Standing Still (no more)
I have, in the past looked at life with the attitude that one day I will have "done enough" to make my life complete and I will just be able to stop and rest. This is of course an illusion, unless you want to stagnate. If you want to live the life of your dreams then you will have to accept that there is a price.
To Encourage a Sense of Being Totally Awake.
I believe that if you long to do something with a passion then somewhere inside of you the ability to do it is there. The reason you feel this way is because somewhere in your programming, you have a purpose and naturally the things you are more intuitively drawn to are likely to be what your purpose is related to. Have you ever wondered why everybody is talented in something different? It's basically so we can build the ultimate super team, using the strengths of every human being combined to create a sum larger than it's parts.
What has this got to do with writing songs? I have found my thing. Writing songs is what I love to do with a passion and to think that those songs may have a positive effect on somebody fires me up to share it with anyone who will listen.
Many of us feel as I do about something, whatever it is and sometuimes our desires to be greater or do greater things are either held down by circumstance or outside pressure. It is those people who I hope to touch with my music and help them believe that they can achieve anything that they want. Often it only takes a word, a book or a song to give the right person that spark to, as I put it, wake up to the feeling.
This leads me to my manifesto. I value the importance of consciousness, having more of it and being more awake in any goven moment to how we are being and how it creates the world we experience for ourselves.
I'll just be myself, be authentic and in doing so there will be people who resonate with that and get it. To all of those people I give you my heart of thanks for allowing me to fulfil a purpose... Authentically.
Enjoy!
