Speaking

This is where you become a bit more familiar with me and my poetry by listening to and viewing the messages that have enlightened my life.

Please remember that it is best to listen with your eyes and look with your heart. That is when you truly start to see the elegance of a spider spinning his web.

Let us together spin a web of Light around ourselves and all those around us.

LOOKING AT MY SAME LIFE WITH NEW EYES

Stop me from Jumping over the Bridge of Life with ONE WORD

This video is based on a journal of poetry about seventy or eighty verses long, I had just started to wonder about the ONE WORD that would stop one from jumping over the bridge of life. And truly, I did not know what the word would be until the last moment that i wrote it. Here are a few of the verses, some of which are represented in this video.

CELL EMPTY OF LIGHT

The Video below a documentation of a wonderful evening of recitations, music and singing. The evening was based upon one a journal called “The Writing on the Wall Meant Nothing to Me”. Basically, the story of me when I woke up one day not sure where I was and why I was there. My audience were my cell mates. Enjoy this intriguing story and ask yourself what would be the writing you would leave on the wall.

CELL EMPTY OF LIGHT – At the Pavilion, Dubai

Interesting how one can find oneself in a Cell Empty of Light time after time. This time I found myself in Dubai at the Pavilion Down Town, in a small audotorium. My cell mates sat on comfortable bean bag type of chairs and I stood in front of the group with our wonderful Emma on Violin as we started to tell about my time in a jail cell and the discovery of the writing on the wall.

The words flowed as if off the walls of the universe and into the space. The audience were captured and the music brougth everything to life. The wonderful voice of So Young once again gave wings to the Angel Who Lost His Wings.
We were fortunate to have Jamal reciting poetry and Mina accompanying with live sound.

The evening was truly a great success, I can comfortably say that since everyone stayed around for a long time afterward in the garden at the Pavillion. Let us see when I might find myself in a jail cell once again.
