A wonderful event to meet musicians, artists, craftsmen, teachers and healers.

While helping Bailee with some chakra issues, her infant son began to explore.  So I scooped him up and continued the energetic work.  You can see he is just about to change his mind about exploring and grab the bigger rattle!  Fortunately I was able to complete rather than compete.

I couldn't have been more pleased to participate in Matthew and Anita's wedding. This beautiful clearing was the scene of their vows. The wedding coordinator said to me, "be sure you change the tune as the bride and groom walk down the aisle, but I trust you...you look like you have done this before."

Parents of the bride were escorted down the aisle to "Promised Remembered" off of the Healing Heart CD. I continued to play as the wedding party approached my position. Then I saw the beaming bride begin her walk, and I quickly switched to "Blue Element" off of the Heart's Reprise CD.

After the wedding, the bride honored and humbled me by saying that "it was just what we wanted...I felt as if I were seeing my husband for the first time on top of a mountain!"

What an evening!

(note the small bottle of scented "Florida Water" that I used to open a sacred space).

Malibu is a Native American word meaning "where the surf is loud." 
This spot is not far from the location of the filming of the "Beach
Blanket" movies  of the 60's.  This view is typical on a weekday
morning, where I enjoy recording the surf for the background of some of
the Memo flute songs.  In the forground is a Roland Edirol digital
recorder, soaking up the morning sounds I hope before getting soaked by the surf.

The purpose of these mysterious dwellings is a bit of mystery.  Best research suggests that it was a shaman's cave, maybe a type of Native American Oracle of Delphi.  I captured this woman sitting where she felt the shaman might have, 700 years ago.

I have been thinking alot these days about getting a dog, but the travel schedule makes me hesitate, and it seems to be easier to buy a house than to rescue a dog. But now, everywhere I turn, there is "man's best friend." I went to check the mail, and who was in the back of a pick-up truck parked in front, but this GOOD BOY labrador retriever. Could this be evidence of the power of the Law of Attraction?

And who should move in next door?

It was just above freezing in Yucca Valley, CA. The moon was setting. I couldn't resist taking out the native american flute to calm the desert night spirits.

The night sky was spectacular, with Orion rising in the East.

  Here Shiang takes a moment to overlook the site of a sacred Peruvian ceremony that will start in Joshua Tree, CA within the hour.
