I know it's gonna snow like crazy here in New York City today! But, if you're like me and you kinda dig going out in this kinda weather... I'm gonna be in the Red Lion Songwriters Circle on Bleecker Street tonight with some wonderful artists. It's free... 7:00 to 9:00
Bleecker Street at Thompson.
Also... Please, Please, Please plan on coming to the big concert at the end of the week. 7:30 - FRIDAY NIGHT at CAMI HALL. (You can put your name on the "door" list right now by clicking on that thing over there, to make sure you have a seat. Or you can just show up with your friends that night.) It oughta be a fun night.
Life...
Man!
I just don't have a clue. Ahhh. Maybe I do and maybe that's an excuse for making mistakes, sometimes.
Probably.
Sometimes, I just get weary, y'know?
Weary.
I want so much. I want so much. All good things, y'know?. I want my spirit to awaken even more than it has in the past 13 years. I've come to learn that my spirit was sleeping for the first part of my adult life... and, since the day that it's been even the slightest bit awake, I walk each day in a state of nearly constant awareness and wonder. What an adventure, really. A big, lovely, sad, magnificent, messy, painful, beautiful adventure.
There are so many people with their minds functioning brilliantly, whose spirits are slumbering so deeply. So much shallowness. So, much... I want to learn how to achieve and share more peace of mind. And, I want to know how to achieve more of that quiet kind of Joy that knows no bounds and is beyond description. You know that feeling. It's a feeling that I get glimpses of now and then, and then get to put in a song. It's the kind of feeling that happens when I feel the subtle Truth about something, a know it's okay to sing it... no matter what others might say. I want so much for people to stop hurting each other and lying to each other. I'm tired of the BULLSHIT.
I want so much.
It'll all make sense one day.
Or not.
I'm learning one thing though, every day.
The greatest intellects on the planet... I mean, THE GREATEST intellect on the planet...
...can't hold a candle to an open heart.
Doesn't even belong in the same ring with an open heart.
For myself, I find that the longest and most important journey I often have to take is about a foot in length... from my brain back to my heart.
Of course, open minds are always searching for new answers to old questions, and open hearts can get hurt much more easily than the closed and safe kind... but, I'll take the trade off. The adventure is too wonderful to go back to sleep.
And, I love the company.
I'll begin posting more about our good friend in the Middle East, Gordon... tomorrow. He's an extraordinary young man who I can't wait to meet this summer. (If you wanna catch up with the man I'm talking about, Gordon is in the "Archives".
Takin' a day to be quiet and kind today.
You're all welcome to speak out in the "Forum". But, do me a favor. Just talk to each other, okay? Just speak to each other. There's already too much bullshit in the world. Talk to each other.
Oh yeah... before I leave you, if you want to listen to or download the new song, "JesusLand" for yourself, just click here:

Thanks again.
