Once again welcome and thank you for logging on to my website. It's been two years since I released "Open The Door" my first solo CD and oh how the world has evolved since then. For me personally it has been a time of many lessons, both joyful and painful and of course some pretty funny ones too (thank God, the Goddess, Allah, Buddha or "whoever/whatever" thought up this crazy experiment for a sense of humour or we'd never get through it!) The older I get (I'm not that old yet but we're all moving in that direction) the less I know I know but the more lost, found and fascinated I am. Especially right now when there seem to be so many people so fundamentally sure of "THE WAY", I seem to have become fundamentally unsure but I have to say it's made life a heck of a lot more interesting as I vacillate between certainty and uncertainty. What I am sure of is the force of love and fear, the contrast of light and dark and where I find my state of being in relation to these elements: I am always moving in one direction or the other and that seems to be a constant. As we face the current situation of life on our planet it can be hard to get out of bed sometimes and so I have taken to asking myself questions to somehow figure out a truth that doesn't interfere with another human being's right to their own truth. And so I ask what is this state that we are currently living in? Is the outer not just a reflection of our own inner turmoil? If so doesn't the "buck stop here?"(-to use a popular American phrase!) The challenge (as I see it) is for each of us to take full responsibility for every thought, word and action. Of course this is easy to say, difficult to do but it's becoming more and more apparent to me that our life journey and the journey of the planet relies on our effort moving in one direction or the other. This is liberating, terrifying and hugely empowering all at the same time. Well somewhere in the middle of this effort (and surrender) the songs on "Dawn of Revelation" were born. The album, to me represents a circle that keeps repeating itself, from the darkness to the light and once the dawn has risen, it recedes to darkness again - to dig deeper, excavate further, reveal a wider truth. Is it possible that as each one of us clears up our own personal messes, prejudices, judgements, victimhood that the world around us might begin to change too? I'm not sure, I'm just asking the question but it feels like a revelation. Let me know what you think, for now peace, compassion & revelations
