My mbira travels to Africa just before I came home to the harp are once again calling to play those mbira notes that make one&#8217;s spirits dance.<\/p>\n<p>Through a few journeys that I will relay in a different time, I came to the poem, &#8220;Ballad of the Harp-Weaver&#8221; by Edna St. Vincent Millay. I will add the poem later. That poem combines two of my passions, weaving and playing in a mythical way.<\/p>\n<p>I passed on Amazing Mazie to the Cuddles project in southern California. They help mother&#8217;s who might abandon a baby. The harp has a permanent home.  Christine had made the connection so the harp could have a permanent home.<\/p>\n<p>I bought my own Amazing Mazie, a flatsicle from the maker of harpsicles. I was surprised that the quality was good and the company very good.. Associated with my Christine, my skype teacher, and Christina Tourin of IHTP.<\/p>\n<p>My harp needs a name. She looks exactly like Amazing Mazie with sharping levers.<\/p>\n<p>She appears in this sequence of photos as I start weaving a path on a 4 shaft loom in the color that came to me in a dream. As you gather, more is going on in the invisible realm than while I was in Ashland. More dreams, more Reiki, more grids with stones of striking color and energy, and more fiber to include fiber optic cable.<\/p>\n<p>I will end for the moment with these photos. This a mundane account of my harp travels so far but I trust that they are only beginning. So more will follow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aprilponders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120212-113712.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aprilponders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120212-113712.jpg\" alt=\"20120212-113712.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now, my journey has expanded.
