I Have Learned To Be Steady In

If A Relationship Is Founded On Love It Doesn't End

While Visiting Places In The South With My Heart Really Open, I Realized How Important People In Certain Geographical Spots Were To Me, What They Symbolize, How I'm Still Connected To Them And How Much They Are A Part Of My Ancestry, Both Musical And Real.

I Gave Up Language For A While, And I Started Painting.and Then I Only Listened To Miles Davis And Other Instrumental Music To See How It Felt To Be Without Words.

For The First Time In 23 Years I'm Enjoying The Process Of Supporting It, Of Going Out And Doing Shows, And Doing The Interviews, And Doing Everything.

I Am So Sick Of Reading About Another Car Bomb, Another Suicide Bomber, Another 10, 20, 30, 70, 100 People Dead In A Day, Both Americans And Iraqis.
