Words from Essra:
9/18/07
The times continue to change like the seasons...gradual at first and then suddenly we've shifted into another reality! The 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love draws to a close and a new year begins! Back from SF and on my way to Philly with my new retrospective CD, "REVELATIONS of the SECRET DIVA". 30 years of my best unreleased recordings! (playing Tin Angel 9/22/07) More details when I get back to Nashville...I've had no time to blog but that's about to change...
3/30/07
Here we are in the fresh new spring of 2007 and the desire for peace continues to grow and be expressed by more and more people around the globe! In spite of the continuing violence, I am more hopeful than ever for an emerging world peace.
written at end of summer '06:
Summer is about to fall and as the seasons change, it feels like the atmosphere around the world is beginning to change from war to peace. I am greatly encouraged by the cease fire that's been lasting for days now in Israel and Lebanon. Both countries are dear to my heart and it hurt deeply to see innocent casualties from both of these special countries. Here in Nashville many of us united in prayer for peace as I suspect people did all around the world and that unity of purpose and prayer is having a wonderful effect! Let's keep it up!
BTW, Michaela Majoun of WXPN fm (Phila.) is playing "Little Wars" in honor of the cease fire! Thank you Michaela!!
meanwhile, my NEW CD is now out on MummyPump Records!! Hope you'll give it a listen! Love IS STILL the Answer! PEACE and Love, essra
