About Me


I believe in Absolute Truth. I've fallen victim to my own hype. I am blessed with the greatest friends in existence. Nigeria and Nicaragua will always be in my heart. I have been altogether broken. I have touched the stars. I've traveled the world, met some of my greatest heroes and danced with my most distant dreams. I've experienced soaring highs, as well as gut-wrenching lows. I've loved, lost and loved again. I've already seen what's behind the curtain, and it's not the great and powerful Oz... it's a little short guy, pulling some strings and pushing some buttons. I have been delivered. I've finally decided to stop secretly chasing fame. I've found that truth is not some big mystery if you have all the pieces, it's how you put the puzzle together that makes you. Our worship is not for the masses, not to be promoted and prosituted for selfish gain. But the music is for us.. for me and you to enjoy (and adopt) as the sound, spirit and vision develops and grows (like my nephew) into whatever authentic thing it is becoming. Life is about becoming. Right now I feel like my head is 50, but my heart is 15. It's been an interesting journey to here. The truth is, the story reads like a novel. It's been a good read so far.. can't wait to find out how destiny plays. My love is for you all! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Snowball

 At work yesterday, out of the blue, wanders up the most beautiful Samoyed puppy. He was probably more friendly than most dogs you would find, which obviously added to his already striking presen...

Ok, here's the thing..

Brought about by a recent comment from Megz Music is the one element in my multi-shaded life that has always been a constant variable. By that I mean it has deliberately drifted and swayed, like&...

HEBREWS 11: 1 & 6 Vs 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.   Vs 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must b...

Vent .77

Well, I have fallen, again, face first into the corporate distraction that so easily dissuades me from my organic self. My mind wanders even as I am writing this. Why can't I just be? Why do I alwa...

Dos más

I've often wondered how you really know when something amazing is happening to you. Sure winning the lottery, having a baby, jumping out of an airplane.. these are certain, but I'm not talking e...

Romancing The Gap

The hills are catatonic with the death of a thousand gypsies.   The cereal society of lonely rollers that continue along these paths till they finally meet somewhere in the middle.. finding their...

The Jaded Cloak

Classic risk, without that stubborn reminder that leaves a residue all over your hands and feet& sticking to your clothes and going with you beyond your sleep.   We risk our lives for adventure.....

Where else but in our own self constructed boundaries, could we find the courage to hide from out most dire, impending freedom? Where else but on the outside of vulnerability could we continue looking...
