2 little birds

2009-05-22T20:55:00.000-07:00

2 little birds
flew onto the eaves on my patio

perched on a ledge that seemed a nice secluded roost

chirping so joyously with the sounds and sights of spring

i shouldn't have, but i did
crept so gently to just look at them

and off they flew like embarrassed young lovers
and now I am left with no nest in the eaves on my patio

where are you Paul McCartney?

I know you are in town, because I feel the music

LEGEND

wherever you are, I know you are feeling the cool brisk winds of this early early morning April 16, 2009

how lucky I am to have you here!

somewhere

close

I can feel the music

it is so close

and so wonderful!

should i tell you i met your wonderful mother 10 plus year ago, a youthful wonder, i know where you get it from;

chaperoning your sister Ruth, beautiful in her multicolored pastel nails

who hailed me as the best receptionist in LA

and told me to pursue a career of song and movement

what generosity!

how astonished and grateful i was

so

get on with yer bad arse musso self!!!

I say you'll start Coachella with a very slow piano intro of "let em in" absolutely brilliant and will bring the house down

then

"get back"

and then everything after that, i more than trust you with my musical vulnerability.

You will be AMAZING!

For a fan that met you on Ed Sullivan just a few light years ago;

Hello!!!
and
Welcome!!!

and so very very many thanks for too many brilliant songs to list,

love yah and so does the world,

you took, these sunken eyes and learned us too see!

always,

Earthquake weather

2009-04-13T21:29:00.000-07:00

timeless stillness tonight

as it must have been this way in the beginning

these desert mountains combine with the sky into a place of their own

dry so very quiet so timeless
the hazed blue pink dusk where the sun has set ageless

the jack rabbited cottontails come out to carefully eat
along side them the wassailing quail their never ending playmates

side by side in tune and on their own wavelengths

earthquake weather
that timeless space where time is suspended

The sound of spring is sweet!

Spring in the high desert of Magical Morongo is a wonderful thing to hear!

How i wish i could record and replay for all of you to hear, all the beautiful spring bird songs i hear. The sound of spring is sweet! The sweetest songbirds sing their mating songs early early here, in the high desert, up in these dry seemingly barren leeward California hills.

Today a different bird song sound!
A high wuuuuah, wuaaaah

The song of the ancient quail yes, the same silly and endearing cartoon character that blows his little forehead tassel upwards, and runs really fast everywhere (they do fly)

But this is the real deal
and what a brave and romantic heart he is
I saw him jump to the top of this very high rock
and from there wuaaaah out his mating call.

Tirelessly again and again, calling out finally
reward by a returning call of the same nature higher up and deeper in the canyon
and there he goes, pulled by natures spring love call
jumping off the rock and running and stopping to pluck a seed on the green grass, on his way toward her.

So still a night

I open my window so wide to let all the night in

it's twinkly with magic

I watch the triangle (of stars) above my view, till dawn
and the little star told me, don't be sad I'm not going
only becoming part of the light (of the new dawn)

you see, i love nature and the amazing gifts it brings to me
thank you Mother and Father

Soft Desert Rain

2009-01-21T11:55:00.000-08:00

the rain starts gently
how do you describe the distinct sweet smell of rain in the desert...
the essence of California
everything blushes with scent

the pace slows
and everyone's sights are turned to the sky
grateful for a change, grateful for the rain, grateful for life.

the sun and clouds take they're turns
like lovers
bold and tender

How to keep "Snow Bird" skin moist in the desert!

2008-12-14T15:21:00.000-08:00

Yes, it's been quite a change. Journeying from the East Coast, Connecticut to the West Coast, Southern California. We have joined the ranks of the all too wise "Snow Birds"

Wet to dry. Green to brown. But the world is special in all of it's locations. And I am discovering all of these special nooks and crannies and how to adjust to desert living.

Well 1st of all it's moisturize, moisturize, and then sunblock! To prevent the desert's high winds, sunny climate and winters heaters to suck out all of your precious water your body has you must start with the basics, moisturizing.

1. Oil up on Jojoba Oil (pronounced "ho-HO-bah") after showering or bath to lock in moisture.

Jojoba is THEE IDEAL moisturizer. Jojoba is a shrub native to California, Arizona and Northern Mexico's deserts. It can be found in health stores or the natural or organic section in any good market. It is a golden magical elixir ideal for moisturizing every part on your body. Since it is similar to human sebum, it is soaked in by our skin, instead of laying on top like baby oil. It balances the skin. Moisturizing dry skin and easing oil production in oily skin. Since it is a natural product you needn't worry about chemicals and additives and it goes a along way, so it is also economical! It cleans and "luxes" up every part on your water parched body. Hydrating Lips, Eyelashes, Hair, Bellies, Arms, Legs and feet. Oh the Relief! So how do you say it?

Oh! Jojoba! (ho HO bah)!
