As you know, I am a great fan of eFolkMusic. There are hundreds of folk music artists on eFolkMusic from a wide array of musical styles. And now, it’s even easier to get in on all the good music there (and, download it to your computer or ipod, too!).
.
I have 39 songs on eFolkMusic (in the digital albums Weird Duck, Hungry When I Wake, Lean In For A Kiss). 26 of those songs are free to members. If you are a member (one month costs only $4.95), you can download any of those 26 songs and any other member mp3s up to a total of 100 mp3s every month. And, if you don’t use up all the 100 downloads, and you renew for the next month, you get rollover download credits, like rollover cell phone minutes. It’s a pretty cool deal.
.
I also have one song which is free to everyone (members or not), Lean In For A Kiss, in the Vol 3 Digital Sampler. (And, you can download songs by 11 other artists and bands, too.) The information for acquiring those songs is after the fold. (more…)

I hope all who are in our armed forces on this day are alive and unharmed. I thank all who currently serve and all who have served before.
.
In this country, we disagree about what is a ‘just’ war, but we appreciate and honor the sacrifice of those who serve this country in the armed forces.
.
Thank you men and women in uniform.

I thought it would never happen, but it has. Never mind that it is in the context of discussing Hillary losing the nomination for the Democratic Party, Arianna Huffington still said something good about Hillary. I’ll give her credit for that.

International Day Against Homophobia May 17, 2008 May 16, 2008

I’ve never heard of this before. The International Day Against Homophobia is tomorow, May 17, 2008. From the website, it looks like it’s based in Canada.
.
The focus this year is Health Care Workers. I wish them well. This is certainly a worthy focus. All people should be treated with dignity and respect. This applies when seeking health care, too. I am happy to see that someone is addressing this issue. Education is a good place to start.
.
.
Annual campaigns to combat homophobia focus on a different scope of activity each year. The goal of the Homosexuality is not a sickness! campaign is to reach all healthcare workers and professionals.
.
The 2008 campaign highlights gay and lesbian health issues. Just like any other citizens, gays and lesbians need to receive health services free of discrimination.

Flowers, Beauty and Music Above All Else: GLADIOLAS, stained glass, nathan pacheco May 16, 2008

The post about flowers hidden about my yard last summer and the post about my first stained glass piece are consistently high on the list of posts viewed on this site. (Is it because everyone loves flowers and stained glass?) The other post that is usually at the top of the list is the “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” post.
.
Yesterday, Nathan Pacheco passed “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” in the daily searches and views. I am happy to see that. Nathan is a fine man with tremendous heart and talent. If you don’t yet know about him, visit the Yanni website and click the Yanni Voices tab. Happy listening!

DR. CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTÉS on The Moderate Voice May 16, 2008
Posted by dhconcerts in About Life, Art and Music, Creative Souls, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Health, International, Peace, Justice and Equality, Quoting Others, Science, Storytelling, Think Green.add a comment

[UPDATE: Read Dr. E's most recent posts on The Moderate Voice.]
.
DR. CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTÉS has been a columnist for The Moderate Voice for more than a year, but I have not linked to her columns in any recent posts. I do not have a good reason for that, since she has much to say, and I enjoy her stories and analysis.
,
Her book Women Who Run With the Wolves was what informed me of her storytelling and therapist’s view of the world. From the day I found it (a few years after publication) until many months later, I read and reread the stories she told and her interpretations of their meanings. She is a wise voice in a world where we are too often lacking in wisdom.
,
This evening, I started looking back through the archives of her columns in TMV and began copying links to add to this page. The list became longer and longer.
.
The list below is not the complete body of Dr. Estes work on TMV, but it is a start. Visit The Moderate Voice to find more of her columns and to read the work of the other fine columnists.
.
DR. CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTÉS is a therapist, a story teller and a writer (among other things). In many of her columns on TMV, she tells stories and analyzes human behavior as it relates to current events in the USA and around the world.
.
Here are several paragraphs from one of her columns.
.
.‘Barack is Not White, Barack is Not Black’ The Possible Gift in Being Bi-Racial
March 18th, 2008 by DR. CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTÉS, TMV Columnist
Barack is, like I am, like many others of us are–for lack of a more graceful word– we are Bi-racial. Cross-racial is probably a slightly better, but still awkward term. That is, we are born twinned: one of each of two or more races is inside us. The blood of often opposing groups, runs in our cells, our bloodlines. Barack’s mother was Caucasian. His father was an African from Kenya.
People who are bi-racial are never without their twin. Never. Our twin is both ‘other’ and ‘I” at the same time. It’s a potentially tempestuous but also often transformative situation… if we give ourselves to working out its puzzle over our lifetimes.
Above is a painting by the master of brushwork and figurative art, Lucien Freud. It speaks to me and to many others who are bi-racial, because as you see in the two men on the bed, we are in “a relationship we cannot leave,” a lifelong relationship with our, often historically adversarial, bloodlines.
Cruise on over to TMV and read for awhile.
