Though they are
frequently apart for
weeks, sometimes
months at a time as they
play with different bands

finds that they stay close

their many shared values
and passions.
"I think, the most
incredible thing is that
we are both on a spiritual

on a musical quest,"
she reflects. "Spiritually,
Carlos is constantly
searching to raise his
vibrational level. I am constantly searching to raise my vibrational
level.
"Musically we are the same way. I really think that with a
person who was not a musician or did not have an understanding
of the level of not only love but drive that I have and that Carlos
has for music, it would drive the other person really crazy." n
