Whew. To busy livin’ la vida lulu lately to write about it.
Been breathless the past three months.
Gigging, teaching, parenting. Achieving and maintaining balance between those three activities takes all my meager dowggie powers to handle.
Major shake-ups in life and The Force these past months. Major changes. Also a stronger sense of center.
A stronger sense of a dowggie’s place in the scheme of things. Not to mention a greater sense of the responsibility attached to whatever power(s) clarity accrues.
The theme continues to be — Share the gift, share the love.
Truth be told, the effort sometimes seems beyond human capacity.
Thank The Tao i can be more dowggie than human.
;-p
Seriously, though… i can now vouch for the veracity of the saying, "those who would give light must endure burning".
Both my hands have been suffering a strange sort of glitch. I’ll spare you the details.
Suffice it to say that there are nights when my hands don’t function quite the way they should and i have to rethink all my fingerings while in the grip of the moment.
Knowing where i have to land at a given moment, i end up having to plan a few beats ahead. Manage to pull it off most of the time. But still… it makes what is already a quixotic quest that much harder.
Well… as they say, God/The Universe doesn’t give you what you can’t handle. While appreciative of the compliment, i do also sometimes wish God/The Universe didn’t have quite so high an opinion of my capacity.
;-p
The bright side, though, is… stars and heavenly forces seem to be aligning in such a way as to give this li’l dowggie’s career a major push in a positive direction.
Local legends/personal musical heroes, who shall remain nameless at this point, have pledged their help in this venture soon to be birthed. It’s a big deal to me. Very touching. Tearfully so.
Thank you, Angel. Thank you, Universe. Thank you, God.
The time is ripe to share The Angelsong with the world.
Time to share the gift, share the love.
God willing.
Share the gift, share the love.
Yes, i’m willing to pay the price. Yes, i shall endure the burning. Yes, i shall drink from the cup.
Yes, i shall do Your will.
All i am is a vessel. Take me and do with me as thou wilt.
Yes.
Thank you.
May Your song be heard.
All honor and glory be to God in the highest.
Love, light, laughter,
