Song by Pat Pat. A Strong oak held my apple, even though apples are not an oaks harvest. Clay pots and mud houses were my summers end and every year my new beginning. We made magic apple sauce with a pinch of cinnamon but I know there was real magic in it. I relish the moments when im able to speak a tribe back into history and the history is mine. Waking up to hundreds of Pink Cactus fruit. To make only one piture of juice. And collecting webs of white dry cactus sap and nectar. I...

Happy Birthday My beautiful sister. The sun is shining bright and there is a crisp chill in the air. Your day starts the season for me. There is no sadness.

For always instilling in us to celebrate life, the holidays and all of our amazing blessings of this life. I see now that God´s plan all along for was for you to...

I miss you! I still talk about you in my classes. You were truly an inspiration to me. See you in heaven!

I've written a few songs about Mom since she passed, a couple of short ones after she first died. They weren't very good, but they were from the deepest crevices in my heart. In some ways, she has never left me, dreams now and again are one thing, next is the uncanny appearance of 222 in different forms, related to the moment she died at 2:22am, with all of us there. It was amazing to have every one of us there. For instance, the studio where I record is at 2211 24th street, Phoenix. In...

My precious Sister Maria, I don't post here much but I just want to say ... I miss you. I miss so many things about you, your laugh, your sense of humor, the way you didn't hold back what you felt, you told it like it was! I miss your loving, caring heart. I miss hearing your voice and I can still hear it when you'd call me on the phone. I just miss you! Love forever, your Sister Marsha Marie (aka twinkle toes) ps. Thanks for everything! Xoxo!

Time to wait, time to heal, time for change, time to go, time, time, time. It comes, it goes and it then it leaves. All the while we are waiting for time to... The time of 13 years passed does not feel real in anyway, shape or form Maybe because to all of us you are still very much present in our hearts and daily lives. Your visits to us bring peace and comfort when we need it most. Still the need to sit and write to you here and put our thoughts and words down is absolutely necessary...
