16Hello Wildflowers!
.
.
Guess what? I took a bold step in the direction of my dreams this morning, while lighting a yellow candle and sipping sweet Brooklyn air. AKA: IndieGogo Campain to fund Shira E’s new album & send Shira E on tour is launched!
.
.
The album is done, & it shines. “Shouts & Sparks” is 7 bold tracks from the ocean floor of my chest to the tippy-rooftop of my imaginings. It is experimental & gentle with its raw.
.
.
I have no label. I need your help to get “Shouts & Sparks” printed & produced. I need your push to send me on my first solo cross-country tour (2 months from East to West & back. Check out that badass map!) to promote this music. I want to reach you, to sing to you in your living room as well as the ballrooms, in every city you desire. This tour is a step into the life I dream of, a life as a touring artist; it’s a commitment to push myself further than I’ve ever gone before.
.
.
Beautiful community, check out the campaign, & if you feel the spirit, please share on your tumblr/twitter/facebook/etc! You move my mountains!
.

Love,
Shira E

25To be alive in the air that held Frida. To be alive in the air that held Baldwin. To be alive in the air that held my grandmother Bea. To be alive in the air that held Saba Getzel. To be alive in the air that held Buddha. To be alive in the air that held Szymborska. To see the moon Jesus saw. To say the word moon in two languages. To have a name and be called by voices I cherish.

Ode to Today
Crumble is a good,
a solitude. Little
moon speaking in tongues,
do your thing, tunnel toward
trust. Let it be simple.
Unclutch. If sorrow comes
building a stink, breathe in
the skunk. There are worms
in the cake. True. Still.
Everyone you touch
is a life loved passing.
Dust on a mission.
Bridges yearning for the sea.

the answer will come out of it,
because the answer is not separate from the problem.
