From The Artist's Eyes

Hammertown, TriArts, WKZE: 10
Joe's Pub: 7
Sangha: 8

The journey from Pine Plains, to New York City, to Sharon CT, and then to Washington DC, has been full of heart. The shows at all three stop points were powerful in their own ways. Along the holy road we travel, allowing for change to manifest in everything we do. Each show was very different from the next, but they all shared one thing in common, the ribbon of re*membering.

Time eludes us as the wheels on the blue box keep rolling h*ome. This photograph was taken at The Peace Party in Washington DC. The ribbon began it's unification there, the tying of each moment, each heart to the next heart and so, we will continue tying the thread of peace until it is long enough and strong enough to hold the pain, transforming all that is broken in our world, healing our dis*ease.

Each of the shows, in their own way, delivered me into myself. My favorite of the three was Sharon because it was our first time in a theater, with a great lighting designer, the third eye of a director, and an audience that was somewhat prepared for the interaction involved in The Tumbleweed Cabaret. The audience was a 10, willing to travel through the story and trust our connection to Now. Hammertown, WKZE, and TriArts did a great job of sponsoring the The Cabaret. 19 Miles To Baghdad was heard through the air waves of the Hudson Valley because of Hammertown's powerful sense of independence and courageous commercial station. Gregg and Joan are the best kind of friends, willing to stand behin us and help us grow into our greatest selves.

In DC, Sangha was as graceful a host as could be but, unfortunately, the front row at the show brought the audience average down with their lack of soul shine and their rude cell phone activity. In my opinion, it would be better for people to avoid experience completely then to stand cold in the presense of the inner sun. BUT, the rest of the room was full of light. Jennifer directed the collective voice and we found a soul mate for the re*membrance in Malavika, a young performer who pronounced our ancient promise well kept. Our DC hosts, Melissa and David are excellent and cared for the deliverance of our message in the kindest way. It was great to see Liz and Michael again too. The family is getting stronger and stronger every day.

The road grows on as we follow the Dharma into The Night, sailing by way of the ocean of Now and beginning to see the butterfly being free.

Thank you for re*membering. Yours in life and song.
Lizzie and the dharma dog too.
