Songwriter
In a time of going through extended cancer treatment Catherine became aware of the melodies, she realized, that are always singing in the Soul. In her daily walks in the Countryside she listened, in delight, to “inner” melodies and after about a year she began to record them on her phone and after another year she began to put lyrics to some of the melodies, which has now become the album; “THE VOICE OF THE STILLNESS”.

SHARING ART FROM THE BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES OF
Boulder, Colorado
In college at The University of Colorado at Boulder I worked on my senior theses on the diversity of flora and fauna in burn sites. I sat at dawn in mountain landscapes where there had been fires. Sitting in the silence of a mountain morning counting flora and fauna I rediscovered the practice of stillness I had learned as a small child where summer vacation was spent on a wilderness lake. As a young woman I lived remote mountain ranches in Colorado, one ranch had the Lakota Medicine Man, Archie Fire Lame Deer visit regularly performing Sweat Lodges and other Traditional Lakota Spiritual Ceremonies that I had the privilege to participation in.
The foothills of the Rocky Mountains are magic and raw and rugged and at times powerful.. One can become close with lightening, with Moose and Elk and rivers and Stars. One can become connected with the seasons, the cycles, the Soul of Nature and expand in one’s own Soul by the spirit of the wild untamed world of the mountains.
I decided to string together the filmed interviews with religious leaders, scholars, kids and everyday folks in the “The Great Mystery” with the beautiful landscapes of the Mountains to magnify the spiritual connection many of us find in the Wild Places, in the waterfalls, in the mountain peaks and skies and rivers. The movie is a journey, through nature, to people, to connect back with wilderness and listen and again hear from people paralleling each individual’s path to their own spiritual source. Exploring the question; “Where does the Spiritual Source lead us?”
Today I live in the Countryside near Boulder, Colorado on a ranch with my three horses, dog, cat and four birds, as well as the visiting coyotes, Canadian geese, myriad birds, rabbits, voles and the barn mice! All are family on M. Traveler Ranch and Sanctuary.
