"A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something sperated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation, and a foundation for inner security..."

I have been working on my project for four years and it looks as if the butterflies are going to win big. This whole project was born out of music, so let me explain:

In June of 1993 I was feeling rather depressed about the state of the world. We had just come out of 12 years of Reagan and Bush doldrums, and I flet the ned for music to brighten my spirits. Every project I worked on was inspired by the music of the '60's, and yes, even the '70's. At that time I hadn't worked on aproject for 12 years. So one day I thought about bringing music back to my life. The next day I came home and the songs just began to pour out and I began making a new tape. It just mystically began to come together and two hours later I had my music and a new tape. I soon began feeling great again. The music was inspiring me. Two months later, I found myself ina butterfly garden with hundreds of brightly colored butterflies fluttering freely all about. It was like a scene right pout of Alice in Wonderland. When I got back in my car and and turned on the stereo, it all suddenly snapped together. It was always in the music, in the art, in the literature, in dance, and in our hearts. It was already out there in the universe, all this time, and the butterflies were to communicate that message to the world with peace, and love, and humility. To understand the whole story read the paper entitled Butterfly Magic and the Moody Blues. Hear this plea and soon we will all be standing around in wonderment with big grins on our faces and love just oozing out of our hearts and on to Mother Earth. It's been a long time coming, so let's seize the moment. Help let it be, let it be.
