The secret of magic...

I love magic. I really do. not only tricks but magic that is seemingly unexplainable. I have seen things that I can not explain, miracles if you will. Here are my thoughts on such things and mys ecret on how to create magic in your life.

1. Just cause you know the trick, does not mean it is not magic. Actually all magic has a "trick" to it. You can go to a Guru high up in a mountain, who knows how to levitate. You can see the magic in his floating in the air. You can then spend your life learning what the Guru has to share and quite possibly levitate yourself. Once you learn how to levitate you realize that it does not seem like magic anymore. Magic is perspective. It is how you present reality.

2. Magic does not defy laws and norms, it works with them. Every great magician works with gravity, sight, sound, and human behavior. It is a co-production or a co-creation. Just like EVERYTHING in life you can work with the forces of the universe to co-create magic or you can work against it to create pain and suffering. Your choice, although I think it is rather obvious which one I lean towards.

3. Magic makes the world go round. It makes me laugh, smile, giggle. You can understand how a trick is done or how someone has accomplished something but the fact that magic is alive and there means that the magician and the audience are having fun. Truly one of the greatests gifts of being human is having fun.

To summarize, It is not what you know, it is what you do with what you know that makes magic, and how you do it. It is not breaking laws, it is working with what you got. It is not to trick another but to entertain and inspire.

I love magic.....

Risk over Fear

Last night I played my first live gig. It was a blast, an absolutely perfect first gig. I was supported by my friends and was honored by the night. I am extremely grateful and look forward to many other gigs....

I love playing music.... I absolutely love it.

Nerves, for the love of God...

I am moments away from stepping onto stage and playing live in front of a crowd for the first time ever. I got my guitar and banjo and little else.... God I hope i remember to wear pants.

Anyway I am getting nervous.... really nervous. What if I (fill in the blank with your worst nightmare).

I realize that I have to do this. I have to play, I have to do something that I am nervous and fearful about. I have to pursue my passion. I have to not stop and keep going. I gots me something to say, something to do. I am FUCKING ready to be me and my fullest me. I will not fail, I love myself that much.

If you are in South River tonight, come on out to the White Pine, you will not be disappointed.

Humans are so not the highest form of being

Humans are not the highest for of being. Some cultures believe humans are the last step before enlightenment. HA!!! Double HA!!! As far as I can tell humans are pretty low on the enlightened food chain. I can even say that humans are half as awake as the trees in my back yard.

Anyone fullish enough to believe that they are more powerful, intelligent, enlightened, alive then a sunflower sprout or a black fly is just plain asleep. They are missing the point. They are lost in their ego, their fear and their head.

Sail to your heart and you might find a world FAR beyond your imagination. Learn to live in your heart and you will see the power in a grain of sand, not in your thoughts. Thoughts are finite, a grain of sand is infinite. Let go of any idea of hierarchy, spiritual, emotional or physical.  We humans are no more important then ANYTHING that exists. We are no more enlightened, intelligent, alive... we are soooooooo not the only intelligent life on this planet. Not even close.
