Again, it’s been a while. The five of us are now in a town called Newport News, Virginia— just a few miles from Langley Air Force Base. We’ve played at the A.R.E. center founded by Edgar Cayce and the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Peninsula in the Virginia Beach area. It has been a tremendous weekend full of warm hearts and some of the best music to date. This tour we are headed from Virginia through the Carolinas, Georgia, down to the Miami area, and back up to Winter Solstice in Lake Wales, Florida. Right now I am sitting with Guru Ganesha and Karta in a local Panera (another great establishment with WiFi) while Krishan gets Miracle fixed. Yes, our reliable van has gone to the auto shop. We have been noticing a funky smell coming from under the hood after drives and eventually the “get engine serviced soon” light came on. We haul a lot of weight with that engine. I’m surprised that it does so well.
Thoughts that have been coming up so far on this tour are about the mind. One of our producers said something very interesting. We tend to associate and attatch emotions to things. We link certain states of mind to external situations. What happens if we choose to be positive no matter what is going on outside? The entire world changes and all you can do is laugh when chaos is sent your way. As a reminder, my blood type is B Positive. We’re happy to have a little relaxing time. Winston-Salem, NC here we come!
Pictures coming soon!
