Listening to the best of my ability.
Dissenting when necessary.
Loving compassionately.
Being patient when being tried.
Playing with wild abandon.
Super duper simple and takes 5 minutes to do each day. 5calls.org
Love is the only truth if there is a truth which sometimes I wonder about but I'm going with that narrative.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Breathing the same air, walking the same earth, drinking the waters where others do not have basic human dignity. Basic rights of existence. Basic freedoms to live, believe, dream, and thrive. If you have a billon dollars while others are suffering, you don't get to thrive.

A long lost album of Irish and Celtic-inspired tunes we recorded in the 90s with my friends Cyril Lance, Matt Glover, about 30 years ago! Dedicated to our beloved Matt Glover who passed away too young. We hope you enjoy.

“Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it.” ― Bertolt Brecht
What can we do, as artists, to shape the current status quo by helping to create a "reality" that is not virtual, not artificial, not dictated by oppressive "norms?"

For those in NYC or able to go to the city today, there is a protest in Times Square today at 6pm to admonish the bombings that took place last night in Gaza, killing over 400 civilians, mostly women and children. The US is complicit in this. We must do our part in whatever way we can to speak out!

Happy World Sound Healing Day...yes it's a thing. And also happy V Day! We all need to love and be loved. It's the only thing that works in my opinion. Be well, be safe, be cared for and love one another! The world is hurting. Let's be kind and generous of spirit and love everyone when possible.

I wish we could post longer comments here. Anyway, I'm curious about how we are all doing. I'm concerned with everyone's nervous systems right now. Let's remember not to get too riled up and exhaust ourselves. That's what the oppressors want...to exhaust us. Keep focused, clear, and functional!
