Sunday

i have returned from the grand canyon.
it has given me largeness, an inner magnitude.
the age of the great gc is enormous, billions and billions baby's.
and as i floated, daily, cutting more age into her and into me, i realized.

a life with too many xtra's does me no good. yes, i'm unsure of what's next.
and yet as simply as the mighty colorado flows, and the rains drops from the sky,
i'm thrilled to have the days to get to know about who I truly am.

and may i just say that the state of big AZ has many wonders that wait for me.

so as i unplug from certain disasters, i plug into a way of understanding that life
is kick ass and comfy and there to hold you with the closest love i've ever known.

and if you'd like to read a great book about a river try Rock Me on the River, by Renny Russel. The story of his life is incredible and the story of how he lost he brother brings him back to the river that took him.

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." -henry david thoreau

Wednesday

Finger Rocks

this week has been very expansive and its only wed.

i received this from my grandma yesterday...

and today was another experience in the cosmic whoa.
finger rock, high, majestic, didn't quite make it, and thoroughly
enjoyed the hike with my co-pilot mochi :)

Sunday

Haitian Fight Song

As i learn and experiment with sounds and instruments, i am floored and thrilled to see it come together in ways like this.
These kids are killin' it to the beloved Mingus.
I can't say that I know the history of the Haitian Fight Song, but it's a gem.

Haiti hang in there, helping hearts and harmonies are with you.

Friday

finding your crew

hi.
i like the cosmic tele-para-scope that see's into the heart of the true self.

here we have a cast who is on the assembly line, like awakeasleeping their way through life

THEN, the right view comes into FOCUS and with the help of the team, a new
light, perspective and sense of adventure is illuminated on the whole. :)

safe and sage sailings my friends....

ahoy!

Thursday

greetings grey day

in a town of sunshine, the gift of an overcast fog is deeply appreciated.

and with it comes a thickness in wet
the trees dance differently in cold and water

but really there is this tree across the street and the way it moves
is equal parts grace meets slow motion, and is a choreographer to the surrounding trees
like the brave leader that in it's way says "go for it! I can move and you can move and when
we do, things happen!"

thank you green tree across the street.

love,
jaime
