Art Show in Tucson ~ Live!

Well, I’ve been busy making art—and these last few weeks (last month or so actually) have been very intense. I have so many ideas swirling in my head and body that I can barely keep up with creating them. (It’s as if almost 10 years of writing ideas down are finally coming to fruition—sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin). And, this weekend is the Open Studio Tour, so producing has been a big focus.

Peace is Not an Awful Lot to Ask

Oh, David Crosby and Graham Nash – thank you! So inspiring!

I have been to Occupy Tucson and it was exciting. I can’t imagine how it would be at Wall Street. There is definitely a shift in the air . . . a newness, a vitality. A good time to be a musician and an artist again – a good time to be human.

“This is a whole country waking up and saying, ‘Hey, we were supposed to have a vote, we were supposed to have a say . . . ‘”

I wonder who they are/The men who really run this land/And I wonder why they run it/With such a thoughtless hand/Tell me what are their names/And on what street do they live/I’d like to ride right over this afternoon and give them a piece of my mind/About peace for mankind/Peace is not an awful lot to ask

Occupy Common Ground

If you look even further (including within your imagination) you’ll find the seeds of a most amazing potential are hovering at the edges of that park. The opportunity right here in Tucson is to harness that growing resentment of a corporate banking government world and focus it on local solutions, local economy, local food security, local culture. Yes, we live in a global world, yet the present economic structure of that world is based on unsustainable growth, disconnection and competition. Just as any system in nature that grows beyond its resources that structure must inevitably collapse. The models required for new thinking and new behavior are all centered on localization where interdependent community sustains both our health, and, some might say most importantly, our happiness.

Trees Chatting at the Occupation

It’s Peace and Love at the protest in Tucson. I am not camping at Armory Park but I’ve been going down there every day sharing ideas and company. At some point I’ll be leading yoga and meditation to anyone who wants it.

Peace, Love, and Liberation! see you at the protest

Tonight, I have been observing where my mind goes. Just because I am nervous and can imagine a lot of scary things doesn’t mean I won’t go. I choose not to live in fear. I have so much gratitude to people all around the world standing up for me, despite their own fears.
