"Still finding myself obsessed with a quiet secret subtle and almost constant gnawing at my insides about the unbearable sadness of how impermanent everything is. Our lifetimes are short here. I remind myself that it is up to me to find meaning while I am here. I try to live my life to its fullest and even then I cannot shake the deep underlying knowing that they are all just moments lived and then soon forgotten. Where is the meaning in that?"

Band Members: Ed Hale Goes to Iran with Peace Delegation on February 25th, 2008

Ed Hale has been chosen to be one of 13 delegates from the United States going to the country of Iran with the Fellowship of Reconciliation (www.forusa.org) on a 14 day Peace Delegation on February 25th, 2008. They will visit schools, universities, newspapers, and TV stations to create more harmony and solidarity between the American and Iranian people.

One of the coolest aspects about this newest adventure is that all funds to help pay Ed’s delegate fee are being raised online using social networking site like MySpace and the supercool ChipIn widget, so join in the fun and play a part. Feel free to contribute anything you want to or just post a comment!

Post and read comments from fans, friends, and contributors or read Hale’s personal blogs about the trip here: http://edhale.chipin.com/ed-hale-goes-to-iran-with-peace-del egation
