Nicely said. BTW, I had that Living Color album and no question it rocked!

An interesting outlook, a first I’ve read, heard, and seen. I’m not much of a writer, or reader for that matter. But for the past five years I would say that I’ve been accidentally encountering entities that seem to come from the subconscious part of my mind. I feel like I should write them down, get them out, it only makes sense that they would benefit in the field of writing. In a strange sense, I consider them my children, even though I don’t have children and don’t planned to any time soon. I love them, but at times even I can’t change what is to be and could be “certain inevitability” for any of them. Man I’m crazy.

By the way, loved your radio show. (Always will)

I think that the words “pizza” and “gourmet” never belong in the same sentence without an odd number of negative modifiers, and that the latter term has nothing to do with the perfect pie, and may in fact be deleterious to that end.

The unspoken thing here, and perhaps how many artists would articulate it, especially those who are more articulate in their art than in interviews, would be a pithy phrase such as “that’s not who I am, anymore” in the case of being unable to rouse passion for old material, or “this is me, this is who I have always been” in the case of being able to rework old standards and make them fresh all over again. What these two phrases share is, as you say, that sense of remaining true to who one is in the moment of creation, rather than bowing to either the past or the future.

Comment on Weekend Reading – Wabi Sabi by Jim Marks

This is an excellent re-assertion of the core of the Orthodox life which is that we _choose_ to take action day to day and moment to moment which reflects the will of G-d, rather than our baser nature, not as an abdication of our divinely given Free Will, but rather as a celebration of it. We celebrate our freedom and liberation from the shackles of Sin which makes us truly Free to truly Choose to do what is right. We do not grovel before the feet of a tyrant, fearing the lash and the gallows, but rather we kneel in grateful thanks before our liberator.
