Love above Fear.

About Me

Undeniably absurd - Strangely delicious.Many revolutions are upon us. May the armies of love prevail...And for the part of me who still thinks that's a silly thing to say, well...flick you...what do you know anyhow? Nothing that's what, just like me.So for those of you who don't know me and haven't guessed and might wonder...I'm a musician, and a mama. I like to write...and to talk...maybe too much :) Anything else is subject to change without notice, to you or to me...ask if you want to know the flavor of the day.I like things that are silly. I'm silly myself. I like change. I'm changing things all the time. Come change with me?And one last thing...I believe in us, all of us.

I'd like to meet:

"I was sleeping like a dead person. You woke me up from deep slumber. You not only woke me up but also initiated me. You have made me a part of God. You have given me access to the region where God resides. You have done a great favour to me that I can never pay back. Oh my Lord! I am grateful that I have met you in physical form."-- Sant Dharamdas,People who are motivated to change existence for the better...Who are at least somewhat concerned about impending doom and are willing to do something other than complain to stop it...keepers of hope...seekers of truth...soldiers of love and of fortune...and most especially, YOU! You're here aren't you?

Music:

If only I could speak with words as she speaks to me, moves me, becomes me, and changes me. Among so many loves these few have been my true companions...Arthur Lee and Love, Little Feat, Tim Buckley, John Mayall, Moby Grape, The Fairport Convention and Sandy Denny, Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, John Prine, Edgar Winter, Frank Zappa, Jefferson Airplane, Roy Harper, Etta James, Art Mingus, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, The Allman Brothers, Elton John, Tori Amos, CSNY, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Elvis, Simon and Garfunkel, Danny Gatton, Cream, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Queen, Prince, Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin, The Cure, Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Donovan, Aretha Franklin, Faces, Bob Marley, Dire Straights, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Robert Plant, Marvin Gaye, The Moody Blues, Nick Drake, Led Zeppelin, Van Morrison, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd...there are more but I already seem a bit promiscuous...have a look through my friends. Support live local music and respect the session players, producers, and engineers that help make the art we love. Seriously folks, turn off the computer and the TV...get out of your hole...go be a part of some MUSIC again - we miss you!

Television:

Kill your TV - I mean you should but since you won't...I like nature shows, and things that are really, really stupid ...adult cartoons, kids cartoons, I watch C-SPAN...I watch VH1 Classic when I'm feeling nostalgic...I like the weather channel...I like to pretend its snowing here. Which Tarot Card Are You?
You are the Fool card. The Fool fearlessly begins the journey into the unknown. To do this, he does not regard the world he knows as firm and fixed. He has a seemingly reckless disregard for obstacles. In the Ryder-Waite deck, he is seen stepping off a cliff with his gaze on the sky, and a rainbow is there to catch him. In order to explore and expand, one must disregard convention and conformity. Those in the throes of convention look at the unconventional, non-conformist personality and think What a fool. They lack the point of view to understand The Fool's actions. But The Fool has roots in tradition as one who is closest to the spirit world. In many tribal cultures, those born with strange and unusual character traits were held in awe. Shamans were people who could see visions and go on journeys that we now label hallucinations and schizophrenia. Those with physical differences had experience and knowledge that the average person could not understand. The Fool is God. The number of the card is zero, which when drawn is a perfect circle. This circle represents both emptiness and infinity. The Fool is not shackled by mountains and valleys or by his physical body. He does not accept the appearance of cliff and air as being distinct or real. Image from: Mary DeLave http://www.marydelave.com/

You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
What philosophy do you follow? (v1.03)
