I went with some girlfriends to see Holly Near Saturday night. It had been about 20 years... as the music and words washed over me, I ate them up like a big plate of comfort food -

"I do not separate my music from my heart nor do I separate my ideas from my daily life. I open my self up to learning as much as I can about humanity and this mysterious life experience, but I do not relate to political work as series of "causes".

I do not spend much time updating this site but from time to time I will add and subtract. Enjoy it...and then go outside or talk to real people."
