michael jackson...RIP

michael jackson, legend, icon, ultimate entertainer, king of pop...died today.

thank you michael for giving to the world the power of your music and entertainment. thank you for the years of joy that were celebrated while you were bringing your gift to this planet and inspiring everyone...at least most everyone, to move with ecstatic joy and passion to your music.

thank you for inspiring me, from when i discovered you in my childhood to the present moment, with your genius...

i was completely shocked and devastated at the news of your passing...may you rest in peace and always be remembered for your greatness.

music on the radio...

so i was up in esalen last week...the land of magic, the land of the fairies, the land of the stone people, tribes people, hippies, yogis, mystics, seekers, finders, tubbers and such...

lost in the beauty of it all, the power of community, the healing waters and singing the divine sound through the names of life, source, creator/creatrix...so much goodness...so much support...so much love.

the last evening of this celestial week, the band...led by joey lugassy...and the rest of the 5 of us, who had been weaving music all week long, played for a rockin', dancin' group of yogis and esalen residents, near the end of our set, i played one of my songs, "big enough" off my new album "from within" ...it is always so fulfilling to share music, and to share my songs with others.

the next morning, a woman came up to me and asked me if i could tell her the name of the artist who wrote the song i had sung last night....??? i asked her what song she meant, and she said, you know the song, 'big enough'..."who is the artist who sings that song that you covered? I hear it all the time on the radio and i have been meaning to find out who the artist is!"

i was a little stunned for a moment...because i wasn't sure what she was asking...and on top of it...even more so to hear that my song is being played on the radio in colorado!!! so i told her it is my song and we both started laughing and i must admit...i had a little tear in my eye as i was (and still am!) so excited to hear that my music is 'getting out there'...on the radio!!

so i want to say, to those of you who are still listening to the radio...thank you for listening...let me know if you hear 'big enough' or other songs in your neck of the woods!! i hear washington, arizona, california and nevada are hearing it too...what about east coasters?

you can find my music now officially on itunes as "ena vie" and my album is 'from within'...

see you soon...preferably in a live venue where you can tell me another great story!

the alchemy of integration

the stone people embedded
along the coast of big sur
where the magic of esalen
and transformation occur

the rugged cliffs
and jagged mountains
of earth and sky, ore and sea
the waves are crashing against the shoreline
with power, passion and dignity

the music of the ancients
elevates my soul
my voice weaves into the ethers
as their fire forges me whole

dancing with the troubadours
singing the divine
imbibing the healing waters
like a mellowed, french wine

the dream of deep fulfillment
here is becoming realized
in community i am sustained
interdependence mobilizes

the winding road of the hero's return
is not clear, c'est pas evident
the blissful ambrosia given by the gods
must be transmuted into the present moment

the beauty and joy now revealed from it all
as i wind my way back from shangri-la ~
the time has come to transport the gifts
from the mines of the great divide

june gloom ain't so gloomy

another song from my upcoming album...!!

there's dew on the flowers
and water in the streets
warm coffee soothes my soul
and the early morning greets
me here...greets me here

june gloom ain't so gloomy
it ain't so gloomy, today

our bed is still warm
from the love that was shown
in this place ~ on this day
in the soft and gentle moments
when love begins to sway

june gloom ain't so gloomy
it ain't so gloomy, today

and you write me a letter before i awake
telling me of dreams, together we can make
visions of music and love to create
all before the sun will rise
all before the sun will rise

june gloom ain't so gloomy
it ain't so gloomy, today

the fog rolls in and the cars pass by
the clouds off the ocean are actors in the sky
in the cold misty air there's a fire burning inside
teasing at winter
as summer still hides

june gloom ain't so gloomy
no...it ain't so gloomy, today

gypsy woman...stardust child

something new for the next album...stay tuned

























back in the town
back down after the rounds
and the years have gone by
those souls are missed now
and tears have been shed
for the ones who have bled

and i stand next to you
my brother
my sister
and we sing our song
next to each other
and the words fly high
on the wings of love
yes they fly high
on the wings of love

that gold dust woman
that star dust soul
the one who brings the
beauty of the old
that wild gypsy siren on the rooftop sings
and the message she weaves
it eternally rings
yeah it eternally rings true today

and i stand next to you
my brother
my sister
and we sing our song
next to each other
and the words fly high
on the wings of love
yes they fly high
on the wings of love

and we live together
in this modern town
setting up camp on the city ground
singing our love, singing devotion
singing together near the blue green ocean
'cuz our souls need the message here
'cuz our souls need the message now

and i stand next to you
my brother
my sister
and we sing our song
next to each other
and the words fly high
on the wings of love
yeah they fly high
on the wings of love

so maybe it's the way the circle goes
it goes round and round and nobody knows
when it will stop or where it began
and maybe it's time that we are returning again
or maybe it's 'cuz we've all been
yearning for something more
yearning for something more...

and i stand next to you
my brother
my sister
and we sing our song
next to each other
and the words fly high
on the wings of love
they fly high
on the wings of love
