Today I have not done much. This morning there was some delicious Spinach spaghetti to devour and so I did do that. I am planning on going to work today. I will be working at the Aspen Institute at the Ideas Festival for setup. It should be a great experience. I am quite excited. The weather is nice today. The sun is already shining brightly and a blue sky fills up my nearby window sill. Japan is pushing into my thoughts regularly. I am very excited to go experience another adventure. Gosh what a world we live in. One of my good friends in college just seems to be getting more famous by the day. She is touring the world and is now playing on late night shows. It’s amazing the people that you come in contact with! Teaching shall be a new adventure. I think it’s important to always write down your thoughts. You never know where they will take you. Just a minute ago I was leaving Australia dreaming of thinking of going to Japan and now it’s right in front of me. I’m amazed by the adventures my friends have already embarked on and the places they have gone and still are. At this day in age anything is possible. We have the whole world at our fingertips we just need to walk outside and keep walking. These last few months my music is coming together. I have a great group of friends that I love playing music with. It is such a pleasure to meet on the mall and play to the afternoon folk. Now we are again parting ways and thus I am filled by a reluctance to move forward to Japan as I see a path forming if I change course. I am confident in my decision and am excited to see what comes. That’s my entry for now. You know how I feel.

BED UNDONE
BED UNDONE
VERSE 1
When the snow's falling underneath the sun
Peaks appear as a bed undone
Crunch of the snow as your feet take their place
Simple things happen in a simple way
Love your lady love the day
Love how she pops into your thoughts each day
Love the lake that shows the stars
Shining with the light that's in your eyes
CHORUS
Snowflakes falling clear
With the patterns of the light
Snowflakes falling clear
With the patterns of your life
VERSE 2
Wake up in the morning with the same tune
Tapping to the beat of the rhythm in my shoe
Skiing in the skylight with the heaven up above
Loving in the snow is a way to love!
CHORUS
Snowflakes falling clear
With the patterns of the light
Snowflakes falling clear
With the patterns of your life
When the snow's falling underneath the sun
Peaks appear as a bed undone
Flowers
FLOWERS
VERSE 1
The day is gone the stars are out
I know that because I can't hear the mouse
He was scurrying in his hole the whole day
Looking for some leftover rays
That he might have misplaced in the middle of the hour
Couldn't blame him for that simple task
It's like smelling flowers
CHORUS
You run around in the reds and blues
Looking for the best and what to choose
But what you find
What's in your mind
Is every flower is the best kind
VERSE 2f
My side is dim my head is clear
I'm drinking my cup of joe
Steam floating off the coffee cup
Into my lamps bright glow
And by and by white butterflies play in my lamps bright light
Dancing the music of cricket sounds
Making pretty sounds in the night
They go ba ba ba doo doo ba
I've had some love
I've had some life
I've had the breeze come by in the middle of the night
I've listened to the wind instead
Sweeping through the valley looking for flower heads
For flower nights
For windswept thoughts
Thoughts on kites
Creep'n into the deep blue sun
Thoughts creep'n into someone's love
CHORUS
You run around in the reds and blues
Looking for the best and what to choose
But what you find
What's in your mind
Is every flower is the best kind!

CLAIRE
CLAIRE
Wait for your eyes to close
As I turn off the lights
Wind dances all around us
Light flashes in your eyes
Crinkle your nose move a little closer
Move your body to the bosa nova
That's singing in our hearts
In our minds
I meet you right on time
And this breathing that we're used
Finding's what we're supposed to do
As I and I and you and you through and through are together
Hands in Hands on an endless highway
Feet one on one as we walk down the street
And our voices calling in the air above us
They will find us find us when we meet
Crinkle your nose move a little closer
Move your body to the bosa nova
That's singing in our hearts
In our minds
I meet you right on time
And this breathing that were used to
Finding's what we're supposed to do
As I and I and You and You through and through are together
Through and through are together!

NIGHT WALK
NIGHT WALK
VERSE 1
He was trying the find a path that would lead him home
His breath was frost and he felt lost in the cold
And as he approached the town with its twinkling lights
The nightlife around and the people abroad came in sight
CHORUS
But time and time again he had tried to get around
The problems of the night and cold of the night made no sound
And where to go and what to do just hit his mind
He just wanted to find an answer
VERSE 2
It took a million miles and a few years more
They both met and friendship was set on the shore
Everything to say and everything to do hand in hand they traveled the lands of the world
CHORUS
But time and time again he had tried to get around
The problems of the night and cold of the night made no sound
And where to go and what to do just hit his mind
He just wanted to find an answer
Which he had found

JAPAN SONG
Japan Song
Verse 1
Here we are standing in circle
Things happen every single day
And up above the sky painted purple
Just like the colors of the rainbow in the rain
Two year old sits out on the front porch
Finger pointing to the haze inside the sky
And he's drawn a tree up on a hillside
purple just the flower to his right
Kino Wa Kawa a Ite
Totemo Kirena da ne
Ashta wa yama a ikemas
Totemo shaburi des ne
And Repeat! And Sing! And Dance! And Breathe!
