2. Ekstasis
31 May 2002 - Jessica Macbeth © Copyright, 2002, all rights reserved. At that point, suddenly the concept of "the Song" and "the Singers" was so clear. I knew it wasn't just "energy" and the Singers didn't want to be called angels or devas or anything else but Singers of the Great Song—the Oran Mhor. Simon and Schuster didn't want me to use capital letters in the book for Song and Singer - or for names like Earthmother. They really didn't understand that those were proper names of actual beings, and they had a little fetish thing about not using capital letters. They wanted me to say "earth mother" (I won that one, mostly) and "song" (I lost that one.) (So, if you all would kindly mentally capitalize Song wherever you see it in the book, I'd appreciate it.) ... may the Song sing brightly through each of us!
