The Tea Grotto

Okay I’m writing a little extra, since this is a blog and all, and not just shameless self promotion.

Actually it is.  Who else is going to do it?  My fans, my family, my Steven, my Ronan ( in time will as well).

Alot of people are involved of helping me make my music carreer a go.  The Tin Angel family, The Tea Grotto Family,  The Big Ed’s Family.  The more music I make the more people are involved, the more magic happens.   And it’s happening, my music is blooming!  Come to my shows!  Share with me your muses and we can inspire each other!

Harvesting Wrath

Fall harvests something in me—warrior-ship.  I trained hard for six months. And I have been training Fitness and Tai Chi for over two years, with a small community of warriors. I train with my partner and instructor Steven Smith, World Tai Chi Boxing Association Instructor.

I stood in a check-out line at Big Lots. I chatted with a lovely, yet sprightly Great-Grandma.  She carried two items to purchase. She enchanted my son Ronan with tricks of her trade, she clicked her tongue, smiled and tried to grab his hand. Ronan bashfully declined the hand grab.  She told me that she had three Great-Grandchildren.

The person ahead of her finished and before we knew it—a middle aged frizzy-haired, thin and slightly stooped guy hissed to his companion, a younger, friendly looking woman, hurry up and cut in line. She was old enough to know better. The man wedged a cart, stocked full and brimming, in front of Great-Grandma. Wow! (Wrath.)
