On Sunday October 25th, I tuned into one of my favourite music radio programs called "Cafe L.A." The program features - as host Tom Schnabel often repeats - "music from around the block, and around the world."
This Sunday I was mezmerized and entranced by the voice of a young maiden named Yasmin Levy. Her music is an ode to her Jewish/Ladino roots. The songs are deeply moving and emotive. I'd never heard anything like it!
For a taste of her style, take a listen to her song "Me Voy" on youtube. Even though she sings in Spanish you will no doubt be moved by her spell binding style.
<bushed after a very busy day... grateful for the peace
and quiet of the yacht ... retire to bed early... send
good vibes and good night wishes to all>
<hold onto gift from Mr. MMC... sink into warm covers
...remember how it felt to have my heart in my throat,
gripping the seat... and loving that we could crash at
any moment... laughing out loud to myself ... the
thrill--the danger--was exquisite!!! get little thrill
chills just thinking about it >

Some walk by night
some fly by day
nothing could change you
set and show the way
charming and bright
laughing and gay
I'm just a stranger
love the blues and the grays
There is the sun and moon
facing their own sweet tune
watch them when dawn is due
sharing one's fate
some walk by night
and some will fly by day
something is sweeter
when you meet along the way
So come walk the night
come fly by day
something is sweeter
cause we met on the way
We'll walk the night , yeah ,
we'll fly by day
moonlighting strangers
who just met on the way
who just met on the way
who just met on the waaaayyyyyyy........
(with MSR-San) Like the River ... Life In Technicolor II
so excited... running and ducking under ribbon that marks
entryway to magical travel...
whisper excitedly... Thee must know this has been so thrilling!
sooooooo... Awesome!

See where the wind takes us ~~~~~
Traveling at a magic speed....
Taking a break, after a short flight, and looking for the right refreshments to help us on our journey, we find ourselves in a great hall with many books and writings. Surely this hall of higher learning is on a list of its own somewhere.
"Look, Rare, " I whisper.
"Did you know there were so many lists of 'Seven Wonders'? I didn't." There are lists of Man-Made Seven Wonders; Ancient, Medieval, Modern Seven Wonders; Seven Wonders of Canada; Seven Wonders of the Ukraine and even one from a USA Today Poll among others. All are lists of 7-10 of the Greatest Wonders of different categories."
::eyes wide as grins on a pumpkin... shaking head with all these possibilities...
answering whisper... did nay know MSR-San.. but now feel like
there a seven zillion wonders... grinning...

I hear callin feelin it in the unknown A new day bright warm sun For a new dimension I been workin for so long.... A new crazy love I seek in life to keep me flowin like the river.. like the river...
::: the crowd sways in mesmerized chorus... singing along:
Under the cold and dark in life will rise the magic of the giver... Like the river....
:: soft hugs shared between international music lovers... ideas
shared... notes taken... in answer to MSR-San's question many
agreed that there may well be Seven Wonders -
Seven Wonderful Venues for music concerts and shows....
:: notice MSR-San has tucked a map of the world under arm... smile...
:: feel so excited as MSR-San takes hand and flies way up.... northward....
swooping across the bright blue Pacific.::: look at MSR-San's face
and realize there had always been a plan to get to Tokyo...
::laugh as We land right inn front of another concert....
Coldplay - Life In Technicolor II (Live Tokyo 2009)
I could hear it coming Like a serenade of sound Now my feet won't touch the ground Gravity release me And dont ever hold me down Now my feet won't touch the ground....
::: feeling so filled with happiness...several days of beautiful experiences...
our search for the Seven Wonders will lead... who knows where?

He bends for one more contact... focus full...

:: steps towards the dark slightly musty velvet hangings...
as He moves... radiance touches His hair... lights from above glint...
soften upon his wool coat...
a silent song passes between Us... We become the dance...

lean for a moment backwards... His motion creates and invisible flow...
a way opens and tiny steps move instinctively forward... to the edge of back stage...
His footsteps sure and lithe.. already in tune with the dance...
military or religious posture.. solid muscles ripple under fabric... His bearing elegant..
He enters into the spotlight.... flash of high sun flowing... of His body honestly joyous...
:::all eyes riveted on His form.... His depth offered with only a few steps...
the audience takes in a breath of anticipation...
ah! realizing they are witness to beauty from a deep heart... from Love itself...
