Dig a path in the snow, Dig a path and go and go  
out into the field with Hawk Hill to the North
the winter night when stars and moon are so bloody bright
and frozen snow so deep, sparkles like a trillion diamond lights.
The fence posts all but gone.

And then there was the big red dog who had a bell and bounded all about.

Waiting patiently for the Witch to arrive wearing cape and cowl 
embroidered by some elven folk who live on down south..

And it's so cold my beard is white..
I meet her in the trail half-way and we embrace, i turn and walk back to our little place, up in the draw, where the stove is cherry red.

The Witch the dog and me. Absolutely free...

Greetings all you wonderful SC people. First and foremost, thank you for just being you. This community has a natural propensity for giving off peaceful and loving vibes, and I am so grateful for that. 

In lieu of my usual dive into current events (I think we can all agree, it’s something along the lines of a ‘Choose Your Own Doomsday Adventure’ anyway), I’ve decided to jump right into the good stuff. So for this one, I’m going to explore one of my favorite topics… God (and please know that I will keep this very loving, and very respectful. But if you aren’t interested, I understand entirely). :)

I’ve been called a spiritual shopper because I don’t adhere to any one religious organization. Instead, my God is an ever evolving, ever expanding concept. I discover truths about God in quantum physics as well as religious studies. I see God in both art and science. I see God’s fingerprint in the perfection of a leaf, and the purity of a baby; and just about any other space where my mind goes quiet and my heart opens up. For me, God is the great mystery to discover; and it is meant to be a very personal journey. 

So how do I currently imagine God?

‘He’ (I’ll be following appropriate pronoun usage) is a kind Father who loves all his children equally. He doesn’t choose favorites, because he admires and respects the path we have each chosen. He knows we are all perfect beings (on a path of self discovery), because… well… he’s perfect (and on a path of self discovery). He also feels empathy for us, and shares in our sadness and pain when we hurt each other. But he loves us enough to know he can’t interfere with the big picture, or he will limit our opportunity to learn.

‘She’ is also a kind and loving Mother, who has entrusted us with a precious gift…. the gift of this beautiful planet. Contrary to our current behavior, the Earth is not our plaything, put here for us to consume. We are intended to be its caretakers (a responsibility that arises when consciousness is combined with empathy). She knows we have it within us to serve this purpose. But she also knows it’s ok if we fail, because the system is self-cleaning, and life will rise again and again… if not on this planet, then another.

‘It’ is also a vast and mysterious Universe, where life seems to be an almost aggressive energy, rather than a rarity. The building blocks of life are scattered everywhere, and Ubers and Lyfts in the form of meteors help spread all those building blocks around. Life appears to be a predominant goal of the Universe, rather than a fluke. And that is awe inspiring.

‘They’ are also the smallest of objects that serve the biggest of purposes. They are the atoms that make up you and me, and all the things around us. They behave differently when observed; and that denotes intelligence. And they act as if they are intimately tied to us; like they know they are supposed to take turns occupying matter in our bodies, so our adventures can continue; the microcosm supporting the macrocosm.

‘We’ are also amazingly diverse in our roles as ‘collective consciousness’, in order to experience the entire range of what it means to be alive. We have it within us to explore the lightest and darkest of corners. And when those boundaries are pushed to the extremes, we all learn a little more about ourselves; and more about this precious gift. 

And finally, ‘you’ are an independent fragment of this greater Whole. The scope of the entire human experience is available to you. Some choices can be beneficial; other’s will certainly lead to pain. But all will provide learning experiences. And when you learn, the Whole grows as well. You are all God in my eyes (each fulfilling a role in ‘the great discovery’), and I am honored to share this adventure with you. 

I hope you enjoyed my latest creation, ‘Shock Ra’. :)

Some of Us is Me

Guitar: Jonathan Beckenstein  @jonathan_beckenstein
   
I’m sorry that I’m not somebody else    
I’m sorry if I let my people down
I didn’t ask for anybody’s help        
I’m sorry that I waited for this long

But it’s like trying to move your life ahead with a stranger at the wheel 
While trying very hard to get along

I’m sorry that I wrecked my lover’s heart
I hope he knows I wrecked my own heart too
I should have looked somewhere outside myself
I hope there’s room for me inside of you

Cause I’ve been trying to stand up straight when I am broken past repair
And still trying very hard to fix what’s wrong 

Some folks have got it made 
Frolicking in the shade of live oak tree
But some of us we don’t sing so loud, 
And we’re looking down
Some of us is me

I sometimes wish tomorrow wouldn’t come
But yesterday has problems of his own 
Next to you’s the only thing I’ve got
I wish I knew someplace where I belonged   

And I’ve been trying to stand up straight 
‘Cause I was thinking you might share--
And make my little world not feel so wrong

Some folks have got it made 
Frolicking in the shade of live oak tree
But some of us we don’t sing so loud, 
And we’re looking down
Some of us is me

Some Of Us Is Me - with Jonathan Beckenstein

feels wonderful from here
and it seems worth mentioning
thru the early morning chill
see the world awakening

and so it is
and so it goes

see the luminescent leaves
dancin' with the breeze
the critters start to seek
a way to go

the butterflies that float
together carelessly
bring beauty to the day
already beautiful

There are times in our life when we  reflect through our thoughts.
Our Souls are the platforms that harbour these thoughts, emotions and desires.
I recently experienced these moments, which inspired this track.
I hope this music will take you through the same journey.

our Souls in Solitude

Here's a jazz original.  I'm joined by the wonderful Sam Mendez, Georg Boehme, and Al Schulman.   Such a great sound with both the flute and Bari ranges and timbers and Al's showing off on such fine rhythm guitar and soloing.  Sam is no longer with us and never got a chance to hear this.  This smile's for you Sam.

Thank you, SoundCloud, for the 4 - year - journey !!!
Lyrics:
I see us standing there
Then taking off into the air
Looking down on clouds
Towards the life we dreamed about
And ´though it took years to prepare
In the end we´re gonna get there

We kiss this place goodbye
As we watch the orange sky
And sunlight warming us
Affirming life is generous
And ´though it took all the years to dare
In the end we´re gonna get there

Some years ago we knew one day we would be here
Being fine with it, feeling so secure
No more wandering around, making every day count
And ´though it cost us all we got
Not knowing if we make the cut
We did not give up
No turning back, arriving finally
Where we´re supposed to be

Taking off
Taking off

I see us standing there
Then taking off into the air
Looking down on clouds
Towards the life we dreamed about
And although it took years to prepare
In the end we´re gonna get there

Get There

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.

Berlin based singer-songwriter and music producer Brielle inspires us to look beyond ourselves and raise our awareness, not taking things for granted.

Using only minimal gear she is curious to explore the horizon, interweaving delicate acoustic textures with engaging electronic vibes. The compositions allure with a melange of mellifluous melodies embedded in picturesque sonic landscapes. Carried by a dandelion-like voice her passionate songs touch on social issues and personal subjects, telling stories that relate to migration and belonging, adjustment and change. They provide insight into an irrepressible soul, one that is always striving to move on, even at times when you feel lost in a sea of uncertainties.

As a nocturnal bird Brielle is at her best at a late hour. While the city is at sleep, she stops the world and breaks the silence to transform her joy and tears into little time capsules, preserving memories of affection and the solitude of the heart.

Get There
