Just an update, from the heart. This past week and a half has been one of those times in life - for me - where I can feel it's time to pause, and reflect. A death is a big thing to walk beside, and a life is often a curious discovery of experiences different from our own. How does one measure ones life? I suppose that's different for everyone as well. But yes, I paused and took some time reflecting, because that seemed important to me.
Life is such a glorious thing. Standing akin to death, I became more acutely aware of life. And I'm kind of obsessed with life anyway and nature and birds and bugs......so by acutely more aware, I mean i was looking at trees and wondering what was their lore? How long had some of these old-timers been here? What had they seem of this odd fellow earthling that calls itself man? I found myself literally placing open palm against tree trunks nicely and saying, "hello". Looking up at them and watching them interact with elements and other earthlings that found shelter or rest in its open arms.....and while I've always love Joyce Kilmer, I suddenly felt "Trees" much deeper.
I came home the other day and my 80 year old mother and my son told me of adventures they had that day. They sat and told me all the silly things that happened, where they went to eat, people they encountered. My face muscles hurt from the big smile I had as they both animatedly retold their viewpoints. I said to myself, yeah, soak this for a bit. Soak it as long as you need......because time is always fleeting.....a podcast can pause for a bit.....live life, I said to myself. Sometimes you don't feel like talking, you might feel like writing...where you can't quite as easily fumble over what you want to say...clearly and hopefully articulately....
I have recordings I haven't yet released and people lined up to record and everyone of them is simply so awesome. Desmond is awesome. Anuj is awesome. Surround yourself with good people whose AOE (area of affect) casts warm, vibrant energy around you. (That's my cringey gaming reference, but its applicable.)
