Water spirit feelin'
Springin' round my head
Makes me feel glad
That I'm not dead
Jim Pepper (Creek and Kaw Nations), was a jazz saxophonist who brought us a blend of jazz with Native American music. i've always loved this song, and tonight it came to visit me once again. Found a clip of him performing it to share with all of you. It's to the point, eh? "... glad that I'm not dead." Ironic song for me personally; I knew that he had died relatively young - age 50, but never knew until tonight it was from something I know well - lymphoma. Thank you for reaching out to me Jim; I hope to carry the gladness forward.

Water spirit feelin'

Hey Heather,
Welcome! Some of the stuff here you've seen - or some version of it as I've worked it out over time in the forum or in one place or another before appearing here.
Glad you wandered through here. This is where I can truly let my unedited self fly without repercussion! (know what I mean?!)
Always good to see you around also.
oh - and I should introduce you to one of my 'other personas' - el poquito. He writes, makes general mischief and fancies himself an embedded journalist in the world or mortals--
nice to see you again Heather,
el poquito / -e
