I am far away from Oregon in upstate New York and reminded of the wisdom:

Or as another modern day prophet put it to music:

So here I am - far away from my circumstance at home and it is a powerful tool to give me perspective on my life and what lies in my future.

Took a break yesterday from working on music to enjoy a day at Niagara Falls and other parts of Canada. The falls were a powerful place of awe, inspiration and realization how insignificant and yet precious life is for each of us. As I watched the American Falls from the Canadian side, I sobbed from deep within as pain was released and healing took place. I was also in touch with a profound gratitude for my life fully alive and the realization how close my dance with cancer took me to missing out on a grand moment like this.

Time spent on a beautiful grand piano and time spent in deep spiritual converations with Bobbette and Stan help me in feeling loved, accepted and nurtured. My music flows from my heart and expresses a unique beauty from within me, not requiring any lyrics to explain. I continue to draw closer to divine love and realize that nothing else, not my wife nor anyone else, can fill a God shaped void. We talk of Jesus, of Yogananda, Echhart Tolle, of music, marriages, relationships, life, so much more. I wish this "movie" could go on forever as I am free to realize myself without the strong energetic pull of the pain between my wife and I.

My good friend the Oracle manifests the heart of the matter when I receive:

As I play piano, Bobbette encourages me to play with deeper intention, to heal myself and hopefully others that might receive my gift of music some day. I continue to go deeper and realize that skating away on the river will not solve anything.

Another evening spent enjoying incredible fireworks had the three of us giggling like children as we ohhed and awed as each "firegasm" filled the sky with color and shape, form and meaning.

The final band member arrives tonight and our music will grow to another level of healing as we create intent to play as one.

And so it goes.
