If you haven’t checked it out already, “port Landers” has been completely remastered (by Chris Vita at Vita Mastering), got some sick artwork (see Michael Robinson), and just made its way to Amazon and iTunes.

Give a lonely album some reviews:

As we pass through the closing of an era, the great cycle that is switching over in our lifetime, we are all being asked to ‘clean out our closets’ as it were, to heal the trauma of our past. The opportunity to heal the wounds of old comes to each of us in a unique and special way. For myself, the recent double bicycle accident and broken arm, albeit horrible, opened up a door way to a deeper healing within my self and my ancestry. My broken arm revealed a broken lineage. Through my inner work I came to realize how trauma is passed like a batton from generation to generation. Where does it begin? Who is there to blame? Placing blame is a diversion, and the real healing comes from taking a stand, recognizing the lineage of trauma, and in so doing, ending it – laying the batton down and proclaiming, “It ends with me.” The healing of one’s own wounds heals a lineage of endless beings, frees us all of the pain of our karma, and cleans the stage on which we stand as we currently pass through this cosmic portal of opportunity.

The video below is a beautiful example of one individual’s experience healing a lineage of trauma. I would imagine many of us are finding ourselves in situations or predicaments that hold a kernel (perhaps initially unseen as in my bicycle accident) for healing the wounds of our soul. Now is the time to take the leap. Now is the time to Love. Follow that intuitive inner voice that might be calling you down an avenue of introspection. By simply holding the intention to heal the rest will likely take care of itself. You bring to the table your will.
