Check out Carol Buckley CD's Flute Blessing by Carol Buckley, June 2000: I hold this ancient instrument to my heart And bless it with love. I ask that my breath flow with ease As my fingers dance to the rhythm Of the ancient spirits joy. May the music coming from this ancient instrument Flow from my heart to heal wounded spirits, Comfort and sooth troubled souls And bring joy to the lives it touches. Allow me to play in the peacefulness of the moment, In the joy of celebration, and in the sacredness of living.
