writes about music and life

I had the great fortune to have this past Saturday off, to stay home with my little family, read, nap, eat, and watch lots of movies. Through some cosmic combination of three separate movies, I got a clear message: we have no proof that life elsewhere in the universe exists. The shows I saw were [...]

There are times when I’m a Christian
There are times when I’m a Jew
There are times when I’m an atheist
There are times I only think of you
There are times when I’m a Buddhist
There are times when I’m a Jain

I am in Mountain View today, killing time while my husband gets some work done at Palm. Google provides free wifi to the city so I’ll take advantage of that and write a post.
I used to love going to metaphysical bookstores. I’d walk in knowing that the book I needed to read would pop out [...]

Speaks for itself. Is it a hoax? A natural phenomenon? A miracle? Who knows? It’s cool whatever it is.

Lisa Summer, author of “Music The New Age Elixir”

I’m reading a fairly interesting book called MUSIC: The New Age Elixir by Lisa Summer. It calls to task the several shelves of books that have been written about music and the spiritual world over the past 100 years or so, from the point of view of [...]
