Self Portrait :: Sydney :: Australia :: June :: 2013

Music is a Garden of Memories~

Sorry to flood the stream with this image ...

Think I was a bit late for +Selfy Sunday but posted anyway.  Although I'm weeks behind with the P52 (life's been hectic), this image (wether it really works or not) is a pretty accurate depiction of where I'm at right now.  The music is coming along but picking up my instruments & playing alongside my young son stirs up a lot of powerful memories. It won't be long before I venture out into the light & share what I've been working on for so long. For now I'm quite content in the comfort of my secret garden. Many thanks to those of you who've patiently encouraged & supported me along the way.

As ancient as the sun
We came from the ocean
Once our ancestral home
So that one day
We could all return
To our birthright
The great celestial dome"   ~ Dead Can Dance

#BlastFromThePast

This is William. He was an amazing human being who had a great impact on my young life. He's pictured here in the Gypsy caravan home he built on the flat bed of his '52 Chevy playing one of his hand carved 5 string Violas. You can see another one beginning to take shape hanging on the left.

During his service as a Green Beret in the Vietnam war he fell in love with a local woman and married her. The government would not allow him to bring her to the states or him to stay in Vietnam - he returned home a broken man destined to channel his torment through wood work and music - his talents were many. He was the multi instrument playing/singing front man of my step dad's band (we toured around a lot back then), king of the caber toss, orchard keeper & master craftsman. But perhaps one of his greatest achievements was the enduring kindness he held in his... more »

Lovers on the Shore :: Bradleys Head :: Sydney :: Australia

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you... Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”
                                                                          ~Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
