Cowabunga!

Sh*t (I Swear)

Sometimes I wear the same clothes 8 days in a row.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing a good job.

Sometimes I swear.

Sometimes it's fun to say

"I'm not gonna worry about it"

and put it to music.

I Ain't Gonna by rdilmore

Just say it.

It's A Boy AND A Girl!

Today I witnessed the birth of a new Ryan Dilmore album. Mother and child are doing great. Labor lasted somewhere between 1 week and 3 years, can't really remember. All I know is I'm excited to start seeing the light of day once again, and the songs are looking forward to sandwiching your ears. I'll keep you posted in the coming weeks as to how one might obtain said beautiful music.

I'm so lucky that I get to do this every day. I'm so grateful for the way you empower my dream.

So with Spotless wrapped up, I woke up this morning with a new melody in my head. It sounds like a dusty old book to me. And I'm realizing Life is too short / sweet to worry about "eh, that doesn't really sound like it could be on the radio - I shouldn't share it." So, here's a little future memory for you.

The simple melody in my head this morning:

I Am by rdilmore

It's friday!! Can't wait to bask in the awesomeness you give to yourself and to the world this weekend.

Lighten Up!

It's a funny misunderstanding on my part, the idea of searching for clarity... Sometimes I catch myself asking, "What more do I require/where do I need to look to find focus, clarity, peace?" When really, the bottom line is, "What can I get rid of, give away, or eradicate from my mind's carry-on baggage to clear the clutter?" I find that a couple hits from the neti pot, or choosing one of a million forms of meditation allows the music to pour out faster and more freely than a thousand hours of "working at it". I'm practicing the opposite of trying: Doing! (As in Do-ing, not a strange spring-like onomatopoeia.)

While we're on the topic, new album spotless is nearly out of my system. Few more scoops of my new favorite snack and we'll be in business.

Today

There's music that plays on repeat in my mind, from time to time. Pieces of an unwritten album titled: Have You Seen Today? A song in the form of a question that wakes me up in the middle of the night, the middle of an afternoon, the middle of this sentence, insisting that I make the most of this moment.

Smitten with the pinhole of the universe I get to stare through.
