Thoughts for the New Year

To be honest, I haven't even had a chance to think much about Christmas yet, so it seems a little premature to be writing about the New Year, but since this is not a historical blog, here it goes..

I have been thinking about the New Year a lot lately, mainly because my band has a First Night Show (New Year's Eve) and I wanted to make it a special night for the audience and for us. With all the logistics of gigs sometimes, the good part- having and doing a show - sometimes gets lost in all the preparations. I was thinking about how I wanted the show to be, and what we should or should not change, and then I got this Christmas card in the mail today from my friend Dehconte. Dehconte is a musician - really great djembe player who also sing and plays guitar.
See if this inspires you to make a good year for 2007...it inspired me!

"Our goal on this path of awakening is not to change who we are, but to remember who we are. Are you a chicken or an eagle? Were you born to scratch in the dust, or soar in the heavens? In your answer lies your destiny."
