Hello. i am celebrating all of the people i have in year long programs that are inspiring me and giving my life so much meaning and passion these days. I would like to write a poem, and am lacking as a writer, so i sing to these people everytime we meet. I am celebrating that through our group commitments, integrity and pleasure we enrich each other's lives so deeply. I am also celebrating the nvc communities where i live, share nvc, and blossom into grace. There is Such passion and aliveness that i experience with you! So many ways of having fun and laughing and fulfilling our needs for humor and creativity! Your commitment to growth, lovingkindness and truth touches me in every way.I am inspired to offer more and more fun nvc evenings of celebration because of the response and the connection that happens in these times together. I am dreaming of bringing nvc to broadway, to re write all my favorite mo town tumes in nvc lingo and hit the stage. In the meantime, our nourishing of each other with great poetry, our dancing, moving, singing, drumming and inquiring into life together is inspiring more gratitude and grace in me and around me that i knew could exist.

Advice doesn't help lovers!
They're not the kind of mountain stream
you can build a damn across.
An intellectual doesn't know what the "drunk" is feeling!
Don't try to figure what those lost inside love will do next!
Someone in charge would give up all his power, if he caught one whiff of the wine musk from the room where the lovers are doing who knows what!
Life freezes if it doesn't get a taste of this almond cake. The stars come up spinning every night, bewildered in love they'd grow tired with that revolving if they weren,t....
Remember the lips where the wind breath originated, and let your note be clear,
Don't try to end it. BE YOUR NOTE. I'll show you how it's enough.
Go up on the roof at night in this city of the soul, Let everyone climb on their roofs and sing their notes!
SING LOUD!
