    Gender: Male

    Height: 6'1"
    Religion: Jedi
    About Me: First off, if you'd like to friend me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/TommyGleason
    I've been Crafting færies (and other flying things) all my life. Designing/building my own wings from scratch and living my childhood dreams one meter (or a thousand) up.
    Originally from inbetween the Monterey/San Francisco Bay Areas, I now live in Rough & Ready, California.
    Music: Loreena McKinnett my fave overall. Love lots of others too. "Imagine" has always been my favorite song. "What a Wonderful World" (Louis!) my favorite song of hope. My favorite album: "Moodfood" by Moodswings. Upon hearing this album, it immediately knocked all my top "10s" into #8 spots. I've also been haunted (since a kid) by certain songs... Judy Collins "Farewell to Tarwathie;" Tower of Power's "Sparkling in the Sand;" The Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin;" 10CC's "I'm not in Love;" The Split Enz' "Message to My Girl;" and John Lennon's "Mind Games."

    Movies: "Star Wars" and "The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao" immediately come to mind... Lots of others too. Always loved the Sinbad movies featuring Ray Harryhausen's special effects while I was growing up.
    A recent movie I liked: "Avatar." I loved the echo between the Na'vi and Native American's beliefs. I see the same "Gaia" principle here, the only difference being that while that rock might not look alive to us, it's still an element, part of a synapse so to say, in the Universe's limitless time line. I think this makes sense in that I feel it's ridiculous to assume that "we Humans" are the top life form in a Universe so limitless in matter and awareness. The angels are out there... They belong to Mother Nature though, not religion.
    TV: I often wonder why folks put down TV, saying "I don't like THAAT." Well heck, do you dislike bookstore too? Sure, there may be bad trashy books in there, but it doesn't mean you can't find good books as well. TV's the same way. There's plenty of trash, plenty of good stuff! :^) (And folks have no problem listing fave movies...) Anyways, a few of my faves:
    PBS: Frontline

    Fun: The Chaser's War on Everything
    Fantasy: Merlin
    Books: "Books are Lighthouses erected in the Sea of Time" - Edwin P Whipple
    David Eddings: "The Belgariad" and "The Mallorium." Love this guys subtle (and realistic) plugs on religion/politics too.
    My favorite spiritual book was by two of my absolute favorite people: Bill Moyers interviewing Joseph Campbell in "The Power of Myth."
    Likes: Light. Flight. Drawing Celtic wings for my færies. The rain-harp I made, when rain plinks endless little musical notes upon it. The crystals I've hung all about in the trees outside my window, casting a rainbow of rainbows dancing upon my walls.
    Dislikes: I wish folks were more independent of religions. I see pride trapping them into not admitting the horrors in their worship books, and then they try to force the rest of us to abide by their ways.
    Hobbies: Photoshop, photography, astronomy, geology, history, anthropology (both), linguistics, sewing kites, and gardening all fall in here, but making kids feel treasured beats all of the above.
    Vices: Pretending it's too cold / hot outside to go for my bike ride, i.e., Lazy. (Bad Tommy!)
    Virtues: Freethought. Critical thinking, because honest truth comes from valid reasoning.
    Heroes: Superman. Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Paine. Bill Moyers. Eddie Lama. Sarah McLachlan.
    Prince Orchar, for his gentle wisdom and generous love for all... May he live on through our love for him. :^)

    Hey these are the latest, and as it turns out we've got many parts of the world represented here...

       
    Here's Priscilla (Catalonia) who's picture was taken by Sebastia Pagarolas (Catalonia), Lindsey Goodbun (Angleterre), and Kyoko Baertsoen (Belgium).
    Here's Erika Carrijo (Brasil).
     
    Here's Maitrayee (India) and her daughter Arna, who's just learning how to fly. Next is a pic I just took of some Sandhill Cranes flying North.
    Here the cranes circle in a thermal to gain height. That's a coincidental formation. I guess they love thermals!
    (Can you spot the hawk in there too?)

    Oh, Tommy! How perfectly exquisite! Thank you always for these treasures. Thanks also for the message, but I've been unable to open my inbox :( Sorry! I will respond to you properly, I promise :)

    Lots of love,

    All Beautiful!! I really like that new one of Priscilla playing the instrument (She's not able to come to FaerieWorlds this year...sniff, sniff....)
    And I love the crane pictures, especially the heart shaped one!

    Sarah we have so many (truely!) enchanted people here, but so many's activities steal them away. That's why I'm facebooking so much, trying to remind the ones I can of their home. Especially the ones with hearts like yours...

    And Susan, (you) the hidden gem finally uncovered, I think those Sandhills must've been signaling me that they were on their way North... to Redding! ;^) Isn't Sebastia's work most fantastic with Pris and the others on his site? And he's quite the gent too...

    How would you react?

    Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 02:55 PM PST [General]

    I just friended Kyoko (Lunascape singer) last night on Facebook, and found this on her page. What's with this audience, huh?

    This was some event on Oprah (that's why she's there)....they taught a fairly large group of people the moves and then there were some kind of cues for the rest of the crowd which then were able to join in.

    There is something so exciting about this video. You start out by saying, "Why look at that extremely energetic young lady! She seems very fond of the Black Eyed Peas!", and then the whole thing gets bigger and bigger, until you feel that the world is a pretty nifty place.

    They're all worth it, aren't they Aily? The power of suggestion, from wondering why that young lady didn't have immediate company, to the whole of the train station, can work so well!

    Faery this, that? Faery Music!

    Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 02:40 PM PST [General]

    We have so many cool faery artists here... but I don't think I've seen faery music yet? I just spotted Twig's Facebook featuring this Lady though, and thought I'd post it here. Beautiful! I'll pledge a few bucks! ;^)

    Tommy,

    You must have forgotten moi. We do lots of O'Carolan (Including Si Beg Si Mor: translated "The Big Fairy Hill, The Little Fairy Hill").

    I also have originals which I hope to record. It's always hard to find like minded fairy minds in this region (it's the most musically conservative part of the country...even musicians here are ultra conservative, i.e. don't like to break out of a mold.... and as I said, Celtic Festival here means green tee shirts: no one shows up with wings or as the Greenman). So, I never know who I can record with, who will venture forward to do live performances following a CD.

    I love the land, the hiking, my family & the architecture, but in every other way, I am out of my element here. I have more the mindset of a northern California or Oregon girl.

    :-)

    A creative Valentine?

    Saturday, February 13, 2010, 06:27 PM PST [General]

    This may be kind of straaange, but it's heart-shaped, and almoost red. I just found it yesterday and instantly knew it'd make a great stereo-Valentine, so here it is. For you. :^) Happy Valentine's.

    ps: They also make for a great backdrop!

    Ah! Indeed! Have been pelted by many of those in my day as well! The fae love to collect fallen little goodies in the autumn, and we usually put them out in a bowl. Some smell really nice.

    As for the steps...don't even ask! Last summer, it took MONTHS to break out a concrete strip that held up our old picket fence. Just a strip along the front, Maybe 15 or 20 ft. long. The concrete that was used back in the day is indestructable, and a full 8-hr. day with a full-size jackhammer would yield maybe just a few inches! He removed enough of the surface to set in new posts, but it took forever, the poor thing. The new fence was put up, along with an arbor, and on to everything else. How can a small house be so much work? The thing with these old houses is that the wood and metal rots long before the bones. They just don't built 'em like they used to, huh? I need a few house elves.

    Sending you brightest spring blessings, my dear one :)

    Dear Tommy,

    thank you for your nice comment. I am so gald, that you like Judith and that you took the time to read a bit about her. I think, she deserves a bit of attention even today(and I really hope I did her justice with my little picture)
