Soulsong: A Journey of Wisdom and Transformation
I once believed silence was strength. That to endure meant to swallow the ache, to carry it in my bones and wear a smile that masked a thousand storms. The women before me had done the same. And the men—they bore a different silence. One carved through with duty, toughness, and isolation. None of us were truly heard. Not in the way our souls longed to be but something was always singing underneath. A faint vibration in the chest, a whisper in the wind, a tremble in the earth. It called to me not with words, but with a feeling so deep it shook the silence loose. I began to listen. Soulsong is the journey of remembering. Of picking up the threads of pain and weaving them into a new kind of tapestry—one where the sacred and the shattered belong together. It’s about the ancient echo of our grandmothers, the wounded roar of our grandfathers, and the place where the feminine and masculine come to meet—not in battle, but in reverence. This is not a linear path. Healing rarely is. It’s spiral-shaped, messy, and often wrapped in grief. But within the mess lies the music. The truth. The power. And this is where Soulsong begins—barefoot, vulnerable, real. We meet the silence. We name the stories. We dance with our shadows. We reclaim the parts of us that were exiled—our voice, our softness, our strength, our fire. We sing.
Excerpt: “Listening to the Voice Within”The soul does not shout. It hums. It waits for us in stillness—beneath the performance, beneath the striving, beneath the masks we wear for love. When we finally sit long enough to feel the quiet, we hear it. A sound not of this world, yet deeply rooted in our humanity. A sound that is ours alone. Each soul has its own song. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that. We were taught to conform, to perform, to achieve, to survive. In doing so, many of us lost the melody of our truth. The soul doesn’t speak English or Spanish or any tongue we learn in school. It speaks in symbols, images, feelings, dreams. It speaks in art, in dance, in deep knowing. And in its own way, it is always speaking. We must only remember how to listen. The moment we begin to tune in—even just a little—we feel it. The resonance. The ache. The calling. Sometimes it shows up as restlessness. Other times as grief. Sometimes it’s a longing we can’t name, a pull toward something ancient and sacred. When we begin to follow it, life changes. We shed what is false. We burn through illusion. We open to something more whole, more true. This is the journey of Soulsong—and it belongs to all of us.
