Open the Gate, the shining debut from Sense of Wonder, will send you scrambling for your favorite high-fidelity, googlephonic headphones. It has that mystical, transporting quality that begs you to close your eyes — picturing blue skies, mossy riverbanks, and sun-dappled skin...
Through this "Gate" you’ll find a beautiful winding path. A smile is there to guide you, sweet harmony on the breeze, and a witch in the shadows — a fairytale landscape promising laughter, wisdom, and spiritual cleansing.
Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...
Love can drive... in a simple way... everything
We are connected

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimada/o Sense of Wonder,
cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...
Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes...
El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...

Dino-dino-dinosaur. Over and over and over and over. Eliza asks for it by stamping her feet or pounding her hands on the ground, which is what we do to rock the ground like dinosaurs. She also roars at the end of each chorus. Pretty cute the first 50 times or so. After that...
Guess what? It's Rick's Birthday today! Happy Birthday, Rick. Wow, you're all growed up! May your wildest dreams come true. I guess that would mean a move to Centreville. Loves ya, Lori Kelley
