Did you know....

Human activities have caused some 500 bird species worldwide to go extinct over the past five millennia. The predominant cause of species loss is habitat destruction.
Polar bears and hippos have joined the ranks of species threatened with extinction from climate change, unregulated hunting and other man-made dangers. More than 16,000 species of animals and plants are at risk of disappearing.
Rainforests cover only 7% of the earth's land surface, but they contain more than half of the species on earth.
Lightning flickers from the clouds to the ground somewhere in the United States 25 million times each year. An average of 67 people is killed by this lightning each year.
An oak tree produces about 50,000 acorns in a good season. Only a handful actually survive in just the right conditions to grow into trees.
Since 1980, the earth has experienced 19 of its 20 hottest years on record, with 1998 the hottest and 2002 and 2003 tied for second.
Over the course of 50 years, a single tree can generate $31,250 of oxygen, provide $62,000 worth of air pollution control, recycle $37,500 worth of water, and control $31,500 worth of soil erosion.
The Amazon River basin contains 20% of the world's fresh water.

We all have a voice, a heart, and a mind. Stand up! When all three are used together, we can create positive energy that can move mountains. Stand up! Use your voice! Make a difference.

About Me	As instruments come to life through breath the wind sends my high notes to indigo communions with Coltrane's "Favorite Things" ...this is my body which is given for you, this is my blood which is shed for you... my love like the wind, uncaged blows time into timeless whirlpools transfiguring fear and all of it's subordinates (possession, jealousy, fear) into crumbling dried leaves my love is the winds slave and, thus is free my love is the wind that is shaped as it passes through the lips of earthly vessels becoming words of wisdom songs of freedom or simply hot air my love is the winds song if it is up to me, i'll never die. if it is up to me, i'll die tomorrow one-thousand times in an hour and live seven minutes later if it is up to me, the sun will never cease to shine and the moon will never cease to glow and i'll dance a million tomorrows in the sun rays of the moon waves and bathe in the yesterdays of days to come ignoring all of my after thoughts & preconceived notions if it is up to me, if it is up to me. and thus my love: untainted eternal the wind is the moons imagination wandering: it seeps through cracks explores the unknown and ripples the grass my love is my souls imagination how do i love thee? imagine

Wild Fact About Me	Sometimes it takes greater courage to listen in silence then to stand up and speak out.
My Philosophy	Inner breathlessness, Outer restlessness By the time I caught up to freedom I was out of breath Grandma asked me what I'm running for I guess I'm out for the same thing the sun is sunning for What mothers birth their young'uns for And some say the spirit is coming for For all I know the earth is spinning slow Suns at half mast cause masses ain't aglow On bended knee, Prostrate before an altered tree I've made the forest suit me Tables and chairs Papers and prayers Matter versus spirit A metal ladder A wooden cross A plastic bottle of water A Mandela encased in glass A spirit encased in flesh Sound from shaped hollows The thickest of mucus released from heightened passion A man that cries in his sleep A truth that has gone out of fashion A mode of expression A paint splattered wall A carton of cigarettes A bouquet of corpses A dying forest A nurtured garden A privatized prison A candle with a broken wick A puddle that reflects the sun A piece of paper with my name on it I'm surrounded I surrender All All that I am I have been All I have been has been a long time coming I am becoming all that I am The spittle that surrounds the mouth-piece of the flute Unheard, yet felt A gathered wetness A quiet moisture Sound trapped in a bubble Released into wind Wind fellows and land merchants We are history's detergent Water soluble, light particles, articles of cleansing breath Articles amending death These words are not tools of communication They are shards of metal Dropped from eight story windows They are waterfalls and gas leaks Aged thoughts rolled in tobacco leaf The tools of a trade Barbers barred, barred of barters Catch phrases and misunderstandings But they are not what I feel when I am alone Surrounded by everything and nothing And there isn't a word or phrase to be caught A verse to be recited A man to de-fill my being in those moments I am blankness, the contained center of an "O" The pyramidic containment of an "A" I stand in the middle of all that I have learned All that I have memorized All that I've known by heart Unable to reach any of it There is no sadness There is no bliss It is a forgotten memory A memorable escape route that only is found by not looking There, in the spine of the dictionary the words are worthless They are a mere weight pressing against my thoughtlessness But then, who else can speak of thoughtlessness with such confidence Who else has learned to sling these ancient ideas like dead rats held by their tails So as not to infect this newly oiled skin I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal I can think of nothing less likely to fly There are no wings more weighted I too have felt a heaviness The stare of man guessing at my being A man making offerings to the after-future Sculpting rubber tree forests out of worn tires and shoe soles A nation unified in exhale A cloud of smoke A native pipe ceremony All the gathered cigarette butts piled in heaps Snow covered mountains Lipsticks smeared and shriveled Offerings to an afterworld Tattoo guns and plastic wrappers Broken zippers and dead eyed dolls It's all overwhelming me oak and elming me I have seeded a forest of myself Little books from tall trees It matters not what this paper be made of It's all overwhelming me Oak and elming me I have seeded a forest of myself Little books from tall trees On bended knee Prostrate before an altered tree I've made the forest suit me Tables and chairs Papers and prayers Matter versus spirit Through meditation I program my heart to beat break-beats and hum basslines in exhalation.
What Gives Me Hope	Equate rhyme with reason.Sun with season. Our cyclical relationship to phenomenon has encouraged scholars to erase the centers of periods, thus symbolizing the non-linear character of cause and effect. Reject mediocrity! Your current frequencies of understanding outweigh that which as been given for you to understand. The current standard is the equivalent of an adolescent restricted to the diet of an infant. The rapidly changing body would acquire dysfunctional and deformative symptoms and could not properly mature on a diet of apple sauce and crushed pears light years are interchangeable with years of living in darkness. The role of darkness is not to be seen as, or equated with, ignorance, but with the unknown, and the mysteries of the unseen. Thus, in the name of: Robeson, God's son, Hurston, Ahkenaton, Hathsheput, Blackfoot, Helen, Lennon, Khalo, Kali, The Three Marias, Tara, Lilithe, Lourde, Whitman, Baldwin, Ginsberg, Kaufman, Lumumba, Ghandi, Gibran, Shabazz, Siddhartha, Medusa, Guevara, Guardsieff, Rand, Wright, Banneker, Tubman, Hamer, Holiday, Davis, Coltrane, Morrison, Joplin, Dubois, Clarke, Shakespeare, Rachmninov, Ellington, Carter, Gaye, Hathoway, Hendrix, Kutl, Dickerson, Ripperton, Mary, Isis, Theresa, Plath, Rumi, Fellini, Michaux, Nostradamus, Nefertiti, La Rock, Shiva, Ganesha, Yemaja, Oshun, Obatala, Ogun, Kennedy, King, four little girls, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Keller, Biko, Perone, Marley, Shakur, Those Still Aflame.And the countless un-named. We claim the present as the pre-sent, as the hereafter. We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun. We are not afraid of the darkness, we trust that the moon shall guide us. We are determining the future at this very moment. We now know that the heart is the philosophers' stone. Our music is our alchemy. We stand as the manifested equivalent of 3 buckets of water and a hand full of minerals, thus realizing that those very buckets turned upside down supply the percussion factor of forever. If you must count to keep the beat then count. Find you mantra and awaken your subconscious. Carve your circles counterclockwise. Use your cipher to decipher, Coded Language, man made laws. Climb waterfalls and trees, commune with nature, snakes and bees. Let your children name themselves and claim themselves as the new day for today we are determined to be the channelers of these changing frequencies into songs, paintings, writings, dance, drama, photography, carpentry, crafts, love, and love. We enlist every instrument: Acoustic, electronic. Every so-called race, gender, and sexual preference. Every per-son as beings of sound to acknowledge their responsibility to uplift the consciousness of the entire World.

Quotation	"Next time you feel there isn't enough time to do something, remember that your day is no shorter than Michelangelo's, Da Vinci's, Albert Einsteins,...." ^^^^^^^^^^^ "I entreat you, I implore you, I exhort you,I challenge you: To speak with conviction. To say what you believe in a manner that bespeaks the determination with which you believe it. Because contrary to the wisdom of the bumper sticker, it is not enough these days to simply QUESTION AUTHORITY. You have to speak with it, too." ^^^^^^^^^^^ "Through meditation I program my heart to be breakbeats, and hummed basslines in exhalation." ^^^^^^^^^^^ "Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right." "We live in a complex world, a world that is constantly trying to knock us out of rhythm with the natural world.We must allow ourselves the chance to return to our rhythm of life." -Thoreau ^^^^^^^^^^^^ "The rain has stopped, The clouds have drifted away, And the weather is clear again. If your heart is pure, Then all things in your world are pure. Abandon this fleeting world, Abandon yourself, Then the moon and flowers will guide you along the Way."
