Cold fingers, happy heart

I just finished busking on the corner of Queen and Kenelworth in Toronto. It was cold and beautiful. I got four hellos, one person dancing and a few thank yous. A great experience. This is all part of my attempt to play music live. I have a bunch of songs that I have been working on, and a bunch of covers that I have changes to fit my style. I am nervous. I am scared. I am going to play for people. The nervousness and fear I will use as fuel to get me on stage. It will be my vulnerability and honesty that will be my style. It is who I am.

Hope and the Seeting Sun Part 7

Cas a Julia spent 10 years together. Fighting, loving, learning. It was a tough marriage but one that brought many teachings, many lessons and a whole lot of stories. The ending was rough, the future is clear and full of potential. Mostly Cas wanted to thank Julia for the time and for ebing there while Cas rebuilt his life. The adventure is over, the story is closed, their time has passed, the journey complete. Cas has bowed his head and honored Julia for the last time. Time and life will drift them apart, maybe never to meet again.

So long my friend, happy and safe journey. Be well, be loved and be strong. Keep on keeping on, keep fighting the good fight and above all else love yourself.

Witch Doctor House Call (Fear is what keeps you in line....)

Pharmaceutical companies use fear and doubt to keep you in line with their program. They are masters at it. They manipulate, trick and use every which way they can to keep you from taking responsibility and learning about your own body and health. There are infinite options when it comes to holistic/natural healing. Diet, herbs, acupuncture, yoga, meditation, homeopathy, massage, cranio sacral therapy, placebos, shamanism, reiki, compassion, love, community, essential oils, chi kung, and sooooooo much more. Everything listed above has thousands of years of testing, research and proof that they WORK!!!!!

If you ever hear that something or other does not work, or research shows that herbal formulas are unsafe, just look up the amount of overdosed, side effected people from the pharmaceutical companies. Wake up people, drugs are bad, healing is good. Stop listening to the news, the spin doctors, the media for your health information. Start listening to your neighbors, your health food store owners, your naturopaths, your herbalist, your medicine people, your grandparents, your elders, your heart, your intuition. Your health matters and YOU and YOU alone are responsible for it. There is no doctor in the world that can cure you of anything, you can find the solution, learn the lesson and gain health with the help of many doctors, Medical doctors and Which Doctors alike.

Imagination is the best medicine ever......

Top 5 favorite senses

So I know there are only supposed to be 5 senses, but let me take you on a little journey into how I see those 5 senses. Also with limited selection it was not tough to decide what made the list....

1. Hearing - Raw sound is one of my favorite things in the world. I close my eyes and listen to the river running behind my home. I listen to the chorus of bird calls in the forest. There is nothing like it. Nothing that can explain the multitudes of notes, chords and perfection that comes from nature. Raw natural sound is by far my favorite thing. I love my ears, I love music, I love listening to people. I love Hearing

2. Smell - When the summer hits, and the forest dries out from the spring rains, the smells left behind or intoxicating. You can smell hundreds of plants, the dirt, the animals. You can smell flowers, trees, bushes and the running water. The smell of a hot summer day is unparalleled by any man/woman made or extracted smell. Perfumes are to me one of humans worst inventions. It misses the point. If I could not smell the world around me, and when there are to many perfumes I have trouble smelling anything but them, then I would be missing a great deal of what is going on.

3. Touch - To have a soft hand gently caress my body. To run my fingers through someones hair. To feel another heart beating, to feel the release of tension and stress from a good massage, to feel the soft sand and cool ocean water under my bare feet, to feel the warmth of a hot cup of tea on a cold winter day, to feel is to connect, to be to understand where one is at any given time. If you ever get lost in this world, over stressed, unsure, panicked, just stop and feel everything around you. Check in with your body.... feeling.... being present

4. Taste - Fuck I love food. I really love good food. Local, fresh, well cared for, honest wholesome food. I love it when food is cooked with care and time. I love the medicine of food. Food is the first medicine. I lvoe th flavors of what passes my lips. I love the taste of another on my lips. I love the bitter, the sweet, the sour, the salty and the astringent. I love the endless combinations, the multitude of flavors, the gift of taste is one that needs to be nourished and developed.

5. Sight - When putting together this list I thought of sight as the one sense that I would be OK with loosing if I had to choose one. Mostly because the others are so much more layered and textured and integral to me. I love my sight, I have very good sight, I love the colours, the dimensions, the angles, the ability to move fast when needed. I love to see.
