MY ROOTS GO DEEP
“This song is a summary of the growth and maturation that has taken place within me in the past few years. Realizing that holding peace and grace is a wiser goal than chasing happiness. For while we can’t avoid the pendulum of our lives constantly swinging from one side to the other, between joy and sorrow, light and dark, we can practice holding peace in any circumstance. Growing roots and becoming our own centre, attracting all that is in our highest good to come to us. Understanding, in our wisdom, that all that happens does so to teach us, to help us grow, and to deepen our sense of compassion and solidarity towards one another.”

AMONG THE LIVING

MOTHER

– Markéta

We Are Good
I want to use this opportunity to share with you a video made back in 2012 in Argentina by my friend Alejandro Rojas to a song of mine called We Are Good.
A Connection Was Made (How I found my way to Iceland and met Sturla Mio Thorisson)
When touring around the world was my main occupation, I had the fortune and privilege of being in a position to meet many wonderful people. This is how I found my way to Iceland and met Sturla Mio Thorisson.
