It’s All About Connections
I might have guessed this was true. Then I heard this interview with journalist Amanda Mull, from The Atlantic, who's documented the effects of this Pandemic Time on the social fabric of our lives. Weak Ties. They matter. Beyond our "main" connections and core, closest family and friends, it's the people maybe one or two …
Protecting, Believing
In the dirt, believe; protect what’s in the dirt, the dirt itself, even better. Protect the green, food unto all, for all, let it be, let it be, from Mother Earth, let it be.
Lyrics Post: “Where The Streets Have No Name”
This tune came to mind recently, and I was pretty well immediately taken back to when I first heard it three decades ago. The riff, the lyric, the vibe of the late 80’s...U2 cut through all the layers and delivered essential, guitar-laden soul music, words that went to the deep places; especially with Joshua Tree …

Especially after these recent years, and all the divides, I think I'm most hopeful that King's words only gain more …
Lyrics Post: “Lovin’ Every Minute of It”
Way back when -- think, two score (40 years) -- there was a bit of a Canadian invasion of the American pop / rock music scene. Loverboy was one of those bands that squeezed everything they could out of their time on that scene. I've not thought about them for years, but then somehow my …
Inspiration Everywhere: Nick Chubb, Running Back, Cleveland Browns Football Team
Baller. Grinder. Fun to watch. Brings it on every down. Inspired player. Pretty quick, all these thoughts came rushing in when I watched the Cleveland Browns game Sunday night. Nick Chubb was inspiring, the way he ran. And it came to mind, gotta share that simple thought: be inspired by the simplest of things. I …
