The info on my show at the KO Festival in Amherst MA this summer is up
www.kofest.com/Poetic%20License.htm
we had a wild day working on refining the end of this piece... we have continued this prayer process and now I am as much curious about that as anything
we all trust each other a lot and the unity at moments is profound... it allows for us to speak about hard things though, which means it isn't always easy
BUT it means that this piece- as abstract as it is- is coming from such deep stuff...
I am grateful, grateful, grateful
