Lost Voices
UPDATE – The Concert for Lost Voices was a gem! Three solid hours of music in the round with a fantastic line-up. We were so humbled and honored to be a part of it. There were so many magical and moving moments. Here’s hoping we raised some good money for this incredibly worthy cause. Continue reading
Ask the Leaves…
A sweet friend recently sent a card in which he shared a sentiment from an old preacher who said “Be kind to everyone, because one way or another everyone is having a tough time” It was a sympathy card. Yes, I know everyone experiences loss throughout their lives and we’ve certainly had our share this year. Maybe more than some. Who knows. Should we compare? “I’ll see your 3 losses and raise you 2″. Loss comes in many forms; people, pets, jobs, homes, faith, friendships, marriage and so on. We all deal with it in our own way and, with a great measure of futility, we struggle to understand the inexplicable. But, hey, we’re the lucky ones. Right? I mean, we’re still here … walking this earth and able to decide to be. My mom said something to me the other day … “would you rather be a human ‘being’ or a human ‘doing’?” Sometimes I want to just BE. Sometimes, I find myself DOing when I want to just BE. Sometimes we have a choice. Sometimes we don’t. Do the leaves have a choice when they’re hanging on for dear life and out of nowhere Mother Nature exhales her voluminous north wind? The cycle of Life, for as long as we’re lucky (or unlucky) enough to have it, always includes death. The process by which we rarely get to choose. And whether that’s the end of the cycle or not … well … just ask the leaves.
After words
Here are just some of the words that came to me after last Saturday night: Gratitude, Love, Exhaustion, Happy, Relief, Overwhelmed, Giddy, Awesome, Stunned, Blessed, Lucky, Friendship, Unbelievable, WOW, Over, Bummed, Bed, Sleep, or… not….
We released a little EP called “Take Me To The Fair” at The Ark on Saturday night. We also celebrated a couple of birthdays (mine and Jason’s) and gathered a bunch of friends together to make some beautiful noises. It was a truly amazing night. I was overcome with gratitude and overwhelmed with the love emanating from all over the room. It’s been two days and that’s too soon for the whole thing to be fading away in the back of my mind. Too soon to be struggling to find it again. Too soon to be sitting here wishing we could do it all over again. But I do.Anyway… onward we go. We’re making this new little EP available to the world now.
Only available here or at our shows.
