Random thoughts on random things…
It's true. I try not to get attached to people, animals, situations in my life, feelings, habits, goldfish, oooh, I could go on, but I do. I liked my fish. I know this all sounds quite banal....I mean really, a fish. Come on, I eat fish regularly. The thing is...this fish, Saska was her name, [...]
I relish a GREAT night of sleep but resist going to bed.....always think I'll miss something. There I sit late, late into the night writing, or thinking, or watching some movie which is giving me ideas or just keeping me company, (usually with the sound off), reading perhaps though not a lot lately. I do [...]
To me, we're brought onto the planet to create, to fulfill our individual soul's purpose....AND we ALL have the inherent ability to create on some level. Just my theory. It might be by being the best cupcake maker in your neighborhood, or that you build sky scrapers like Howard Roarke or to manifest epic films [...]
I can't sleep tonight, (it happens a lot), and find I'm wide awake remembering....images from past times running across my brain like a movie. There is a lot of great 'shifting' taking place for me of late...which frankly I relish. (I'm wondering if many of you are experiencing a measure of 'out with the old, [...]
Well....a good audit of one's business and personal world can create some alarming 'ahas'. My business has been going through a face lift....not just botox, but surgery and the lasting effects will make her shine all the more. It hurts a little, this surgery, but oh it'll be worth it. Not only is Carl House [...]
A ship in harbor is safe -- but that is not what ships are built for. - John A. Shedd, Salt from My Attic, 1928.
Years ago I stumbled upon a print of a painting by an artist I now love, Man Ray. Admiration of the Orchestrelle for the Cinematograph Man Ray (American, 1890-1976) Some thinking on the piece which I 'pieced' together online and just below, the song it inspired me to write nearly 20 years ago.....I can hardly [...]
I'm attracted to strength. I've confused other things with strength in the past though. I don't mean muscles, (though I appreciate a fine physique), and I certainly don't mean bullishness. (Insecurity and ego ultimately). There is a heartfulness in true strength, a kind of compassion and openness. There is also a humbleness in strength. I'm [...]
Well, to start, we speak the same language. How do I explain that. I 'get' them...most of the time, unless they are overly domesticated....you know, the fat yappy ones with the overly coiffed hairdos. I take care of quite a few animals.....3 dogs, 3 cats and 2 very friendly plump goldfish. My pups, (well, 10 [...]
I write songs....all the time, and other stuff....I'm always writing...I can't help myself. Words just spill out. I need to plant my ideas and shoot my energy SOMEwhere. My songwriter friend Lee Davis tells me my songs read like poems. He's forever trying to urge me to simplify, to make them 'pop ready,' stay with [...]
