It's a mission, a way of life, a reason to believe. Recently two incredibly supportive folks, in two totally different circumstances, expressed their support for our band & music in word and deed, and both declared: "We believe in you guys." That's fucking cool, amazing, inspiring. Surprising too. Makes us think we are on the right path, doing the good work. It doesn't take more than a glimmer of light to show us the way forward.
I also received a text message shortly before I took the stage to play with my band last Friday night. It was message from a long-time soul-friend, a fellow seeker and creative traveler, an artist in all ways, a distinguished gentleman of charisma and light. I hadn't heard from him in quite awhile. He lives in another state far away. His message: "Continue on your path of Universal Righteousness..."
My response: "Your text message appeared to me at the most-perfect time. It hit me like an arrow of transcendent light. It exploded in my solar plexus and lit every cell of my body with the fire of a million suns."
Yes. Well. We get to choose what we believe in, and how we live our lives. Maybe it's best to live a life filled with light and poetry. Damn the torpedos.
