Facing what goes bump in the night

Stepping into November, I'm feelin called to check in about where I am in this rapidly changin world.
In that my life has recently entered another tunnel of shadow work, it has become increasingly clear that the archaic model of duality that once motivated my actions is decaying and giving way to something deeper. En route to this newness, I've recently noticed my emotional body return to that of an anxious little boy that's afraid he isn't worthy of receiving what he wants. This boy is no stranger, this boy is the part of me that has been running through the back of my mind undermining dreams and relationships for all of my adult life.

So why am I telling you this?
I've come to believe that before I allow myself to move forward I must first resolve the issues from which I ran, forgive the parts of myself that I projected and vilified, and merge this anxious child with the lovingly confident man I've grown to know.
When the changes I wish to create in this world remain, they will have survived because all of me was complete with what was, not 99%.

So much is happenin on our marble in the dark and the Occupy Movement appears to me as the more visible components of a massive underlying shift. A deep restructuring that many of us have called forth for ages is now birthing itself and this process is not obligated to be comfortable.

Having participated in several of these local Occupy events, I can say I'm grateful to contribute to their expansion as I believe they are some of the first waves of a new kind of revolution.
The one thing I wish to infuse into the Occupy message is this.
Let us be conscious in our dialogue and shift from an US vs THEM conversation into an US conversation. We have such a gift before us.. To receive this gift fully and pass it down to our posterity, we will first be faced with stripping the caustic threads of blame and separation from the blanket of thought that fosters all of our tomorrows. The most courageous of us will begin with themselves.

This is everyone's time to show up, All of Everyone.

So, in this moment I call forth the allowance of as much humor and love imaginable to permeate this experience as I reclaim full empowered accountability for all that is of my life by merging the darkest aspects of my past with the brightest visions of my future.
In the meantime, I'm taking it easy on the kid within and observing him with compassionate eyes.
Lookin forward to gettin this record out soon...

Love Y'all,

I Apologize

Okey Dokey Gang!

I Apologize for falling out of integrity with my own word regarding this album.

I promise the record is literally being mastered as I write this and everyone that donated to make this record a reality will be getting some download love by the middle of this month.

This EP has been such a learning experience for me and I'm grateful to feel myself moving forward both as an artist as as a producer. I'm honored by everyone's support and beyond appreciative for y'alls patience.  Budgeting time and money have been such a growth area for me and I trust that the lessons I've learned this time around will help expedite the next record tremendously.

I look forward to wrappin up this loose end in my brain and moving forward.
So much awaits....

OnlyLove,
