Music for me provides true soultime. Soul time. However you prefer the spelling, the calm deep within, and the certainty of being able to continue, comes from this time. I wandered through songs recently, and this one was one at the core of that session... "Hunger Strike" - Temple of the Dog, 1990 Chris Cornell …

Always Chasing
I find I’m most always chasing. At least, it feels it’s been that way most of my adult life. Chasing things, tasks, you get the idea. No? Things like: Getting the laundry done, Doing the dishes, Cleaning the bathroom, Cleaning the kitchen, Working in the yard, Finishing my tax returns, Getting more sleep, Losing some …
Give, Take
Not sure on the full calculus, but my basics come down to give and take. That means each day, with the most important people, and at work, in life, it’s all about give and take. My basic tenet: Give every day as much as I can across mostly all fronts… And hope I can take …

LEGIT, INSPIRED: M. M. Padellan
Love this dude, true hero of the everyday, and everyone, he posted this and I had to share, INSPIRED IS: “20 years ago today, on August 17th, I stopped using drugs and alcohol. 20 years later, I'm STILL grateful to those who helped me through that self-destructive period, and trying to be a beacon of …
Decompress
Feeling so, spent from the day, which way, To turn to rest, respect? Or just retract, from the stress, pace, challenges from all sides… Which side to consider first, second, third, thirst for more, or respite? Don’t stress, just decompress, a bit, It can’t fit, much more in this space, retrace, and do it again, …
Short, Sweet, Out
That’s my message just now: Keep it SHORT, Make it interesting with a little SWEET, And time for lights OUT. Know when to end it, don’t pretend to bend it, GOOD.
