i want to carry a flow of that remembering into the center of the city…and the city of self. thank you social media residency artist @akelajaffi for this sweet collage portrait. .

learn how to send it through the center of the ache, constriction, resistance, pain, stress, woe, worry…. I want to flow a music of soothing, energizing, and remembrance of life-sustaining systems through which we are each woven….

not always writ large on my chest these days, but Life Force remains my guiding intention:. i wish to channel the spaciousness, harmony and renewing power of the fecund land, channel it to the middle of the man-made fires

just letting you know, my intention with coming out to play is nourishment and strength for us to endure and navigate and get extra loving and creative about how we show up in these times…mmmmkay?!) 🔋🌊💙. beautiful poster by Social Media Residency artist @akelajaffi.

just saying…I can’t talk about my cute little gigs and pretend like ish ain’t burning and brutal every which a way.

make a lovely container/excuse for folks to come together and share joy beauty and love. (we callin the reps, supporting the front-line peoples, staying informed, showing up and showing out and maintaining connections TOO!.

I don’t claim it will change or resolve ish. but it is what I do, and part of what I can consistently contribute to ourselves. When we get on the stage, we come with the intention to hydrate the spirit, energize us,.

🌊🔋Mmmsoooo….as we whirl and reel and find stabilization and clear directed loving-potent-together action in these most intense times…i still gotta/get ta go to work, -make the sounds and stories and lovings I do best.
