In dreaming...
Once upon the mists of time, we wandered off the beaten path. The trees shivered with a gentle light; a kindred to a flame in the night. We listened to the stories that Gaia told when the River sang to the Moon.

She told us once of a time in the long ago, which direction, she did not know. By the four corners she said they would come, one to meet the other, brothers and sisters, meeting for the first time again and again; brothers sisters who always knew without knowing.

One day, brothers and sisters; they fight and Gaia cries from the confines of her dreams. Worlds change and swirl and one day we come into a time new and familiar both; a time when the trees, you can barely hear their dreams and their gentle light has gone out.

The Ancients are asleep and the land is tearing up; Gaia whispers in our dreams …change, I feel a change in the winds; the directions are coming together …for the dreams speak; speak of a chance to change the world…let's tell our stories, stories of the ever in the in between of the long ago …

...so the stars do dance with the spirit lights, while raven follows the moon's daughter down to the waterside …awake awake …so they followed the sound …the wild ones danced and played …the muses woke the Sphinx, while Luna 's children whispered and sang into the wind…

by mountain and river; the calling on, the calling out…
Come, Come one, Come all; let us gather, the time is now...

...opening up...sharing my life.....

I am just posting a reminder that I don't use the tribe.net blog anymore... Mostly due to the fact that tribe is almost a ghost town.... But also because I only have so much time in a day... My blog here used to be very personal, but now, due to the amount I am pushing my art publically, I have chosen to be less open on the internet about my more internal world.....

Anyways, my world centres & spins around my art.... It's so much work to keep it a float!

Check out my blog; I update it... read more

Quoted from the Daily Star

"For an entire century, ending only in 1996, a total of 132 boarding schools mostly affiliated with churches took First Nations, Inuit and Metis children away from their families and placed them in schools where they would leave behind their native identity and language and essentially be remade into white kids. Many died and thousands suffered mental or sexual abuse, which manifested itself in later life in drug and alcohol abuse or high suicide rates.

So last year I spent six months looking for the ideal home...
I went so far as to take sublets for two months at a time in order to finally secure a place I could put my roots into a for a few years.... I eventually found the place through a series of magickal events of life at work.... It had a back yard covered in grape vines, raspberry, high ceilings, bright windows, lots of green space (landlord yard next door was massive beyond reckoning with huge trees, compost & huge garden; and we we... read more

I am in the production called “Hanging on a Branch”; a circus-theatre interpretation of a Tibetan fairy tale. I do the Face/Body Painting, built the Masks & Headpieces, decorated & I sing in many styles both by myself and with my musical cohert, Nigel Wolf through out the piece while providing sound effects & soundtrack.

I do believe that if you come out to our show you will have alot of fun no matter what age you are. We do have low-grade video up on You-tube but you can’t see the face/bo... read more

due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE PASTEURIZED
Inside the raw-milk underground
By Nathanael Johnson
HARPER'S MAGAZINE / APRIL 2008

The agents arrived before dawn. They concealed the squad car and police van behind trees, and there, on the road that runs past Michael Schmidt's farm in Durham, Ontario, they waited for the dairyman to make his move. A team from the Ministry of Natural Resources had been watching Schmidt for months, shadowing him on his weekly runs to Toronto. Two officers had e... read more
