just like old times….

Sometimes I’m apprehensive about walking into band practice, especially in the last few months when the stress of recording and releasing the CD has taken it’s toll on band relationships.

Our personal (video) Guru

I’m in the middle of reading a rich & wonderful story of a woman’s search for spiritual insight. It’s called Eat, Pray, Love by Liz Gilbert.

When she first visits Italy, as she [...]

Hearts and Showers

Climbing up the stairs,
waiting for you.
Throw my clothes on the chair,
waiting for you.
My eyes watch the darkness rise,

Writing you a postcard,
my words fall away.
Even if I found you,
you couldn’t stay.

Emails from friends await in my inbox, that makes me smile.
Monday looks better already.
Time to greet the [...]

Seems like the right time

Up to the next level. I like the sound of that. That’s the phrase we’ve kept repeating to eachother as we’ve entered this new process of recording and releasing our first CD. We want to take it to the next level.
Where exactly is that? Don’t know. But it’s forward motion. It’s looking ahead. It’s dreaming. [...]
