Bring them on! The more the merrier. The cream will rise to the top. We, the people, need and want a real primary. Our democracy needs it as well.
We need more forgiveness and kindness in this world.
And more music, and less pollution.

1/19/19 Show Recap
Hello There:
Had a fun show Saturday night. We managed to make some good times happen for a roomful of people for a couple of hours. As usual, I did not hold back, but this time, I did not get to sleep in on Sunday to recover, though I managed to grab a few winks on the plane.
This is Ann Cohen, who is an "artist in the moment" to the core. It is rare that you see her without pens and paper; she exudes and documents joy, as you can see from this photo and her artwork below.
Today, I am feeling a mixture of exhaustion, gratitude and melancholy, as I do my best to navigate the process of saying goodbye to my mom. Barring some miracle, it is evident that she is not long for this earth.
We all have a limited amount of time on this earth. It's how we choose to spend it that matters.
May you spend as much as you can with people you love, loving what you are doing.
Ox,
Mari

The Journey
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting their bad advice --
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voice behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life that you could save.
