About Me

MySpace Generators Contact Table Generator Banner Generator MySpace Codes MySpace EditorDon't worry about saving these songs! And if one of our instruments breaks, it doesn't matter.We have fallen into the place where everything is music.The strumming and the flute notes rise into the atmosphere, and even if the whole world's harp should burn up, there will still be hidden instruments playing.So the candle flickers and goes out. We have a piece of flint, and a spark.This singing art is sea foam. The graceful movements come from a pearl somewhere on the ocean floor.Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting!They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can't see.Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out. -- rumi (rachel is a singer/songwriter among other things... a native of los angeles recently transplanted to portland, oregon... her first e.p. enjoyed success in the tv/film licensing world, and she wrote and recorded the song "rescue me" for the end credits of the film "my super ex girlfriend." she is currently working on her first studio full length release with jim brunberg in portland.).................................................. ...............................
