This show looks like it would have been a fun one to attend. I would have had camera/lens envy big time.

Fine Wine Maker

Darioush Winery, founded in 1997, is located on the Silverado Trail in Napa Valley in northern California. Completed in 2004, the palace-like winery projects an image of Persepolis, an ancient town in Iran, attracting particular attention on the Silverado Trail. Over the past 30 years Khaledi's passion for fine wine transformed him from collector to producer, and Darioush is the culmination of his worldwide search for the ultimate vineyard estate.

Between

This just leveled me....weeping like a little girl.
someplace between, this is where i see you. me. me (you) trying to find my (your) way. lost (at times) as the rain drums upon the roof. choosing (at times). i must seek the truth. so much energy pushed toward the spiral dance of figuring it (you) out. i fear i am parched from the seeking. then the truth whips through me again, tugging until i pay attention. it is not the seeking but the spinning. it is the fear of losing grip on the handle of all that i know. all that i (think i) know. the spinning pushes me away from myself (you). i am pushed toward all that i already know. someplace between (the knowing and the spinning), this is where i am.

"Who am I"?



Lead with your Weakness” and things shifted

Are there "Who am I to..." sentences holding you back?

Joshua Radin "No Envy No Fear" live at Paste



some are reaching few are there
wandering from a heros chair
some are scared to fly so high
well this is how we have to try

have no envy and no fear
have no envy
no fear

brother brother we all see
your hiding out so painfully
see yourself come out to play
a lovers rain will wash away

your envy and your fear
so have no envy
no fear

when your sister turns to leave
only when shes most in need

take away the cause of pain
by showing we're all the same
have no envy
no fear
have no envy
and no fear

every day we try to find
we search our hearts and our minds
the place we used to call our home
cant be found when were alone

so have no envy
no fear
have no envy
no fear
