The Music Of Poligraf : The Dam part 2





Clocking in at 22 minutes “The Dam” is my longest composition thus far. The piece uses the metaphor of water flowing from source to ocean to illustrate this mysterious process that we usually refer to as life. It comprises eight distinct movements, identified as follows :



  • 1. Source
  • 2. River
  • 3. Rapids
  • 4. Dam
  • 5. Immersion
  • 6.…

THE QUALITY LIFE by Stephen Covey

THE QUALITY LIFE

by Stephen Covey

Original Article can be found Here >>>



The secret life is the key to a quality life and that in turn is the key to a quality culture, products, and services. Once in New York City, I attended the Broadway play, The Secret Garden. The play was particularly poignant for me that evening because my mother had… Continue

To Our Members :: July 30, 2009

Dear NamaSpirit Friends,



I have a question for yoga teachers / students / and any thinking mind regarding a dilemma between teaching yoga (for what yoga is about) and making money.

http://namaspirittn.ning.com/profiles/blog/new#

I saw a video (and it was funny, and I did laugh -- even though I didn't want to!) but it does make me worry a bit.…

Yoga Teachers :: for the LOVE of....

A dilema arises at some point when teaching yoga. The costs associated with getting "certified" are not necessarily deserved fees, but they are not cheap. You can count on spending several thousand dollars and a big chunk will be books, supplies, clothing, music, space rental and on...and on...



For those who wish to take the knowledge they have gained and put it to use, just like any other vocation or profession. Personally, I am not sure that certification is necessary depending on… Continue

And he is your board and your fireside.

For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.





When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold… Continue

Any Thoughts on the 3/50 Project?

I believe rural communities have been practicing this for longer than most - but even we know there are times when we have to shop at the "shopping place who shall not be named!" because there are no local choices. However, when at all possible - if we begin to change how we think... if just 1/2 of all American households spent just $50.00 at there local stores / per month... Change would be possible? That's what they think, take a look and see if it makes sense for your local… Continue

The Music Of Poligraf : Leftoverturned part 1



(Detail from "American quilt" )





When I complete a composition there are often unused ideas left. Some of those I find actually pretty good but if I can’t see how to fit them into the piece then there’s not much choice but to discard them. For a while.

If you are on FaceBook

Let's get together there so we can share & explore various collaborative solutions. Some of us work together on projects that support something we believe in - like analog forestry or businesses that strive to constantly set the bar higher for their efforts to give back to the community they serve. A few care to educate about healthier lifestyle changes as a means of promoting well being & fighting corporate control through taking the source of power away - MONEY.

The money they… Continue

I Believe...

I Believe...

That just because two people argue,

it doesn't mean they don't love each other.

And just because they don't argue,

it doesn't mean they do love each other.



I Believe...

That we don't have to change friends

if we understand that friends change.



I Believe...

That no matter how good a friend is,

they're going to hurt you every once in a while

and you must… Continue
