With the perfect swing, you keep your right foot down. Or there’s the imperfect way.
There’s perfect pitch and then there’s this.
The perfect painting is all planned with no freedom or improvising allowed.
#Eclecticism
Their hearts told us a lot more than their maps ever did.
I hope the same will be said for us.
#Exploration
Name them.
Then discard them.
They’re not helping and they will continue this trend as long as they remain nameless.

This is really quick and a bit scattered podcast, but I had to cut it while it was fresh. The quote that got it all started from a sermon I listened to late last night from Darren Rouanzoin the lead pastor at The Garden Church in Long Beach, CA. In his message, You Are An Artist, he said – “Who you aren’t isn’t interesting.” That’s a word that is going to be in my pocket for a while. Enjoy. And Godspeed in your music making.

Sermon: You Are An Artist – Darren Rouanzoin
Song Lyrics: Melody, Trees, Whimsy, Breeze by Ashton Gustafson
I rode this horse like I rode my life.
I rowed this boat like I’ve rowed my time.
I think I’m getting close.
I think I’m almost there.
I reach to the sky like a flower does
Get me a little sun, get me a little love
I think I’m getting close.
I think I’m almost there.
Hold my hand, give this head a place to rest
I’m a broken man with a soul that wants to dance
It’s the melody in the trees the whimsy in the breeze….let me breathe.
Awareness of the now.
Hope on the horizon.
Connection.
Joy-filled, wondrous experience.
Quiet service.
