| Thursday Oct 2 2008 13:06 new music from miranda jam sessions | |||
|
For some time I've been going to these free jam sessions with friends in Palo Alto. I met them through Melinda and we all go to Burning Man together; these are the best, most ego less people that I've ever played music with. My confidence is improving.... We don't do anything very difficult, and often it is complete mayhem, but every so often something emerges that is very unique and beautiful and... together. :-) I hope that you enjoy this bit of spacey jamming... turn_your_head_right.mp3 now_turn_your_head_left.mp3 |

I was quoted recently in this article regarding my clothing line - Strange Attractor Fashions and my participation in both Burning Man and Prepare for the Playa events. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/06/22/LV1K11B15T.DTL |

|
Melinda and I will be vending at the 6/2, 7/20, and 8/17 Prepare for the Playa events - Burners helping Burners to get gussied up real perty for the pilgrimage to the Playa. I can't make it out to the desert this year, but I've been working very hard to make sure that there are plenty of sexy clothes to keep the event smokin' hot without me. :-) www.strangeattractorfashions.com |

I cannot control my reality - I can control my perception of it. I cannot control the pain - I can control the suffering I can breathe for myself I can breathe for those I love I can breathe for all humanity May we not cause harm. |

| Sunday Jun 1 2008 18:47 Quote from Pema Chödrön | |||
|
I've been reading and re-reading Pema Chödrön over the last year, trying to gain some sense of clarity amidst an overwhelming sense of groundlessness. I really love these several paragraphs from When Things Fall Apart: "Without giving up hope - that there's somewhere better to be, that there's someone better to be - we will never relax with where we are or who we are." "Theism is a deep-seated conviction that there's some hand to hold: if we just do the right things, someone will appreciate us and take care of us. It means thinking that there's always going to be a babysitter available when we need one." Abandoning Hope in ordering to get at what's real is such a novel concept to me - and it goes against all that I have previously been indoctrinated in to. Yet, it seems to be real and requires personal accountability. The crux of being grown-up. |

| Wednesday May 21 2008 03:09 back from mexico - almost recovered | |||
|
I had a great time on a cruise to Mexico (check out the Flickr set). There's nothing like a complete change of environment to shake things up. The cruise ship was fun, and, interestingly, a number of nostalgic memories of the Navy Days bubbled up. I didn't feel like I really visited Mexico at all. A few hours here and there... no opportunity to get a vibe of any sort. But mainly, it was a chance to put my chattering mind on hold for a bit. After returning, I fell ill with a very tough summer cold. I haven't had one for awhile, so I guess my number was up. :-) I'm glad that it was after the cruise and not during it. I guess I've become a silver-lining kind of guy. Really? |
