Hello Everyone.

HIGH MOUNTAIN PASS
I watched the donkey train slowly wend it's way down the mountain trails to the valley and turned away to do other work. Two days later news came of a early vernal festival just beyond the first mountain. Apparently Maybelline, the SHEEBA donkey, became engrossed in a wild version of Midsummer Night's Dream and incited the rest of the train to throwing the Valentines sale packages at the stage. Please let us know if your order is not completely perfect.

PUCK
Meanwhile, I recall my first acting role. It was Puck in the aforementioned play. Apparently, I was a big hit and for the rest of my time at camp the youngest tribe followed me everywhere. The lesson: falling offstage in the middle of a monologue can far outshine any talent one might have. Another lesson: people love to laugh (I didn't hurt myself).

THAT CERTAIN BIRD
This morning I awoke at 6 and found myself walking out the door at 6:03 not knowing where I was going. Rode and rode and rode, awash in Spring bird songs. Cherry blossoms only slightly lighter than the grey. Then around the corner and there was Dawn. Forgotten with the enclose of Winter. Hello!

DEBTS
As the Spring Equinox nears around March 20, I would ask that if anyone feels anything is outstanding from me or SHEEBA, let me know. I would like to complete all circles and can't always remember.

I AM FINALLY CLOSING SHEEBA
It will have been 9 years on May 17, 2005. It has been a very special time of learning and struggle and sometimes deep satisfaction. I wanted freedom and it has come in a different fashion than I expected. Now as I let go of more and more things, not always knowing why I have to and resisting it, I see the signs of a greater hand at work. I am sure you know what I mean. 

WHAT THIS MEANS
o Website will stay open
o Webstore will be closed - we may have MP3s for sale later as they do not require inventory or staff, but we'll see.
o I am disconnecting the SHEEBA phone and email by the equinox. There will only be links to my manager, Kim Blake, for work or licensing, or the web-master for problems. I may still send out the odd Museletter. I feel you nodding - okay perhaps odd but hopefully charming.

USE VILLAGE GREEN FOR QUESTIONS
o This will be the main place to get information from the community that you can't get elsewhere on the website.
o 3 new topics will be added:
	1/ SIMPLE - tips for living higher quality life
	2/ KNAPSACK - the least you could travel with
	3/ PURE - submit quotes from elders - life advice for teenagers
	4/ DONKEYS AT THE WELL - guess

PATRONS
We no longer have the pay-per-studio hour programme but any 'Angels' interested in higher levels of support can contact my manager, Kim Blake. [email protected]. Past patrons: your contributions are still untouched, to be used only when I start the final recordings.
	
EQUAL PARTS LIGHT AND DARK
I have loved the direct contact with you all and that is one thing I will miss the most. The team that I am working with is the best ever and though I will continue on with my lawyer, manager and accountant, I will also miss the office staff. There has been great and greatly needed. I think you are the greatest fans (pardon the word, I mean it in the best sense) and sometimes think what other artists miss without direct contact with such intelligent, interesting, FUNNY people.

TO ALL DONKEYS
No, I do not believe Equinox is referring to 'equine' but that is an interesting observation on your part. Perhaps equines are equal parts something.

LAMBS BEING RECALLED
I was away from the office when LAMBS were sent out so they weren't signed. I expect you ordered them mainly for this. So, you can either send them back and I'll sign them and include a 'teenager' cassette for your postage, or I can send a little note with a ribbon to tie around the next. PLEASE let me know. It is no trouble.

ANOTHER VALLEY
When I turned away from the donkey train that was taking you your Valentines day parcels, I noticed a light coming from the other side of the mountain. I will take my knapsack and, once I have left a cup in the sink to signify that I am coming back, I shall take my leave. I have my drawing compass, though perhaps I don't need it. I could just use string and a stick. Or lose the string, just use strands of hair. Then I need nothing.

I wish you all abundance and strength to reflect your greatest beauty in these times.  Anchoring the light, us all.
