Welcome To Our Blog!

...As the falling leaves surround me, swirling colors to astound me, I stand amazed in the beauty that is now...
from "The Beauty That is Now"
What a beautiful, but cold, Fall morning! I get so discouraged at the thought of the impending winter that I forget how much I love the fall! As I write, the leaves are raining down outside my window and there isn't a cloud in the sky!

I am constantly being reminded to be awake in the moment. "...the whole world dances before us, and it sings in joyful chorus..." Almost as though the very Universe is saying "Hey, hey... look around! Stop wasting this precious day thinking about being somewhere else!" This is our time, this moment now. To quote my favorite book of the Bible:

"There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor."

So, here I am and here I vow to stay... as the famous title of the great book by Ram Dass declares... Be... Here... Now!

Happy Autumn Everyone!

Don’t you remember the tale all the angels tell?
That you are loved, fear not, all will be well…
It's Gonna Be Alright

I think I've mentioned before once or twice that this moment, this very moment, is all we really have. No matter how freaked out you may be, no matter what kind of shit-storm is raining down around you, putting your thoughts in the past or future is not going to change this very moment. And, in this moment, if you're still breathing, you're alive and you can be awake in the moment.

I'm not saying that everything tomorrow is going to be rosy or that life isn't difficult at times. I am saying, that you're best way of working with whatever is plaguing you at the moment is to stay centered and clear as you can in this moment!

You are loved... All is and will be well. So please, fear not, be here now with me and rejoice in this moment whatever emotions it evokes.

Cheers!

...the first time we kissed, a smile on the face of Infinite Bliss and it’s all in this moment right now…Call it Love

I guess I write so much about love because, as a subject, it is the most important to me. I've written before that my purpose is "just to love and be loved in return" but today, on this pristine, wonderful morning, I see that it ties in with all my other favorite subjects as well.

Love is now, in this moment. We can reminisce and anticipate, but those are pale shadows compared to love felt in this moment.

Love is the removal of boundaries. When I love, I remember that I'm one with whatever it is I love. So, if a sense of love arises for all things, then in that moment I know I'm not separate, but One with All.

Love is joy, love is celebration! You can cry in love, you can laugh in love, you can dive into the passion of life with love!

Love is not just God's highest expression, Love is God. God, the Universe, the "All That Is" is LOVE! Synonymous. And so, my purpose can now be restated: "I am here to know God, and to know us all as God."

May love guide, and fill you today my friends! Cheers!

“We are so blessed to be the ones to heed the call…As long as one of us is suffering then none of us is free…”
United in our Brilliance

I'm not sure I can agree with the above statement but I suppose like all things, it's a matter of perspective.

Here in this moment, I feel free. I know there is suffering in the world and I know I'm not separate from it but near as I can tell, the best way to work with that reality is to come from a place of abundance and continue to give from that limitless supply. And so I choose to believe, we are all free despite circumstance or individual belief.

OM DZAMBALA!

“How amazingly unlikely anything happens at all, let alone a world of magic filled with dreams and miracles” from Once More

Today has been the most wonderful of days. A day of fun, contemplation, great friends and great joy. A miracle. Some of my nearest and dearest are going through difficult challenges right now but they each are handling their unique situations with great aplomb! I stand in awe of their innate wisdom and competence and feel honored to call them friends!

I've spent a lot of time today in an internal dialogue with the Universe. Not really seeking anything, but simply touching base with the Infinite. Spirit has given me some new words to incorporate in statements of my life's purpose and after I've sat with them a bit and perhaps honed them down into something concise, I will share them here.

Friday night at Shangri-la was the best of times. If I never played anywhere else, the experience of playing there is enough. That being said, I am sure the future holds many incredible opportunities to share these songs. I am so blessed to know you all and I am filled with gratitude, admiration and affinity for each of you. Thank you for making my life so rich!

Cheers!
