Inspired by nature and its natural rhythms, my Native American flutes are my voice. My music is a symbiotic evolution of my thoughts, feelings, and convictions. Through my music I honor the sacredness of the Earth, its creatures and the oneness of life. Being of English, French, Cree and Cherokee ancestry I am truly blessed with the wisdom of many cultures. A time must come when all peoples can live in peace. For if we fail this we fail ourselves and what is left is uncertain. "Touch The Earth" is a musical journey that explores our connection with the Earth. TOUCH THE EARTH "A darkness, which we have created, has blurred the connection to our past. The dust of the Earth from which we arose only seems an illusion. We struggle to understand our purpose and yet we only see that point in time that exists in the present. The Earth has become a stranger to us. Our souls are no longer One with our Mother, our Earth. If we are to evolve we must remove the darkness that obscures our past. We must endeavor to recognize what is sacred and to feel our connection to all things. Knowledge must replace fear as we walk with the Earths creatures. The Earth has much to teach us if we are willing to let it penetrate our senses. With the Earth as our teacher we can become strong and be prepared for the realities of our daily struggles. With the past as our guide we will find the strength to live life honestly. We must find meaning in our existence. We must take a journey to Touch the Earth." Mark Tracy
