...think open, think down, listen to the music

Our collective intentions are working! We have rec'd prayers from across the world -the Maasai in Tanzania, friends across the US, and family from in our hearts.

PLEASE keep thinking about all things that OPEN... Also, please also think about all that is DOWN. Open and Down, all. Open your emails, open your mind, open your hearts, down the hatch, get down on the dance floor, whatever it is, knowing that all of you are thinking those two simple intentions is a tremendous show of support.

Heather is resting again, and I'm playing a mellow mix of songs that she put together on her ipod, called, 'Ben-Mellow'... the other mix is for post delivery celebration, 'Ben-Jammin'...

I sat next to her for almost an hour while she was in and out, listening softly to our favorites, 'Into The Mystic', bring us Van Morrison brought us to tears singing, '...and together we'll float into the mystic, c'mon Girl', and Government Mule's, 'Soulshine', which is 'our song' from our wedding, Seager's 'You'll Accomp'ny Me', Marley's 'Redemption Song' and others. 'Behind Blue Eyes' came on and I had this intense wave hearing Daltry sing, 'No one knows what it's like, to feel those feelings... Like I do"... and it's coming all back to me while Heather sleeps behind me and here we are waiting still for our baby...

We are close but we are still far; our sad is so beautiful and glad, and we're so alone together but we know how much you all care and your intentions are with us, they are so rich and strong and I can say that we have the best family and friends in the world. we have the best family and friends in the world.

Don't go to bed without thinking about those you love most; do go to bed thinking about that which is open and things needing to go down, and listen the words of the songs that make you cry and
