother Trees.

We also are briefly introduced to Tammi Spring's photos now being included with each week's cover art beginning today. Please visit her website at https://www.tammispring.com. Reset on the Sound is delighted about this collaboration!

Divine Mother of All lavishes us with an Infinity Water Blessing, followed by a guided meditation to loving and embracing our own heart shared by Isobel's favorite mother tree, Josephine. We also receive a song of gratitude and encouragement for our willingness to embrace our heart in such a way.
