I’ll start by telling you who I am: a 50 year old musician with a lot of questions and absolutely no answers. What I am is determined to evolve. What this blog represents is one of my many efforts towards that determination. Where I’m at physically (if you know this town you’ll understand this distinction) is South Austin, Texas. Where I’m at otherwise — spiritually, psychically, psychologically, whatever — is, honestly, pretty well messed up. When I’m starting this blog is March, 2008, a few days before my daughter’s 23rd birthday. I sense strongly in the greater world and in my own tiny existence huge changes await. I’m variously thrilled and fearful — thrilled, because the possibilities in this moment seem to contain so much hope and promise, fearful, because the possibilities in this moment also seem to contain disaster. Being 50, fear of disaster has little to do with me and everything to do with my daughter.
Which leads me to why. I’m pretty sure our species passed blog saturation about 32 million blogs ago. If I set aside my (ever diminishing) ego, I’ll admit this particular blog probably has little to commend itself to you, dear hypothetical reader. The truth is my internal monologue has led me to the conclusion there’s no growth in continued looping, hahaha, so this is simply a way for me to get it all out, to force myself to speak truthfully to the world and hope that somehow, by saving myself — by increasing peace, love, and understanding in my cosmos — I’ll somehow help tilt the fate of all towards the positive, and leave a safer, happier world for my beloved daughter.
