I've been singing and performing my songs for the mama earth since 1989, and in the last years my connection to her, my devotion, has grown, expanded, matured, deepened, become as natural as the weather.
New Songs
I thank the spirits of the land, our ancestors, daily with sweet humble prayers and songs, asking for rain when we need it, asking for guidance on my activist path, my peaceful warrior journey. I move through communities and offer the music to the global movement, this worldwide maturation of humanity, as we take responsibility for ourselves and our children, and as we come to engage with the cycles of the earth. I offer my songs to the shifting seasons, recognizing their patterns and emulating them with my breath,my dreams, my celebrations, my psyche, my relations, my rest and my work.

I'm about letting go of attachment to old ways
that leave us trapped in unhealthy fear and unnecessary suffering.
I'm about rising up to my highest, most activated, most liberated,
most whole, juicy, joyful Self,
connecting with my guides, my spirit guides, animal guides, mentors, earth, and listening for the path of least resistance,
the I Ching, the easy way,
the path of most peace and joy and songs and apricots
and smiles and dance
and re-membrance of a time when humanity lived in peace,
made artful, functional living,
and loved one another as ourselves.
I am off on this grand adventure!

Thanks for the note Dianne.
We met in Hawaii briefly... at COCO's. I was on the big island for a few months for a permaculture coiurse we organized out there.
I absolutely loved, and was very touched by your music.
I hope our paths cross again, with more time to spare.. and I'm sure they will.

Hi
perhaps you might give me some comments on my book

regards ROb -o-o- |
That this is the eleventh hour.
Now, you must go and tell the people,
That THIS is the hour,
And there are things to be considered.
Where are you living? What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in the right relationship?
Where is your water?
Know your garden ...
It is time to speak your truth.
Create your community,
Be good to each other.
Do not look outside yourself for a leader.
There is a river flowing now very fast,
It is so great and swift.
That there are those who will be afraid,
They will try to hold onto the shore.
They will feel they are being pulled apart,
And will suffer greatly.
Understand that the river knows its' destination,
The elders say we must let go of the shore.
Push off into the middle of the river,
Keep our eyes open and our heads above water.
And I say; see who is in there with you,
Hold fast to them and celebrate!
At this time in history,
We are to take nothing personally.
Least of all, ourselves!
For the moment we do,
Our spiritual growth and journey comes to an end.
The time of the Lone Wolf is over!
Gather yourselves!
Banish the word 'struggle' from Your attitude and vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done,
In a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are all about to go on a journey,
We are the one's we have been waiting for!
-Thomas Banyacya Sr. (1910-1999);
Speaker of the Wolf, Fox and Coyote Clan
