Thank you 2007! Hello 2008!



Dear friends/mates/colleagues;

time spent with each one of you last year has been quite interesting, funny, touching, loving, and surprising...

i would like to take this opportunity to thank you and wish you...

- humor in everything, no matter how serious it is...
- awareness of your connection to everything, no matter how disconnected we all may feel from each other...
- love for all parts of yourself, including the parts that you think are utterly un-loveable.
- endless expression in whatever form, whether it's in how you dress or how you speak.
- freedom from any box or construct that doesn't encourage life in you...
- courage to set your boundaries with clarity and love...
- allergy-free white kittens and pillows to fall into when you are despondent and spent and lost...
- faith in the moments where it seems stupid and foolish to have it...
- moments of blissful solitude and yummy community and safe intimacy in the doses that feel best...
- moments of feeling like a student, equal and teacher..all roles spent with you in your power...
- gratitude for all that you have and boot strap up-pulling for when you want to move forward into entirely unknown territory, for that is where i believe liberation and growth is most often found...





and i send you love & friendship throughout 2008!


love, peace & light,

ed :)

About Grief

A friend sent me a link (*) and it nailed how I feel about grief: As for grief, you’ll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you’re drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it’s some physical thing. Maybe it’s a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it’s a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive. In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don’t even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you’ll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You n

Last night, I attended this month's Terno Inferno at Cafe SaGuijo! Line up was Giniling Festival, Swissy, Musical O, and my favourite "Up dharma Down". It was great hanging out with the bands, and friends. And of course, it was great to hear new two songs by Up dharma Down, the two new songs is titled: Every First Second & Blessed. Also played a down-tempo version of Flicker, which Armi said will be included in the sophomore album. You can check out the photos at the official Dharmalites site.

Paula Cole - Greatest Hits: Postcards from East Oceanside

Seven years of being absence in the music scene, Paula Cole is back, well not really back... but her formerly label Warner Brothers in collaboration with Rhino Entertainment, decided to released a "greatest hits" album; Featuring two previously unreleased tracks -- "Tomorrow I Will Be Yours" and this greatest hits' title track, "Postcards from the East Oceanside", plus the Johnny Mercer's "Autumn Leaves," and of course, songs from her three Warner Bros. albums: "Harbinger," "This Fire," and "Amen." This obviously "let's release this record cos she's not with us anymore" scheme, left her fans the belief that label like Warner Bros, is totally about money and not really "real" musical skills. The questionable "greatest hits," includes the 1997 Best New Artist Grammy winner's sole Top Ten single, "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" with its simple, st
