If you are in the New York area, go support this local amazing artist opening for a National touring artist. ♥️ Rorie Kelly

*PLEASE SUPPORT THIS SHOW* Hi beautiful humans, on January 17th I have a show at Babylon Citizens Council on the Arts - bacca where I will be opening for national touring act Chris Trapper (whose songs you have heard on tv shows and in movies). This is a very special show for me at a very special stage and it would absolutely mean the world to me if you could come and support.

It's always wonderful to get to perform, but when indies like me get an opportunity to open for a bigger act, it helps us grow. This stage is also a very special listening space that is way more intimate and special than hearing me at a random bar on Friday night.

Buying your tickets in advance makes a HUGE HUGE DIFFERENCE. Can I ask you to please get your tickets NOW instead of at the door? Here's a link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/chris-trapper-in-concert-tickets-1058176577629

Oh look I’m on here :) thank you Thunder on the Plains ♥️

she doesn’t need a knight
to save her
she needs a wild-vine
castle lost to civilization
and a forest full of
creature folk who know
her secrets and share
their own

she needs a library with
red velvet couches
and lanterns lit by fireflies
stories older than time
that taste like myth
and smell of danger
and lost lullabys

she doesn’t need a golden boy
to defend her honor
or a chariot to carry her away
she needs a night blooming
garden with forgotten-name flowers
and herbs that still
remember the moon’s first name

she needs an untamed labyrinth
with a hidden door in its center
leading to lost passages
of poems and candlelight
she needs a window seat
next to twilight
where she can read
and write and muse
and watch the storm giants
stalk the glimmer glass hills

she doesn’t need your
rescue or salvation
she needs an ancient sword collection
a passport for soul travel
a hip flask full of whisky and wonder
thigh high boots, unlimited wifi,
the coffee stained pages
of her own fairy tale
and a pet dragon
named Always.

“I pray for courage to mourn so that I may be strengthened. There is much to mourn . . .
I mourn for the loss of dreams and the presence of nightmare. Until I can mourn the loss of a dream I cannot be comforted enough to have vision for a fresh one."

~ Madeleine L’Engle, from The Irrational Season

Happy Solstice ☀️ ❄️ 🕯

My Garden full of Roses. 20 and counting. Some blooming. Some Ending. And music. Some written. Some only small whispers. Creating Roses. Creating Music. Both require tender care. Time. Patience. They both come in flushes. They both go dormant for a season.
