This was written as a tribute by one of our young students. I thought it was wonderful and I share it here with you now.

To the Rose

Dear Rose,
Though I never met you,
your presence lingers
faint
and warm
accompanying our dragon Guardian
as an angel

And now
past the day you began this life,
hear
and see
our celebration,
as we dance and laugh
sing
of life, for life
and to the Rose...

The wind rises
the May Queen
joins in song,
our King's voice
is louder, stronger than earth
for Beltane...
and for the Rose.

Colors dance
'round the May Pole

As you all know, my daughter, Arielle Rose Estremo (the "rose" in The Dragon and The Rose) was killed by a drunk driver on May 16, 2008. In honor of her 24th birthday and the 4th anniversary of her death, I am participating in the Walk Like MADD event on Saturday, May 12th in Huntington Beach. I am looking for people to join my team and donate money to this cause.

What is Orgonite?

Orgonite is a simple compound which balances ambient energy by turning the negative energy of electromagnetic fields (cellphones, TV, WiFi, microwave ovens, etc.) into positive energy, with many easily-confirmed effects. Orgonite does this continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without electricity.
