It’s been a stormy relationship.  There was no natural attraction, but society kept throwing us together.  However, through my angry tantrums, begging, pleading, and occasional emotional meltdowns, Technology remained steadfast.  Our relationship is definitely high maintenance, and for many years I carried deep resentment for the way it  sucked up my time, energy, and money.  Digging in my heels, I was dragged into the computer age whimpering and complaining all the way. I lagged behind, fantasizing that if everyone would just agree, we could go back to a simpler time of phone calls and snail mail.  Eventually, I had no choice but to give in and do my best to go with the inevitable flow forward.  It was a sweet surrender, for when Technology distributed my Diggin’ The Downsize album worldwide, it became obvious this relationship was not as one-sided as I once thought.  In fact my new pal, Technology, even enables me to earn a living teaching music online during this pandemic when all the gigs have “dried up”.  Could it be Technology and myself are going to live happily ever after?  Well perhaps, but despite all this fruitful evidence of our blossoming relationship, my imagination projects into a future where the only option might be to order groceries online.  I really, really want to pick out my own tomatoes, even if they have to be genetically altered.

Richmond.  It was a lovely evening and so nice to meet…

    Whoa! 2018. Seriously? Sometimes it feels like I’m being pole vaulted through time. There’s never enough of it. The older I get the more important it feels not to fritter any of it away. Precious stuff it is, and easy to get stressed out trying to squeeze in everything I want to do. Funny thing…

  • Can We?

    We try, and try, and try.  Our effort is not enough.  We cry, and cry, and cry.  Our tears flow to nowhere.  There is a Loving Source, call it what you may, that can heal every heart, take the world’s pain away. Can I, can you, can we focus on Love, and Light, and Peace?
