About Me


..EDENintheDESERT
The Musical Evolution of ..EDEN..,
The span is 15 years, 5 states, 3 countries,
12 producers, 4 identities...
ONE Vocalist

E D E N :I'm a simple man, doing all I can, to bring a sense of balance to the world with my music and lyrics, printed words and voice. I honor all those with the same call. (c) 2008 - EDENintheDESERT

..EDENintheDESERT
1 John 3:16-18
"Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress,
no matter how slow."
PLATO

..E D E N
a State of Innocence, Bliss, or Ultimate Happiness
Spirit-Media Artist and Visionary of EdenDust

"I'm on a Serious Multi-Media Mission.
My intention is simply to connect with ARTISTS that are very intentional with their gifts and who recognize the power in what we do and what a privilege it is to be able to do it, with humility."
I dream of bringing Artisans of varying degrees and skills, together,
Under One Spirit,
to Bless this world, with Love, Music and Art.
Until those eventual goals are reached, remember...
We are servants of our gifts.
All the rest is vanity.

..EDENintheDESERT will debut a new band and sound, JULY 2008

Do not seek sustenance from people. God is the real Provider.
If He wills a certain person to be the means of your livelihood, do not consider that person to be in control of your destiny. Have faith and be certain in the knowledge that your daily bread does not depend upon any mortal,
but upon God who created all.

"You see, all of us are artists of life, continually refining and integrating our abilities to produce our truest and most beautiful creations. It's how we're made by a loving Creator and it's how we best learn to live successfully: in a manner that's balanced and integrated, focused but not finalized, at peace with ourselves in a way that liberates all the talents within us."

-- excerpt from TD JAKES: Reposition Yourself - Living Life Without Limits

*********************
"When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it."
Edgar Watson Howe
**************
"We've got so much to do to get ready for these changes that are happening before our very eyes in our world.
Those of us who are creative have a duty to use our gifts for the greater good.
EDEN's specific goal is to create spiritually-based multi-media that would encourage, edify, educate and entertain universal audiences.
Please pay close attention to the Blogs for more information about these intentions as they mature."

The Way into The Soul

MINDFULNESS
is not just a word or a discourse by the Buddha, but a meaningful state of mind. It means we have to be here now, in this very moment, and we have to know what is happening internally and externally.
It means being alert to our motives and learning to change unwholesome thoughts and emotions into wholesome ones.
MINDFULNESS
is a mental activity that in due course eliminates all suffering.
