About this project
Ecstatic news from Paul Goldman! We are going to Studio 5 Recording Studio on March 1, 2010 to lay down the tracks for our first Stone Spirit Lodge(www.stonespiritlodge.com) produced CD, Wild Joy Released.
Equally stunning news is that Sacred Musician Tom Jacobs, www.tomjacobs.com, will be providing guitar and vocal accompaniment.
So, take a moment, slip your shoes off as you enter this sacred space, relax and take a slow breath and another. Take time to view the video presentation of Paul Goldman reading his Ecstatic Poetry (from an 2009 Poetry Reading at a local bookstore-with the assistance of musician Mark Gossman) and imagine you are listening to his CD Wild Joy Released- in your own home- bringing you present to this moment, right now, right where you are, a place you know so well.
Excitement is quickly building around this body of work that encompasses three books of poetry which individually and collectively serve as a powerful vehicle for transformation and healing.
What people are saying:

Blurbs For The (soon-to-be-published) Book, Wild Joy: Ruminations:
"A questing soul's exuberant reconnecting with the beyond and sublime...wrought with an artist's sensitivity to nature and a lama's love of moment."
~~Mark Scheel, Author of A Backward View: Stories and Poems
"Have you danced lately? Really danced? Welcome to the ecstatic world of Paul Goldman's poetry."
~~Victor Contoski, Professor Emeritus University of Kansas
"...The wild holy energy within this book can burst forth only from a "man who has lost himself in love", such as Rumi and other seers, whose poetry this volume now joins."
~~Vern Barnet, "Faiths and Beliefs Columnist, The Kansas City Star; Minister Emeritus, Center for Religious Experience and Study, Inc.
We are seeking to fund the initial recording, production, marketing and release of the CD, Wild Joy Released. A CD release celebration is planned in April, 2010 at The Rime Buddhist Center in Kansas City, Missouri with ten percent of all CD sales being donated to this Center.
For all of us working on this Project, our hearts are filled with gratitude to be present here right now.

Paul Goldman is an Ecstatic Poet with three volumes of ecstatic poetry under publishing consideration: Today Comes a Blessing: Poems of Presence, Wild Joy:Ruminations, In Divine Repose and a published chapbook The Meek Shall Inherit.
His poetry can be found at his home webpage www.stonespiritlodge.com. He has been published widely and often. Nothing stirs his soul like the chants of Krishna Das or the reading of the Persian Mystic Poets, especially Rumi.
He is particularly pleased to be the co-founder and host of the Gratitude Open Mic Night at The Rime Buddhist Center in Kansas City, Missouri, a venue for poets, musicians and artists to share in a monthly First Friday Celebration of Gratitude.
Paul Goldman can be found, when not writing down the inspired words that come through him, sitting in silence on the cushion at the altar, the gateway to all that is and the paradoxical path to nothing.
