SUMMER SONGS in the park, 4th Sundays

POETRY & MUSIC CIRCLE IN THE PARK 

SUMMER SUNDAYS,  July 22 & August 26 

4:00 - 6:30 pm  

WHERE: Volunteer Park, North Capitol Hill of Seattle Amidst the cedar groves northeast of the outdoor amphitheater and south of the conservatory.

WHAT: Bring poem, song, drum/instrument or just yourself to enJOY the soundscape we co-create on a summer afternoon in Nature's bounty.

These events are fruit of the last year's participation in the Artist' Way program to recover our often buried inner artist child.

What if JOY JOY is what it's all about??

What if en-joy-ing life

with music, community, moving our beautiful bodies, and participating in that which leads us to growth,

and some kind of service, IS what we all all most deeply looking for

and need to be fully alive?!

JOY JOY.

What is Joy, anyway?! What does it FEEL like?

Hmmm.

One way to find out if this works for you, and yours, is to step out ...

Below is an invitation to try just that -- Live in Joy -- and enter into songs with meaning on (a kind of holiday) March 17th.

JOY JOY.

WHY DID THE MOVIE "Artist" win the oscar this year?

JOY JOY, on a screen -- old school meets new days.

Bring forth your inner ARTIST by joining future events which invite forth your voice, writing, inner song,

shake of a rattle. Or just write a few words in response to this blog (or another). In this way, we engage

and find out: We are not alone.

You are cordially INVITED to come witness the fruit of years of preparation: (and thawing: its 30 years since buying my first guitar!)

THE VISION and INTENTION

of the Evening (and Monthly Music Gatherings 2012):

New songs come through many artists and some ask to be brought to the light of day;

Come on a journey with me into spaces and places,

some playful and humorous, some sacred and even magical.

In this way the evening becomes a sharing -- of music, story, a SongSharing

which you can join in, participate, in multivalent ways.

This event is the first of MONTHLY gatherings to come --

indoors and in local parks under cedar trees -- over the span of 2012.

• Bring a friend or two!!
• Celebrate Life and
• the Precious sounds of FREE Live music!

FYI: The group is called under my stage name:

Timothy EarthHealer & Band (SoulFam)

sings Kitty Tiger Joy Joy!

Memories of the Snowstorm: Haiku and meditations to come

Remarkable! Beautiful! Fun! Scary ...

The Weeklong SnowStorm of 2012

expressed itself in three movements: Snow, Ice and Wind

(and for some, floods & power outages for days)

However it was experienced ...

SNOWFLAKES REMAIN

in the shape of Haiku here for you:

During those days of forced retreat these poems emerged

and asked to be shared ...

1. Boughs, heavy with snow

Bend to the Earth, pointing:

pure white, powdery delight.

2. Snow fall, Winters day.

Slow down, gears halt to silence;

(So) we may feel the Love.

3. Ice, Snow, Broken Branches

Upon the Ground - Nature's

heavy burden, down.
