Light was laughter

Hear a little song

“One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”

Kyle and I leave tomorrow for our beloved town of Guanajuato, Mexico where we will get to experience, for our first time, the world renowned music and art festival, Cervantino. To say we are excited would be a bit of an understatement. More to come about this adventure I’m sure…

Easy to Overlook

“Natural capital is easy to overlook because it is the pond we swim in. One can live perfectly well without ever giving a thought to the sulfur cycle or wetland functions. Only when the benefits nature provides are disrupted do we take notice.” — Paul Hawken

A Quiet Moment Just Doing Nothing

“When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing – just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?” — Ralph Marston

Idaho to Nashville

August 13, 2015 by Chris | 0 Comments

 

Kyle and I are ridiculously lucky that most of the time we are on this crazy artistic adventure side by side; in the art studio, in the van, at his shows, at my shows, hearing his rehearsals through the kitchen door.

But this week was different as we took on our own adventures

Almost immediately after our show in Sun Valley, Idaho Kyle flew, as if by slingshot, across the country to Nashville to record with our good friends Victor and Penny for their upcoming album. I stayed behind in the Wood River Valley for a few days of camping, biking and READING. While solo camping has given me ample time for reading (2 books in 4 days!) and I am super proud of the music they are recording, I am really ready for his return so we can continue this adventure together…Montana here we come!
