We spent yesterday afternoon with a group of creative, dynamic, beautiful American citizens, musicians all, playing music together in a small room, with all our heads & hearts aligned. It was a powerful experience. Even though all of us are very woke & engaged citizens, not one word was spoken about the horror unleashed in our names. It's fair to say, everyone was stunned into silence on the state of the state, desperate to lose themselves in something close to home, something good, nourishing, and soul-affirming.
We know that we are lucky to have each other, and that we have a project to work on together. It's an alternative, an antidote, to the latest USA Suicide Cult. This Hell on Earth newly unleashed is unspeakable. Really my thoughts this morning about it all can be summed in a string of curses & obscenities.
Where is all this going? I have no idea, and I can't imagine these folks in charge have any clue either. Let's just be clear, we have taken a deadly, very wrong turn, I don't think it's gonna be a happy ending any time soon. We can Hope for a better day, maybe it's out there on the horizon? In the meantime, filling ourselves up with music, laughter, love. Not an abdication of repsonsiblity, but an act of healing & affirmation of a better way. Fuck the Warmongers & Evil-Doers. Damn the Torpedoes.
