I have spent my life trying to find when that dynamic moment would come, and when your life comes to a special moment you think this is it, this is that moment. We can be fooled so easily by many factors, each day is different and each moment has either a drama or sadness, or a fear or a happiness, which can can take you into indecision or some form of insanity that has nothing to do with truth. The second the real truth for you, and your situation presents itself, you must fight the denial and the illusion you have placed in you conscious within those two systems. Some will understand this point when they are in that moment, others must continue in that chaos. There was a great moment today for me, it was neither by my choosing or pursing that which happened. It was a subtle moment quiet in nature that I was approached by 4 different persons all that shared a very heart felt moment and needed someone too hear. In that moment I heard the enormous voice of a subtle moment that said to me this is your prayer answered. I have prayed for that big bang moment, and that came to me though the heart beat of just being there at that moment, when someone needed an arm to hold on to them, an ear to listen, a hand to hold, and to just be where. I was, and that was where God wanted me to be. I was told by some very wise people that someday I would have that moment that comes “like a thief in the night’. It came in the disguise of someone needing a friend —— and the help of just being. It is just that simple, and that subtle of a dynamic. Listen for your moment – be still in your thoughts – reach the unreachable —– and serve from your heart — we find together — what we could never find alone. M
The Pocket
Musicians have an expression when the artistry that’s being created is so deep and strong, and so right that it’s “just wrong”, that’s called a pocket. Now, when your in the pocket it takes your breath away! You are in the energy of creation, which is the essence of life force. Now, to create is spiritual in nature almost like creating life itself. We have a way of taking that ability and start thinking that we are the creators of something that was created long before the life form of a piece of music or a child is born. This is our ego thinking that this has never existed until we created it. Now music has always been there as has the existence of the life energy. There are those who say they don’t believe that there is anything after death and the proven fact is that energy never die’s and I refuse to think that the spark of energy that lies in every cell ceases to exist. So I think, those two concepts create chaos and conflict with each other. I am neither agreeing with or disagreeing with either but I know that from my perspective of my own personal journey in both music and life I would much rather be in the “pocket” with something that gives me comfort, and a groove that keeps me harmonious and happy. This pocket has allowed me to understand that there is only happiness if I allow it to be, and only unhappiness if I don’t create the pocket. I pray that if all does cease to live past this realm that there is a “pocket” in the darkness that is left, cause I can groove in the dark and in that darkness there nothing but the “LIGHT” of all those who created before.
