I also very much enjoy different cultural sounds and instruments.
I love when artists have the gift to share truths that many people feel they aren't supposed to express.It's music that makes you feel good and alive! Music and sounds from the inside,lost or missing pieces of the puzzle kept alive through music.
.........That gets me high.

Time for a cool change:)All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.
Dalai LamaI find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe. Dalai LamaIf you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.
Dalai LamaIf you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. Dalai LamaIn the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.
Dalai LamaIt is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.
Dalai LamaIt is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come. Dalai LamaLove and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.Dalai Lama
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day. Dalai LamaOpen your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
Dalai LamaOur prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.Dalai LamaToday, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life. Dalai LamaMy daughter is Awesome:)
She just sent me this photo of my favorite playground in California...Balboa's, "The Wedge"!
This is where I spent many many hot summer days during my youth and before I left Cali. in the 90's.
I still have the boogie board w/ me here in Texas that carried me through its ride.
Just swimming out past its breakers, flaoting up and down in its swells was an awesome spiritual experience in itself!:)
So many lessons and changes it allowed so many of us beach lovers to experience:)
