The Window to the Universe

There are few moments in life when we are privileged to witness the open window to the universe. Birth is such a moment, when the line between life and eternity is thin and permeable. When without words, we understand the bigness of the universe and the connectedness of absolutely everything. When anything can happen. When every detail matters.



This podcast, “The Window to the Universe” is taken from my theatrical play SINGING THE BONES, which toured internationally and was later made into a feature film that screened around the world. http://www.fatsalmon.ca/themovie/home.html


Music for this podcast was created for the film by Rose Kirchner.  http://fatsalmon.ca/themovie/about/castandfilm/music.html

The play itself was inspired by Sunshine Coast midwife Wendy Clemens, whose deep beliefs in the strength of women and the common-but-extraordinary elements of birth inspired her life’s work: being alongside women at their most powerful and vulnerable moments: when the window to the universe is wide open.
