Love these ideas about vibe and resonance. It is hard and scary to really get behind something you care about.

Wonderful, thank you. The last few days I have been reading and writing about listening for nonverbal communication and 'resonance' is one of the vocal elements. I tried to watch some YouTube videos to understand it---but I got much more from your choir's lovely performance of the song. And your essay takes it so much deeper. I have seen people vibrate with their love for what they are doing, I have vibed myself. It all makes so much more sense to me, I'll remember this essay and the wonderful recording much more than the Youtube videos!

Thanks so much Leslie. They did come up with a great song! I wish I had a real recording, that's just the midi from the notation software that I made the score with, but you can get the idea of how it grooves, right? I love how you connect resonance with listening. In the vocal sense, but also in tuning into our intuition and listening to what feels right in our bodies. ❤️

Hey Lisa. Thanks for reading. I am not feeling like it is my most polished writing, but I feel the sentiment big time too.
