Now that I have it, what do I do with it?
To see how the little icons link, go to Grassapelli’s Hubze Card.
It was just real easy to set up. Maybe that’s the point. It’s like a simple online game you win right away. We could all use some easy wins these days.
At a Tarpon Talkers Toastmasters Club meeting, I once gave a short talk introducing Grassapelli. I spoke as if he was speaking through me as a medium.
My voice did not change, but something happened. Maybe it was just the intention. How I felt, how I perceived my talk was a little different. I only did it that one time.
In a similar mood, I chose one morning last week to let Grassapelli write my journal. This is the result.
There is more than a higher self in each of us. There are selves nested within us that are developed personalities from previous lives. They are no animated by soul power as we who are in the body are animated.
If our soul lends them a little power, they may express themselves. They are not all knowing. The personality is limited, but it may have reached a high point of development by its experience on this plane.
It is not so different from our normal waking self. But it may say things differently than we would say them.This is different from multiple personalities. Those are undeveloped personalities. They are at best partial expressions of soul power. The higher personalities were, in their time, full expressions.
Nothing is now left but an empty husk. But, that husk can color the flow of thought in hues that are not customary for us in our usual speech and action.
It was a long indecisive time to think about how to handle the Grassapelli reality.
For a while I had an elaborate music web template that was to unwieldy for this fiddler. When I saw how other sites, including Reverbnation.com, could help cut the Gordian knot….
It’s simply a matter now of going ahead with this personal blog. Call it a life style blog.
Here is what Pete Gallagher said about the Grassapelli spirit.
Late at night we sit around the campfire. Dancing in the flames, weaving in the smoke, the Grassapelli spirit lurks. When the time is right, the ancient musician leaps into the mind of Elan Chalford and his fiddle becomes one with the smoke and fire.
The creative artist and musician recognizes a higher power, an inspiring source, a muse that informs and extends his output to its full potential.
Grassapelli is the name of that muse for me. The earth magic of Kokopelli, the energy of bluegrass, the elegance of Grappelli combine in this spirit that channels through me.
It was Grassapelli that whispered the secret of 100 tunes 100 times. Grassapelli hinted of the sonic wealth to be found in A 432 tuning. Grassapelli said I could combine Irish fiddling with bluesy sounds like Eileen Ivers. Or, make Irish tunes have a Texas flavor. Or, use Irish ornaments in old time American tunes.
When Grassapelli Speaks, I heed his counsel.
