It’s the “month of love” again.  As always, I’m deeply grateful for my loving partner of multiple decades, loving parents who live on in my heart, and so many loving friends and business relationships.  This year I’m looking beyond personal relationships at the bigger picture.  Yep, I’m thinking really BIG! Here goes: I aspire to love each moment.  (That requires actually being here, now.  Not easy.)   I aspire to love everyone.  (This would mean seeking out the highest part of each person or group which is often hidden from sight.  Tricky.)   I aspire to love all that’s tangible.  (Knowing that everything can be used in the unfolding of good despite appearance takes constant mental effort. Super challenging.)   I aspire to love all the intangible.  (Clearly there is more going on here than meets the eye.  Open mind required.)  Lofty aspirations no doubt.  Definitely a lifetime pursuit for my little human self.  Worth the effort?  Well, I truly believe Love is the answer…

    I’ve been hit with a sudden urge to audition for America’s Got Talent.  Apparently the desire to share my inspirational originals with the world at large is filling me with some serious chutzpah.  So, it’s time to sit at the piano for hours, somehow cutting my precious jewels down to 90 second finely facetted gems…

  • “Springified”

    It’s the season for something new.  So when I got an email intro to Dan Damon from our mutual  webmaster, I absolutely had to go hear him.  Dan performs both jazz & spiritual music just like I do, and plays an extremely pleasant jazz piano at Hotel Mac in Pt. Richmond.  It was a lovely evening and so nice to meet…

  • Thinking of Dad

    The folks in town called my Dad “the man with the million dollar smile”.  H e was a family man who enjoyed playing with us kids, and I loved riding around on his shoulders.  Even though he was always home when he wasn’t at work, I never really got to know him as a person…
