KELLY SWEET

Join us in the rise from the ashes of paradise.

We'll be WALKING ON MARS in 2012.

Loss

Lost my mom in December as you know… Now I am about to lose my dad, less than six months later. Why, life, WHY?

Thank you for your continued faith in the music, one day you will hear it, i promise. No release date for the US yet, but we are hoping for one for Japan soon.

Sand slipping fast through hands
Hands that heavy and always have held onto me
Time, time has told its joke
But nobody’s laughing and moments are passing with greed

I always knew these moments would come as they do for all of us at some point. But I never thought I would lose both parents at so close to the same time. It is a lot to take on.

This is my journey, I suppose. It will make me a warrior. My mom always told me Kelly meant “warrior”. I guess it is time to live up to my name.

Another point of view.

Look up at the ceilings

Where the ceilings are not ceilings

Where the ceilings are now floors

In some one else’s world.

Listen to the silence

But the silence is not silence

Air is moving, hearts are beating

In the silence, there is more.

Look up at your lover

For the light within his eyes

For to you he is your laughter

But some one else he has made cry.

Look down into you

Into the depths inside yourself

Hear the music, hear the silence

There is more than skin and bones

You are even more than just a ghost

You are me and I am you

You are ALL

And ALL is you.

Know for a certainty that when you leave this earth, you will be again with all those who have held a place in your heart and have gone before. And do not worry about those you leave behind, for you will see them, too, again and again, and love them, too, again and again, through all eternity, and even in the present moment. For there can be no separation where there is love, and no waiting where there is only Now.
— from Home With God by Neale Donald Walsch
Yesterday, we celebrated the life of my mom, we shared our favorite moments, enjoyed her last works of art, and released notes to her on balloons into the sky. She left her body but lives forever! We love you always Mom. View high resolution

Ashes of My Paradise

Posted “Ashes of My Paradise” on my Soundcloud!

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
— Kahlil Gibran, from “The Prophet”
My beautiful mom, Candace Sweet passed on to the next great adventure around 10:18pm, last night, December 16th, 2011. At this moment, she said to say to all she loved “See you soon.” She will be remembered by all of us as the brightest light in the universe, a pure expression of creativity, and a free spirit, no longer caged by her body. We know in our hearts, she is already running free in the wildflowers, on the top of the highest mountain in Colorado. I love love love love you Mommy. More than all the stars in the sky, more than all the trees in the world, more than space and time could ever hold. View high resolution
