The stuff from the speakers opened minds and souls to interesting possibilities. We turned it up til the speakers broke and still continued to listen in our minds boom box. It was the lyric, the moment, the truth that was needed in the moment. The reflection of what we were seeing from the words becoming flesh were startling, baffling, real. Everything in this time is now messed up, surreal, dystopian. Let’s see what can be done when the call of the music infects our hearts making one at peace or turmoil. When it all comes down to it the groove of the record and the message it contains is what matters most.
More or Less of Something
Have you ever thought something was one way but it turned out to be another. It’s like you swore you had more of something then to find out there was way less to start, you know cookies for example or other things you like a whole lot. You swore you had more of something than you really had. Maybe it’s wishful thinking or perhaps your mind playing tricks on you. All this must sound really confusing but you know I wanna just see what others have experienced. I am pretty sure everyone has a time when they thought there was more but really less of something. Yep all of this is just weird.
Tunes Tuesday – Arcade Fire – Everything Now
I haven’t done a Tunes Tuesday in awhile so I thought I would share something new from Arcade Fire. This is a group I enjoy when they are on Saturday Night Live. Here is Everything Now.
Hello August 2017
Welcome August 2017. Let’s see what’s in store. Oh yeah I get older this month among some other things. Time seems to be flying by.
The Other Serenity Prayer
This is so true. I beat myself up about stuff and say I’m sorry for stuff that I don’t always get right.
Nice, Just Saying
I try to be positive, encouraging and kind. In the world that we live in today it’s needed. People need some grace and peace along with love to get them through.
Of course you have to stand up to those who bad things. Sometimes not being a nice guy can do a world of good when others are in harm’s way.
In the end how we treat others is a indelible legacy we leave behind. To me goodness is the real gold standard and the greatest fashion accessory. You are also never fully dressed without a smile.
Love one another that means all y’all.
