Open for dialogue

We speak more into existence of what has been rather than what could be because we speak from pain rather than from power.

A Fact About a Woman

The fact about a woman is that we all want to be held, treasured and loved in a way so deep that we don’t even understand it ourselves. I believe that the fantasy of love that we have created within our own emotions could be one of the strongest binding chains in a woman’s life.This chain is around first the heart, then the mind, the eyes, the ears and even the souls of the beautiful creature whom God himself made to be a companion to the very thing that brings her the most pain and…

Another Fact About A Woman

Soft, kinky, tussles of mocha brown loose waves collide with a satin pillow case that has absorbed more tears of sorrow than joy since its purchase.

Wednesday night drum jam

We are looking for a new kind of rhythmic community, and we are looking for people who are interested in being a part of it.  The classic drum jam model of 30 djembes sitting around pounding out 16th notes makes for a fun party, but there’s so much more potential to a gathering of drummers.  I feel that rhythm has its own version of melody, tension and release.  There’s so much space in between the notes that we can explore.

I have been playing at the Across the Street Bar…
