G'mork: Fantasia has no boundaries.
Atreyu: That's not true. You're lying.
G'mork: Foolish boy. Don't you know anything about Fantasia? It's the world of human fantasy. Every part, every creature of it, is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefor, it has no boundaries.
Atreyu: But why is Fantasia dying then?
G'mork: Because people have begun to loose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the nothing grows stronger.
Atreyu: What is the nothing?
G'mork: It's the emptiness that's left. It's like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.
Atreyu: But why?
G'mork: Because people who have no hopes are easy to control. And whoever has control has the power.

he teases hearts wif words, this merry frankster wif an ultimate aim to enliven, enlighten, seduce and induce thought provocations to come back to the point he starts from...his heart....
met this brother on sandy shores of THailand where he enraptured me with durians and poetry, friendship and respect, comedy and music, his deep intellect and his easy mischief...he called my voice to come ride his wave of beat-boxing swirls of creation..it was so easy to be, to express, to feel safe..thats such magic that we can hold for each other...when not only do u create...but u create a space to empower others to feel safe as their own expression is being birthed.
Love in da highest to the fullest to u precious one X SAhida

working with robin at LIB 2007 was alot like the other simple pleasures in life: a warm bath, nice glass of wine, jazz music, sunsets, sunrises, love from an animal, good food, and ocean waves. in the midst of chaos, stress, heat, hunger, lack of sleep, and just way too much fun...robin was the calm before my storm. i am so grateful he did not give up when monica said, "i'm sorry our voluinteer list is full", because LIB just wouldn't have gone as smoothly--production wise--as it did if robin had not been our SUPERSTAR volunteer! thank you robin! i can't wait to play/work with you again! luv-ovie

Picture a void, black as the blackest night.
Now imagine a single point of LIGHT,
Energetically Contained, and yet connecting\ constellations
simultaneously - with billions of other..points of LIGHT..
Radiating, vibrating, moving at a frequency so high
that it appears to be sitting still. But never will.
Constant Flow emitting the All-embracing Love *fire* that warms body, mind and soul.
Exploding every second, and being re-born~ phenomenally~ into it's Highest potential;
learning growing shaping and imagining
Out of love for humanity, the planet, and the Goddess Herself.
A servant to Love in every breath, thought and deed.
This is our Beloved Robin Tala, of the gigantic heart,
Sweet-soul beatboxing brother of poetry-in-motion,
revolutionary world-bridger ,cross-pollinator and
Super sexy magick tender and kind~ Divine Lover.
Lover in the Universal sense, see, 'cause All who experience
his magic Presence...Get Loved.
I love this Elven Wonder-full brother o'mine.
*He Divine*.

blessed Robin
your reflections are medicinal
infused with momentum
of intentions ritual
generating
and recieving
the ripples
simultaneously
expanding and returning
to the source of their motion
what divinity
lies herin
a son
of devotion
heart's light
and creations song
emanating from the core
through the pores
and oozing into the community's
source
enriching our vitality.
Reciprocal gratidude I offer
to know such an earth angel.

After much contemplation, I'm not entirely sure what it is about Robin that elicits anchient memories - perhaps it's our common understanding on uncommon grounds working towards the same end.
I believe in Robin. Although we haven't spent much time together, what time we have has been prescious, powerful and transformative. I believe in the work we will someday do together, and I will give to him my faith, my heart and my time - anytime he requests.
May we someday walk hand-in-hand on the world's stage beaming with proud and profound completion, ready to take the next step, and to lead, only by example.

his eager exuberance for broad social activism to achieve justice and change is infectious and expands constantly. robin is a warm, radiant and dynamic presence in this world...one which illuminates many different areas and groups, including last yr's sufi youth retreat, where he organized and inspired people with his sincere appreciation and openess to everyone and everything.

speaking with robin is speaking in the tongue of poetry. he makes his marks with passion, politics, and friendship. where there is a soul, he is.

"The brain speaks through words; the heart in the glance of the eyes; and the soul through a radiance that charges the atmosphere, magnetizing all."
- Hazrat Inayat Khan, Sufi Mystic
furthur reading:
Every soul radiates an influence with charges the atmosphere all around. The more powerful the influence the wider it spreads, forcing its way even through walls. There is no barrier of water or space which can keep that influence from spreading. The stronger the influence the longer it lasts. ... Atmosphere is a silent music. It has its effect upon the listener, exciting or peaceful, whatever it may be.
from www.wahiduddin.net/mv2/XIII/XIII_6.htm
The heart of man is like a globe over the light of the soul. When the globe is dusty, naturally the light is dim. When it is cleaned, the light increases. In fact, the light is always the same. It is the fault of the globe when it is not clear. When this radiance shines out, it shows itself not only through the countenance and expression of a man, but even in the man's atmosphere. The soul-power, so to speak, freely projects outward, and the surroundings feel it.

*1love*
last night I made love with a faerie...
water nymph splashing her droplets of liquid joy
and pouring the sweetest crystal nectar down my throat
until I was so full that I was empty
surrendured to the magic that lives inside
and glistening with morning dew...
rising in love
to the sparkling expanse
of the starfilled sky...
where we came from...
and where we will return too...
and I've returned
back from the most succulent starfields
sitting in full lotus
while tribal clans of bhodisatvahs
circle in luminous frequencies
like morphing celtic knotwork
tied with intention
with fingers who've survived torture
yet love their enemies like their family
for they know
that in some life
we all have been each others mother...
she flew in my window
a seemingly random encounter
which, upon hindsight,
is rich in texture, meaning, and symbolism
as we discover just how KINnected we were the whole time...
she beckoned me thru the bars on my guest house window
out to look at the sky
out to listen to the earth
she wispered languages
more familiar than any one I've ever heard
and danced like fingertip nice nice
cascading down my psyche
like the refreshing ocean that she was made from...
it is nights like this that remind me...
it is nights like this that awaken the magic in my heart,
the parts of us that often lay sleeping our whole lives,
the parts that only come out when empowered
by this thing we call "imagination"
by living as this being we call "child"
by these elements which are so easily dismissed in our "real world"
but are so obviously REAL
when we just close our eyes and FEEL
kneel down to the earth and listen for the footsteps of giants
for the spiders weaving whisper
for the flutter of wings that so narrowly evade your eyesight
until...
wait...
did you see that...?
last night she didn't hide from me
and last night I didn't mock her with rational thought
the kind that pushes invisibility
like wind on a sand castle...
as this surrender becomes natural
and as the elements reveal their personalities
I smile
because I know that not everything is as it seems
and no matter how big the bombs
or loud the advertisements
or solid this concrete seems to be...
the worlds of magic are just behind the vail
itching to be noticed and noted
willing to be opened and focused
and giving with potent devotion...
because these anomalies we call humans
DO have some sort of unique spark
we DO hold a key
hidden in each of our hearts
that is necessary in the cosmic unfolding
one more nitch in the key
so that it fits
when we all come together...
and so I wander into the himilayan foothills
past the waterfalls and little baba caves...
past the stone carvings that stand solumn
with a gaze beyond ages
past the icey peaks and valleys
in order to sit with the snowlions
in wonder and reason
to fly with the dragons who wait so paciently
for the kinship to be remembered
and into the river
where I found my lover
flowing sweetly
and deeply into my body
as she invited me
into her's...
if I never return to you again
please know,
that the world into which I've wondered is magnificent...
and if you ever want to come
all you have to do is
close your eyes,
and take my hand...

about me
I'm a little bit of a lot of things... a lot of little bits nestled close to the fire and weaving dreams in prose of purpose and big time vision-action of MEGAfestation!
Yeah Baybee!
just wait...
