Wow. What an interesting couple of days this has been. My lover was with me for the past three days, perpetuating me into a state of bliss and bringing a little piece of home to me. Gabe and Roy retreated into the hills of San Bernadino while me and my partner caught up on kisses. Now she is gone and what we are left with is hopes and dreams towards the future. Our wonderful host has made us feel entirely at home here in San Bernadino, for that I am so gracious. As we prepare for our next gig in Long Beach, CA on Friday @ Viento Y Agua , we are trying to consider what the people might enjoy most of our performance. It's really quite hard for me to imagine considering I typically read a crowd before I give em what they want. But what about what I desire? What message am I hoping to convey? I know this, my hope is for people to hear and receive the message of love, healing, forgiveness and shalom ( true peace, the kind that makes you whole) through my music. I feel old concepts perishing, and new ones being formed minute by minute. So I guess the idea is to go up there and just be me. Which is really tough sometimes, considering that's what makes me feel most vulnerable. But I realize being vulnerable is not a bad thing, it's how you cope with it, that makes you feel accomplished. I am loving this moment, the gentle breeze, the abilty to do what ever I put my mind to. Thank you Lord for giving me this moment, to honor you, to reconnect with you, to feel your presence.
Shalom and Namaste!
