Welcome to Songbird's Nest and Starflowers!

Here it is safe to relax for a bit,
but also to be vibrant and intense,
like the birth of a new star!

The dichotomy of living an authentic life
is always thus, to balance between the
calm and peaceful safety of our familiar
and feathered nest, and to fly out to the
limits of our imagination to discover,
create and redeem this world from
the darkness that pulls at the light.

The night's darkness, the winter's
darkness ~ these are good and holy,
but the darkness of a damaged
beyond repair, destructive, greedy
or completely selfish force must be escaped.

Escape velocity must be reached, and
then safe landings must return.
No wonder we are all spinning like
the colorful musical amazing beings
we are. We must.

Sending love to every soul, every friend
who finds me here. Peace and love.

rehearsing 2.0

All the songs are going really well, we just played through all the ones that have electric guitar, and it is too cool how much fun it is. Live music is the best - Play music! Sing songs! Dance!
I hope we have a good turnout tomorrow evening. We are planning to record and see how it is sounds. Have to get up early (for us) to get the equipment set up before noon.

Check on the blog for the Foundation; I will be trying to keep updates posted there about the bills in the state and federal legislatures about truly alternative energy and clean safe power.

Rehearsing


Benjamin, Matthew and I are working on music for the concert Sunday evening. We are playing for the Carrie Dickerson benefit. It is cool ~ tonight Matthew collaborated with me to find some alternative chords in the D Dorian mode (sort of) to add to the chorus of a song I am resurrecting from my days in Oregon. (all those years ago) It gives it the desired mystery I was after. I really love playing music with my sons.

Learning to fly...

Experimenting with all the variables...

Beginning

So here we are at the beginning. Let's see where the path leads ~~~~ for now, I wish you peace, joy and love.
