There’s never been another you. To own that reality is a choice.
It’s also choice to become a replica of what has already been.
Nevertheless, in all of our individual originality, we do all rhyme with Love.
One love…in billions and billions of never-before forms.
This is our story.
This is our song.
Other than rest, try to think of something you will enjoy today without light. Not much, right?
That’s because the dark was made to be slept in not walked in.
Who brightens your day? What lights up your eyes? Where does illumination happen for you? Can you name the shine in your soul?
Stay where The Light is.
Throwing a changeup here…periodically I will start to share some of the interesting people, places, sights, sounds, and ideas that I’ve crossed paths with.
Here’s Vol. 1 of Friday Finds.
Peg and Awl started in 2010 by Margaux and Walter Kent.
The Kent’s from Philadelphia have inspired me from afar with their work, craft, and art they’re putting into the world. If you’re looking for handmade leather goods, this is the place.
“Saturn” music video by Sleeping at Last.
What happens when Ryan O’neal of Sleeping at Last collaborates with Michael Means and Tom Shea? I don’t have language for that answer. Enjoy and job well done gentlemen.
Haven’t heard of freediving? Prepare to be in awe of what humans are doing below the ocean surface.
I’m a sucker for beauty, convenience, color, and fresh flowers. I sent these this week, loved the experience, and now I’m sharing it with you.
Enjoy your weekend and godspeed in your music making.

Mondays are typically anything but soulful. Between a myriad of missed calls, stacked to-do’s from the weekend, and an inbox full of Black Cats, we tend to begin our weeks in a state of heaviness in-lieu of one of openness and lightness.
Try this…gladden your mind.
On paper, write something small and human that brings you immense joy and that you can hold on to today. Or in your heart space, hold the people and ideas that light up your life for thirty seconds. Quickly, this will cause the Monday mind frown to turn upside down.
Once the mind is gladdened it’s a lot harder to lose it.
