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.

We Did It!


I am SO happy with the success of our benefit event for the Foundation! You can read more about it on the Foundation blog here:

Brian was just amazing! There was a wonderful crowd of very positive folks who were treated to an incredibly intimate performance of cool jazz, thunderous emotion, tenderness, humor, clever improvisation and consummate musical genius.

Since organizing events is not something I do professionally or frequently, I was working as hard as I knew how to make this event come off as well as I could! I did keep reminding myself that all the elements would fall into place if I kept my goal clearly in my mind's eye. We had a great team helping out (my family, the Foundation board and friends of the Foundation made it all happen) and it was a super cool evening after all~!

Matthew, Benjamin and I really dug playing the pre-show mellow music ; and then , having the opportunity to play a few songs at the beginning of the concert was truly an honor. The audience was beautiful and we had a great time.
