Cause I can, and I will... make a difference.
Last week, I was presented with the opportunity to take part in a ‘Think Tank’ discussion in New Orleans. The topic at hand being one of the most horrific environmental disasters of all time, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Going to New Orleans means the chance of gathering with other activists, environmentalists and scientists to discuss the harsh reprecussions of offshore drilling,...

“People who are in love hold hands, people who want to change the world join hands” -Dave Rauschkolb, Creater of Hands Across the Sand
English Anyone?
If you can correctly pronounce every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world. After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud. Try them yourself.
Dearest creature in creation, Dearest creature in creation, Study English pronunciation.

Happy International Surfing Fathers Day!
This Paul Simon song always reminded me of my Dad. Even though its a fathers take on his relationship with his daughter, something about it always warmed me and made me smile. I make up that if my Dad wrote a song for us, it would sound something like “Father and Daughter”.
Dear Dad, I wouldnt be the strong, successful, soulful, responsible, loved filled surfer chick that I am...
I am personally experiencing the benefits of energy healing, community prayer, and personal faith. Just over two weeks ago I broke my arm to discover that my excellent health insurance (remnant from a soon to be defunct marriage) had lapsed two months early. At that time a hand & arm orthopedic surgeon told me we would try a wait and see option due to my current lack of insurance and...

Today, I took myself on a little field trip to Los Angeles, Ca.
The purpose of my trip: To learn a little bit more about the cosmic, mystical, mysteriousness that is my voice.
I haven’t toured in over a year, maybe more? Has it really been almost 2 years now since I toured with G. Love and the John Butler Trio? Holy cow.
That was a great tour by the way. That was my first tour in a tour...
Some Kiss We Want
There is some kiss we want with our whole lives, the touch of Spirit on the body.
Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell.
And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild Darling!
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face into mine. Breathe into me.
Close the language-door, and open the love-window.
The moon won’t use the door, only the window.

soothingbreeze asked: Hi Tristan !
I was wondering -- how many hours a day do you play the guitar ? Do you have a schedule or just play when you feel like it ? What is your music writing routine ?
And something less musical: do you like getting professional manicures/pedicures ? or just do it your self.
Thanks and good vibes all around!

do you ever feel like you cant get anything done? like the to-do list is growing, no matter how many times you keep checking it off.
like you cant change the water in the flower vase fast enough? or clean the dishes in the sink soon enough? like you go to bed late? and wake up late? and there is never enough time in the day? the bananas are going bad? and you almost forgot that your car...
thesoulisnotasmithy asked: after noticing your post about no wheat or soy in your diet i became interested. if it's not too much trouble, do you mind posting a blog with some nutty nutrition knowledge (excuse the awful alliteration) that you could share with the rest of us. not to persuade, but to educate. much love from a boy in canada.
jdvcj asked: I am obsessed with your music. I listen to the twentythree album DAILY. What other artists/songs might I like that you could recommend?
