Via Transforma is a journey. One of my deep interests over the past 16 years or so has been the area of dream work..the world of Carl Jung...and learning how one can gain insight into one's path from studying, working with the dream images. Also, the writings and work of Meister Eckhart, a 13th century mystic, have been inspirational. He wrote of a four fold way of seeing life's journey: the via positiva...potential; via negativa...letting go and letting be; via creativa...breakthrough; and via transformativa...transformation. He referred to it as a "wayless way"..open to all. So, by drawing from my own dreams and experience along with a few other songs that spoke to me by other writers [Leonard Cohen, Hothouse Flowers] I've put together this musical exploration of the four fold path. My friend Bruce Barnes, a Jungian analyst from Toronto, summed it up best in the liner notes he wrote for this cd: "We either choose to take this journey, or are compelled to by a crisis in our lives, which forces us to ask: who are we? What have we done with our lives thus far? And where are we going? Whether we are ready or not, we are booked on a passage into the unknown..."
