You know it's a dicey thing. Best to believe in True Things. What's True? Maybe a clue, what's True is what's Real. What's real? Maybe what's left over when what you believe, evaporates before your very eyes?
You know, I guess, it's all bit confusing, and complicated. Sometimes you end up believing in things you can't touch, or see, and you are not even sure if they really are real or not.
Last night our band did a r&r show, and it was extraordinary in every way. So, this morning, I can say that I believe in the power of music, and of r&r. I do believe that creating and performing music in a crowded room of enthusiastic souls is exhilarating and healing for all involved. It is an energy, a spirit, a vibe, a real thing, not something you can grasp in your arms, but something big, and powerful, and extraordinary.
It's all mysterious and ephemeral. It's a feeling, an experience that connects a whole room of folks. It is something that seems to be disappearing even as it is manifesting in the air. The creative vibe; it is an act of conjuring, it's a magic trick. A weird magic to believe in; life-affirming, soul-enriching, it is what it is all about.
