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.

Exciting event!!!!

As you might know, I am the secretary of the board of directors for The Carrie Dickerson Foundation and we are having a benefit concert with Brian Haas (of Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey fame) to raise funds for continuing Carrie's work! Saturday, August 8, 2009, at Fellowship Congregational Church, 2900 S. Harvard, 5:00 to 8:00 PM. We have some great items for our silent auction ~ like a garden sculpture from the Garden Deva! Join us for a lovely happy hour with wine and punch, a light buffet dinner and an evening of music!


Brian is celebrating the release of his solo piano album "Petting Sounds" ~ an improvised piano symphony recorded at the historic studio where The Beach Boys recorded their pioneering album, "Pet Sounds". You can get your advance tickets at Starship, Dwelling Spaces or Under the Mooch or online at http://tinyurl.com/l86kyy. $15 (plus fees) in advance, $20 at the door
Don't wait - this is a limited seating venue - for a very special intimate evening with Brian at the grand piano!
