This box has my

I dig deep in its keep

I swirl dreams that seem

I dwell well in its hell

I face demons

and we talk

Shy Roads : Sohair Abdel Rahman
Mad about roads,
All types of
Roads
Straight, bending
And,
Shy
Roads
Shy roads are really, really,
Shy
That road in the back street of a bending road,
Is always closing his eyes
When lovers under old trees,
Kiss
Or whatever they do
And wish,
Shy roads whisper
They are so gentle and
Polite
They never speak loud
Today, before sunset
I will visit the shy road,
With my lover
And guess what
We will do naughty things
So to see the road closes his eyes)
For so long)
(But it is a joke. We are teasing the shy road)
Naughty things we intend to do
On roads that always go
Straight

What type of glue are we in our families and friendships ?
I know we've all wondered how we fit in , are we appreciated , or are we do too much/too little in these areas . Have you ever thought of what sets you apart from another member ? what makes you irreplaceable in those relationships ?
These are some of the questions i've asked myself and others , surprisingly enough , lot's of people don't have clear cut roles ,in their circles . This could be an easy way to become the under appreciated factor , Do make clear expectations on where you are in the relationship , what your expectations are for the future of your relationship. become more specific about what you bring to the circle and play to those strengths . Bring your true person to the table a little at a time , but do show who you truly are .
I pray this helps someone , as i believe in each one teach one .

At ~Cool Breezes~ We Appreciate Our ~Crew!~
~My Bio~ As told by Our Own don dean!
I have been in music since the age of 12 and expressing myself
in paint since before I could walk. I started as many do in the school
band learned to read and write music with the teaching of a truly
dedicated music teacher.
However once I left and started to express myself musically I soon
realized I needed to almost forget all I had learned.
I played first of all in other peoples bands in all the different
genres, so my musical background is varied. This reflects itself
in my sound and approach to my music today. My aim is to fuse
a sounds cape mixing soul jazz and rock with Latin/afro rhythms
using live and programmed drums and loops soulful vocals
and ambient sound samples a mixture of electro/acoustic instruments.
Eventually I formed my own bands but in truth I found it all to limiting.
To many compromises and if your a working gigging band to many
cover numbers. I wanted to form my own sound and style, so I worked
toward getting my own studio. Nothing grand just somewhere to create
in peace. You see there are no boundaries in music or in life only
those we allow others to force on us and only our own fears.
Now I produce write and play all the instruments on all my own material.
for me my art and my music are two sides of the same coin, a way to
express and converse with the viewer and listener.
For me all things are just a part of the whole with my music I mainly deal
with the human condition with my art I try and convey my feelings
about nature and the environment.
Hopefully in a colorful and joyful way.
