CURRENT MISSION

Music: No Strings Attached!

ABOUT ME

Ciao! I'm Temple an American Cantoutore Living in Prague. There's only so much one can write... but i like to write ;) now please, read on my brothers and sister...

Life, Love, Lust, Longing... The Hopless Romantic sighs, Avanti! To the night we dance circles of creation, falling blindly against the helm, dash rancid your humble whim, You are free, I am free, Let's make a Rainbow ;)

Music is Life: The true expression of soul, power found in lyrics, melodies to touch your heart. We all have talent, the key is to find ones passion creativly and explore it! Let us deliver a status of Real Vibrations: expressions of creativity and an embrace of the artistic soul!

Then there is the optimistic perspective. If we just trust in the natural flow of things they may just work out, aye? If we are all true to ourselves, our light will come shining through!

Organic Living, the best living there is to be had! Isolated in the Woods or on top of a Mountain Just Real, Raw Life. In city's we're surrounded by oppressive concrete structures, walls of rock and iron, Keeping that inner nomad of man caged within its bodily confines. This pushes the soul down, your creative light bangs, booms, breaks against the walls, you ask "Why do they push me down? why am i so oppressed?" ... Then you drink ;) Ahh, but this is fun is it not!? There's a beautiful Creative flow that comes from this sorrowful city society that fills me with bliss, I do love the melancholy...

However!

There's nothing like leaving society behind and enthralling yourself fully into natures warm embrace! I believe the best exchange of human nature comes through the communal atmosphere. When we all work as one, we all become one and create a family.

I love working outdoors. I especially enjoy carpentry, Natural Building, landscaping, and gardening; working with the earth is such a grounding exercise that brings us closer to Pacha Mama. I've always enjoyed cooking and i always like to try new things, especially food. I Love exotic cuisine, If it looks strange and i have no clue how to pronounce it I'm about 5 times as likely to eat it ;)

I Love getting down and dirty with nature. It seems in our modern industrial society we have become cut off from our true human, animalistic roots. I believe humans were meant to move, we need to feel the freedom of crisp clean air, the comfort of overgrown foliage, the insecurity of wilderness so we can truly LIVE! When we embrace the unknown and face our fears we know what it means to just be.

Ah, Travel, My love, Man wasn't born to follow, but to be a Vagabond of this ever expanding earth. When I am abroad blowing in the wind, going where the natural flow takes me, I don't believe in destinations or vacations, I believe in Journeys and Adventures.

There is an energy that surrounds us all, forces beyond our control. In this long journey of life I've taken many twists and turns, all beautiful mistakes that the heart hath make. They say you are what you eat and I wish to be close to my mother earth, I am a Flexitarian: I'm a major Vege' but I'm "Flexible" ;)

Music Please, Never without the guitar. I love performing for others and jamming out together. When I am surrounded by other musicians and we jam together there is this trance that is created, a flow that you bounce off of, this trance brings us closer as human beings and that's what makes sharing of music together is a truly bonding experience. What I've learned from the road is all i need is my guitar and voice and I'll be O.K., the possibilities are endless...
