About Me |
|
| This is a funny section to have words in, because the "me" shifts and changes in all kinds of ways at all kinds of times. But some things that have remained constant in my life are my passion for music and my life as a performing classical pianist; my love of quiet and of friends, and of words and language; and things that remind me of other things, like the smell of freshly-cut grass or the way the moon looks behind a thin cloud at the end of October. I love all paths to the Divine, no matter how apparently twisty or turny or opposite, because all things must return to their Source, because there is nothing other than the Source. I have discovered that, in this lifetime, in the form of my Guru, Adi Da Samraj. Who knew. Certainly not me. But otherwise, I am friendly and open and flexible to a certain degree, though not necessarily supportive of egoic bullshit (read: drama). I will most likely not call you on any of that, unless you ask me to, but what you may notice is that we suddenly don't spend as much time together as we may previously have. And it's all ok. Our paths are our paths. And yours and mine have just crossed if you're reading this. So: hello. I like you. Don't be an asshole. I'll try to be good. Love and love; why bother with anything else?

I'd like to meet:All of you. With a slight emphasis on Meryl Streep, Albert Brooks, and Barbara Cook. |
|
Music:I like a nice tune. I also like a complex one. What I don't like is Boulez and his ilk; no matter how fabulous their ears may be, that music doesn't penetrate me below my neck. I am unmoved. All should kneel before Bach and Brahms; I also have a rather outsized liking for the music of Ernest Bloch. As far as pop, I enjoy one or two songs by almost everyone, from Ben Folds to Tori Amos, Rufus Wainwright to Aretha Franklin. Aqua. Clay Aiken. Laurie Anderson is a favorite, though she's hard to classify, aside from being simply fabulous. Ella Fitzgerald, John Corigliano, Stephen Sondheim, John Williams, Rachmaninoff, George Crumb, Arvo Pärt, Ray Lynch, Beethoven, Chopin, Vaughan-Williams, Cass Elliott, Schubert, God Speed You Black Emperor! Lots of different stuff. I also love fusion, especially if it incorporates Eastern Indian music into the mix... |
|
Movies:Eternal Sunshine, LOTR, Miyazaki, I Heart Huckabees, Baraka, Disney/Pixar, Albert Brooks, Waking Ned Devine, Christopher Guest, X-Men, Peter Weir, John Waters, Contact. Things that are made with love. And listening. |
|
Television:I watch very little TV, but some shows I enjoy are Cheers (best ensemble-comedy EVER), South Park, The Simpsons, Queer as Folk, and Scrubs. And I love The Daily Show. |
|
Books:World According to Garp, The Mummery Book, The Dawn Horse Testament, Life of Pi, Dave Eggers, LOTR, Stephen King, The Glass Castle, Shakespeare, any writer who uses ecstatic language, who blurs the apparent lines between mind, flesh, and God, between poetry and living, between here and there and everywhere. And a well-placed fart-joke can save a relationship. |
|
Heroes:Adi Da, Jesus, Krishnamurti, Ken Wilber, Leon Fleisher, Meryl Streep, Einstein, Richard Feynman, George Carlin, Albert Brooks, Georges Cziffra, anyone who is (or even just seems to be) about self-transcendence and awakening of true FEELING in this Kali Yuga hell-realm...and my mother. And the fact that half of you think that's cheesy or stupid is just a sign of the darkness of the times. Freeze and feel below that, deep, and you'll know it's true. We love whom we love. And a single-parent is a kind of hero. |
