about

GROWING IN THE DARK

We all come out of the darkness into a world of light where we continue to grow while we still carry the darkness within. This darkness within is the darkness of not knowing. As we continue to grow, every now and then we are enlightened - we learn something through experience – through the experience of what happens within us or outside of us. And these moments, like a painting by numbers, reveal our totality, our yes and our no, one moment at a time and eventually (event by event) reveal a clear vision of what really is - a moment of darkness becoming
a moment of light…

about

DemEyes New York, New York

I’m a poet, writer, musician, artist and teacher.

I began playing music in 1975 and was a part of the New Wave/Punk Scene in NYC, fronting two bands (The N.DoDo Band and Didus and the Fabulous Mascarenes).

We played all the major clubs (CBGB’s, Max’x Kansas City etc). Since then I have had many band incarnations (The Art of the Middle Ages, The Young Phogies, and presently anDna). ... more
