The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Time passed.
More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.
A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

You can find my music on Jango (World & latin - Worldbeat) and at iTunes and most online stores.

It's a bird, it's a plane..

It's a bird.  This is how I normally see these babies, buzzards, I think, riding the thermals and making me wish I could do the same.
However, as I was watching that guy up there, I noticed two of its kin in the trees right next to me.
They were quite large and eyed me warily.
Nice to see them up close and personal, well, not too personal.  I did mention that they were quite large.  Impressively so.

Birds of Prey/Claude Mckay

Their shadow dims the sunshine of our day,
As they go lumbering across the sky,
Squawking in joy of feeling safe on high,
Beating their heavy wings of owlish gray...
