Tina Micula was the last act for One Love 2009, and she didn't disappoint. Here's her first song.
Poet Eddie Dowe was the last poet at the One Love Festival 2009, Hampton Roads and read a poem that his son and another kid, and embellished by himself, wrote. Very cool.

Avanha, one of Hampton Roads' finest dancers and instructors, dances the story of how our elder women should really live, foot loose and fancy free, buoyed up by the incredible lightness of Being and the magic of Love and Light.
It's time to honor our senior women and surround them with the energy of Eternal Delight.
Avanha is dancing to Feels like Fire by Dido and Santana.
From my sidebar:
Avanha, one of Hampton Roads' finest dancers and instructors, portrays through her art the real story of all too many elderly women today, arthritic, pain-ridden, rejected and alone, laughed at, pitied with an undertone of contempt, or scorned by a world that abandons them when it is not abusing them.
Avanha dances to Seasons of Wither by Aerosmith

Awakened by violence in the world, we, of diverse backgrounds, religions, races, and cultures, see the need for more peace, tolerance, and understanding. We put our hands and hearts together through music, art, performance, and the spoken word. We seek common ground... a community united in hope, a planet restored and a peaceful world where every day will be One Love.

After Nathan Richardson came Sharon Silverstein with her two accompanists to do a set of three high spiritual-energy songs, the first actually a Sanskrit Yoga chant that means "Lead us from the unreal to the Real, from the darkness to the Light, from the fear of death to the knowledge of Imortality."

It was a great evening, full of music, poetry and dance. After the Walidanes came Nathan Richardson, well-known poet in Hampton Roads and beyond. He read three poems, but I only shot this one because at that point I thought I might run out of memory on my camera, but later I discovered I had more. But this poem helps set up Sharon Silverstein later on.

Narissa's 2nd Song, and I'm still apologizing for bleached out effects from spotlights. I don't have the editing tools to change lighting.
Narissa Bond was up after Tim Seibles, terrific song. I can't do anything about the light though. The spotlights were glaring and bleached her out.

Earthdance 2009, the latest annual celebration and invocation of global peace through a myriad of dance-based events, took place on September 26 and there was a strong contingent of performers at the Hampton Roads, Virginia celebration of Earthdance from the early afternoon on until late in the evening at Hunt Club Farm in Virginia Beach. As dusk approached, everyone joined together for first a huge drum circle and then a beautiful global prayer for peace in candlelight, everyone's hands joined in the circle.
The highlight of the evening after the drum circle and world peace prayer was also the last dance performance, firedancers, five individuals who can play with fire in the dark to a good drum beat. Here is the first one, Nagwa, who also put on the longest performance. She was awesome!
Eliminating Pluto's "planet" status was as much a psychological reaction to the astrological function of Pluto as anything else if you accept the validity of astrology. Pluto is the Institutional Grim Reader, so this was an effort at repression I believe, futile of course, an attempt to escape the inevitable, that, for the next fifteen or so years, Pluto's cosmic energy is going to wreck havoc on degenerate, obsolete institutions on a global level. THE REPRESSED ALWAYS RETURNS!
Pluto’s entrance into the sign of Capricorn marks a culminating point of great historical significance as a yet another chapter of our collective experience winds to a close. As we witness the waning hour from this particular vantage point along the time-line, the necessities of an emerging new reality are becoming progressively more evident.
In astrological terms, Pluto represents the cyclical regenerative process, and as such correlates to the theory of reincarnation. Evolutionary Astrology looks to Pluto to provide perspective on the nature of the soul’s evolving needs and desires.
Pluto’s transit through a particular sign, a cycle that spans twelve to eighteen years, describes the signature rights of passage of a generation, and also describes the advancing journeys of both the individual and the collective soul. When Pluto is activated by contact with other planetary energies, or by sign or directional changes, it quickens the evolutionary pace of the soul’s desires and needs, at the individual, interpersonal, and collective levels. Whether Pluto’s transformative process is experienced as a steady and natural progression or as a cataclysmic experience will depend on the degree of resistance generated at any given point along the timeline. Resistance ignites friction; friction increases the degree of polarization and intensifies the building momentum. Repetition occurring through the action and corresponding response mechanism creates more links in the chain of experience. Eventually, the energy of this repeating process reaches a saturation extreme. It is at this crisis or turning point in the cycle that polarized resistance exhausts itself, giving way to an evolutionary leap of significance.
