Welcome Fall

Through the power of sound, Sandy lead our fall equinox group in a healing meditation using a large bowl made out of courts crystal. The theme of Circle was balance. I asked for balance with the wedding and becoming married. During the meditation, she asked to repeat in our mind and in our hearts the following words of healing. As you welcome fall into your life, I encourage you to turn off the t.v., music; maybe event take a walk and say these words. Your intention to heal a friend, family member or yourself, will be heard. Bless it be.

“Be well

Free from suffering

Peace”

Music and Memories

As I was finishing my strengths development paper tonight, an old favorite song came through my itune shuffle. It was “The Prize Fighter” by The Velvet Teen. The Velvet Teen was my favorite local emo band. If you ask Marta, I dragged her to so many emo shows. What made The Velvet Teen so much fun to see live was our good friend Logan Whitehurst, the drummer. Marta and I went to Sonoma State with him. He was in my one of my core seminar classes. The last time I saw him perform with the band was back in February 2004 in a small club in San Francisco. Some time later I heard he found a brain tumor and was taking a break from the band.

After finishing my paper, I decided to go on YouTube and see if I could find a Velvet Teen video. Sure enough, “The Prize Fighter” popped up. As I read the latest comments, I notice someone leave this comment, “The original drummer (Logan Whitehurst) died of brain cancer and the bass guitarist/back-up vocalist (Joshua Staples) left to work on another project (The New Trust)…”  I searched some more to find he died December 3rd, 2006.

Just like that, a song took me back in time AND woke me out of my state of daily life.

I hope you enjoy the video. It’s a great song with an amazing, talented person.
