This set of blog posts was from a lovely time when I was helping to run a coffee and tea bar in a circular room with a  sculptured stone fountain in the center in an art gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  We served up warm drinks and  snacks, and very often stories, music, and great company. Hillside’s Oasis has closed, but know that wherever you are, if the “water” bubbles up from the earth; if the air invites beautiful sounds; if the fires of spirit burn brightly: there is the Oasis.  Please check out the main blog posts on this website for my latest musings and stories.
