Hours

The results of too much wine and just enough music. This is what @micahbboswell27 and I look like when we play music together, (as drawn by @sundaysbestdressed ❤️✌🏼) Best time ever, band name forthcoming.

This is your life
It followed you here.
It's gonna be so good
And complicated
as You make it.
There's gonna be
So many people
To love (too many on Sundays);
It's gonna overflow with music,
And pulse with wine,
And hurt like hell,
Sometimes.
But mostly,
It's gonna catch you
Off-guard, and
bring you face-to-face
to bridges you burned
when you were younger,
And give you
second chances and tenth chances to do better
Knowing what you know Now--
That you are pure
Joy and Light,
The "stars and the space between the stars."
So Live.
Live.
LIVE.
It's gonna be so good.

I stole Treadwell 😁 Whenever Manoj is home, this little guy goes out on the town. So far, he's seen a show at Nexus, had a beer at the Flyer Saucer, and chilled with me in the studio. He's getting all those good vibes.
Where will he be next... #whereintheworldistreadwell #treadwellthebear #lifeistooshorttogrowup

Growing older has felt like zooming out slowly from a place I started in my own head. Each year, the view expanded, and I learned gradually how my life interacted with my family's, and how each of my friends had an entire universe inside their being as well, that they had to reckon with. .
.
.
I am an empath, and when I realized I could comprehend people's inner state from their energy, I used to stare into crowds of strangers and wonder at everything that emanated from their unfamiliar features; the inner strife they grappled with, whose source I would never know. .
.
On and on it went, up and up until people and drama and chaotic patterns become as clear as fields I hadn't known were all square until I saw them from Birdseye view. Each with it's own tone and color. It is a hard landscape to take in, because it continues much further than I can comprehend.

The struggles break my heart. That search for meaning, battles with loneliness and differentiation and a fear that none of it will matter in the end. People only achieving selective transparency with themselves and less than that with others. We have brands and have to make a mark before we die and try till our final breath to be somebody we think other people will think was worth remembering.

Patterned squares
quilted into the field
stretching endlessly but
Never quite making it
to the mountains.

I'll never have time
To live like that again.

Because I love
the mountains.

Been playing through my Christmas set and it's got me missing home like crazy ❤️ Come hear me and @alexedmondsmusic @micahbboswell27 & @bradbyrdmusic play Christmas music at Nexus this Saturday! Doors open at 7pm, tickets are $6. It's gonna be a good time full of Christmas cheer and santa songs 🎅✨😉🎄

Got a letter from a friend today,
cause we are old-
school like that,
And friendship beyond screens
matters to us
like that. .

He drew
a ghost in the corner,
The one that appears
when he is in danger
of falling asleep in PT school.
He sent it to me, because
Sometimes I am in danger as well
Of sleeping or not sleeping
Or of slipping
Into stressing about things that
Won't be remembered
in fifty years
(Or fifty minutes). .
You know how it is,
This being human thing.

His words from five days ago
slant across the page;
It is an inefficent method of communication
where time is concerned, perhaps...
But all the more precious considering that
that Life is fleeting, and
Love is the only
part of all this existence
that matters
And lasts.

I've got a deep, driving ambition:
to give away as much
Love as I can
While I am here.
And it's gonna be that good kind
Of Love,
The kind you can hold in your hand
And point to,
Like a hand-drawn ghost in the
Corner of the page that took all
My fingers and attention
to create.
.
.
.
.

Sometimes
You gotta let it break.

I've started interpreting my Latte Art, like people read tea leaves. Come on into Nexus. I'll read your Latte for you ;) ✨❤️
