Stealing my soul

I’ve written about music so many times before on this blog. It’s clear it’s something that’s important to me, perhaps so much so that it’s become trite. I mean, who doesn’t like music, right? We are all experts in the … Continue reading →

Nobody told me

It’s Sunday night, 11:09pm. I am sipping champagne (real champagne) and listening to Robert Glasper Experiment. (I love that his band is called “experiment.” More things should have this label. More people should be honest about what they are doing. … Continue reading →

gratitude plus

I have written about gratitude before. And, well, I’m writing about it again. Today, I’m grateful for… family: even though they are far away, they have unique ways of assuring me that I am loved and cared for. Also, they … Continue reading →

101

As of yesterday, I had written 100 posts in this space. So, yesterday. It’s funny how when we change our scenery, change our company, change our environment, change our context…. things inside us change, too. Yesterday was a good example … Continue reading →

music and politics

This track is more than 20 years old. I, however, only discovered it about 6 years ago… I can’t remember how. Probably in a yoga class somewhere (it was early in my Michael Franti journey). It came up today on shuffle while I was at the gym, and… Continue reading →

Stuck, but thinking about Lightfoot and Dad

I’m behind again. Wednesday: was out late with Twitter friends… no post. Thursday: had an overly-intense workout that left me in much pain (more on this later — much learned). Was in bed early (unlike me) and very sore… no post. Friday: resto… Continue reading →

Sunshine and loveliness

Tonight I caught up with two different friends who live far away, each in different countries. Today I also saw this image go viral on my FB feed, in support of marriage equality. Michael Franti reminded me of these lyrics, which speak some of the… Continue reading →

Esperanza me inspira esperanza

This woman’s music is as close to a religious experience as I think I’ll ever get (though, to be fair… Maceo Parker is also up there). I could say more — I want to say so much more — but it’s late and I’m exhausted and I must sleep…. though … Continue reading →

Music is good, but…

I am not sure if I’ve mentioned before that I listen to music while I run. Until really recently, I’ve mostly been listening to rap while I run. The reason for this is primarily that the energy in rap and hip-hop is so intense that I think it help… Continue reading →

Stars

Tonight I’m in Bintan. It’s beautifully quiet and calm here. I will never tire of the sound of the surf crashing against the shore. And when I look up — the sky is black, clear, and FULL of stars. When I see so many stars, I’m reminded of two thi… Continue reading →
