Leslie Cochran's Memorial

Sweet, stubborn, passionate, loved, loving and a willing Austin icon...

You will be missed.

You will be remembered.

You are loved.

Listening at the Gate

Stifled...  Within and without

Opening my mouth to roar

Jumbled silence bursts out

So much to say, so much I feel

Inside, I push, I shove, I shout

Outside, I just kneel

Cogitations form communications

Breathed through space and time 

Demanding no vocal vibrations 

I sit stone-still and silently await

Your screaming soul whispering secrets

At this dimension's gate

Is It Time You Climb?

Robert Peery, Your Smiles Will Be Missed

Goodbye friend.  Thank you for always entertaining my ideas and providing me with perspectives I had not considered.

Thank you for loving Natalie the way she needed and wanted to be... Completely.

I do and will miss you, Bob.

Much love on your journey.

What's Happening in Freedom Plaza?

The first rustlings of a movement.

Respite

We breathe in darkness daily

Often, not conscious of our 

Capacity for transmutation

In with darkness, out with light

In with darkness, out with light

In with darkness, out with light

We are the catalyst for light

We are love for the world

We are the change we want to see

In with darkness, out with light 

In with darkness, out with light

In with darkness, out with light

Fill this world with your light

You are the catalyst 

You have been waiting for

In with light, out with light

In with light, out with light

In with light, out with light

Kyla La Grange @ SXSW Tonight!!!

Tonight at Klub Krucial.

9 pm

612 E 6th Street-Right next door to Emo's!

Kyla La Grange!!!

You have to hear her in person to really understand.

Kyla began playing music when she was five years-old, started her first band at thirteen, and resolved to do this for the rest of her life while studying philosophy at Cambridge University – "I realised I loved writing and performing more than anything." 

Kyla has been recording her debut record with exciting newcomer Brett Shaw (South, UNKLE). Not an easy artist to pigeonhole, Kyla’s influences range from Cat Power, Bat For Lashes and Stevie Nicks to American indie faves Modest Mouse and folk heroes like Beirut and Elvis Perkins. Having said that, Kyla’s sound is genuinely original. Whether it’s the heart on sleeve lyrics and violent acoustic strumming of Vampire Smile or the euphoric choruses of Walk Through Walls and Lambs, Kyla La Grange is never one to stay in her musical comfort zone. The final few months of 2010 see Kyla going on tour with I Blame Coco as main support for half of her UK tour. Kyla's debut single is released on the NOIR label in March 2011

What Awakening?

Do you see the signs?

Do you hear the sounds?

Does it feel different?

It is happening all around us.

There is an awakening and it IS love.

Celebrate!

Thanks for all of your efforts, Kelly, Jefe and Nathan!

Fun, Food and Performance Arts this Weekend!

We have an amazing community that is coming together to celebrate and support friends who have come up against difficult challenges recently. This is my kind of community insurance--people coming together in love to celebrate and benefit each other!

It will be held inside and outside. There will be music, massage, vendors, bake sale, plant sale, food, drinks, free to play! Proceeds to be split equally between all three causes:

Agent Red - one of Austin's favorite performers and sweetest friend - had an accident that is fresh on our minds, as she took a spill performing aeriel silks and broke both of her wrists.

The barn of Albert Deloach - old friend of many (no, he's not old!) - at our beloved Enchanted Forest burned down and still needs our help to get the Forest back to it's former glory.

Tonja Drymon - a great friend of the community as well - got into a horrible scooter accident that she has recovered from, but not after racking up hospital bills that are leaving her struggling as a single mom.

Austin NYE - Electro Circus Style

Just a few shots from the Electro Circus celebration at Auditorium Shores:

Urban Press

Pressing up from the pavement
Heart expanding
Lungs fill to stretching
Drifting to destiny
Lost in balance
Peace

Balance is Good.

How do you create balance in your life?

Ascension Mantra

I was doing a massage when this came out of her ipod...I froze and listened to the entire thing.

She said, "Yeah, that's what happened to me too.".

October 10th, 2010

A special date as more awaken as one.

You may have already seen "The Call", The Plan, the Prophecy. This is the most recent release, "The Definition".

"The Definition" - addendum to "The Prophecy" from keith wyatt on Vimeo.

I am inspired to announce that I intend to start (or join) the front yard organic garden movement. I will blog more about turning our yards into a resource providing mechanism rather than resource consuming. I plan to lay out my plans here in the next few days. I expect that it will provide for healthy families, our neighbors, the homeless, the hungry and the true-nutrition starved people of my community.

To find out more about this amazing work, check out the Awakening as One site. Thank you to Keith Wyatt and all of those contributing to the new paradigm.
