Like a Small Miracle 🌞

An interesting foreign couple asked me for directions in Stanley Park the other day, and I was quite drawn to speak with them. The woman was from Switzerland, her husband Oman told me his wife was really into trees because of a book she was reading. Ah – A soulmate! She told me that this book was only available in German, and it describes how trees communicate through their roots! For example: there are some trees in Africa that can secrete a toxic substance to turn off giraffe’s that are coming to eat them. Not only that, trees at a distance will warn other trees that the giraffes are coming! When I find out when this book will be translated I’ll let you know. The French are going to make it into a movie. For me, I think of my beautiful family and how we help each other and how similar we are to a group of trees. Screen Shot 2016-03-17 at 10.55.15 AM.png

You’re invited to a delightful intimate performance I am involved with. This will be the world premiere of Haiku Mime, a whimsical physical interpretation of haiku poetry submitted from around the world. Weaving text read by yours truly around the expressive movements of Yayoi Hirano, I simply love the quick interplay we are able to discover as we illuminate these modern haiku poems together. Please join us and be a part of the blossoming of this novel cultural collaboration.

March 24th, 2016; 12:30pm-1:00pm at the courtyard above Burrard Skytrain Station.

Sylvia Hotel Feb 3 (8pm-10pm)

SHAW Greetings Again Sonic Adventurers… how are you.
Here is a glimpse of our new tunes Lovers Arms , Brave Waking and Love is a Traveller as well as a fun interview on Sound Arts Therapy TV.

Do comment on the videos, if you can, leave a little shim sham here and there, it really helps stimulate the great algorithym in the sky. Yes indeed.
Thirty seven days to go on our Indiegogo Campaign which will help fund the creation of our new album. We’re building our “gogofactor” every way we can. I didn’t even know what a “gogo factor” was, until last week! It’s the zimzam mojo activity that the internet thrives on. Warm thanks to everyone who has already made a purchase. Did you know even if you buy a small perk ($1, $3, or $5) for digital downloads of the new music, you’ll still be making a positive impact on our “gogo factor?” Isn’t that cool?

SHAW2 You’re all invited to come see Kristian Alexandrov and me, plus special guests, at the Sylvia Hotel, Feb 3. 8-10. Right there on English bay, all covered in ivy. It’s very nice there at the Sylvia…a room with a view.
Otherwise, I’m still concussed, fell off my Mother’s bed while clipping her toenails, and am laying pretty low, roots deep down in the ground. See you at the Sylvia! Peace to All. Holly 🙂
