Best possible morning to all of you here in the community. Here’s a nice ‘ray of hope’ message for you, as we breathe in the rich and complex flabbergast of our current situation. This is one of those timely discoveries that might just help nurture the soul a little, as we buckle in for an unimaginable (and oftentimes unbelievable) timeline:

Brian McLaren (former Pastor) - Something is trying to be born 
(as transcribed from his Tic Tok video)

Something is trying to be born.
And something is dying.
Here’s what’s dying:
A world of white supremacy is dying.
A world of dominating angry greedy men without empathy is dying.
A world without concern for planet earth itself, that world is dying.
A world of violence and power, of religious supremacy; 
a world that measures value by wealth not health;
that kind of world is dying.
A world that works on domination and exclusion, 
not collaboration and connection;
that kind of world is dying.
A world of me first not we first,
that kind of world is dying.
And like a dying cornered animal, 
that dying world bears its teeth and its claws;
and it will destroy as much as it can before it’s done.

If you only look at what is dying, you’ll feel despair.
But something else is trying to be born… 
don’t forget about it.
It’s not as loud and angry as what is dying… 
but it’s far more important.
What is being born is beautiful, 
and you know because you feel it.
It’s being born in you.
The pain of these moments, 
they might feel like death pains…
But they’re really labor pains.
The darkness, as my friend Valerie Kaur says, 
Is simultaneously the darkness of the tomb for what is dying,
And it’s the darkness of the womb for what is trying to be born.

Be strong and have good courage, my friends. We are in this together.
Something is dying.
But something is trying to be born.

Justin again. I hope this gem gave you a little peace of mind. It was definitely the message I needed when Cheer ran across it last week (there is always plenty of good, intelligent and hopeful stuff to be found out there). 

I hope you also enjoyed my latest sonic creation, ‘And The Banned Played On’. :)

DL on SC :)

And The Banned Played On

Here lies “Yoga for Invertebrates”, music made from an improvisation by Keith Macksoud on bass, and myself on guitar. The session was recorded in Mamaroneck, NY on May 10th this year, and then reconstituted over the following weeks.
Musical language can be intimately shared. .Between us, Keith and I have developed an almost clairvoyent musical lingo over the last half century. We were lucky to have met in junior high! There is nobody I naturally connect with better, and we share many influences.  Let’s recognize some of those teachers and musicians who directly shaped our musical understanding and appreciation over the years;  Irwin Stahl, Mike Hogan, Larry Quadagno, Mark Macksoud, Jim Lorusso, Bernard Grobeman, Joe Iodine, Fluid, The Kool Kats, Pataphysical Network #2 (Brendan and Conrad), Rory and Gary Young, Carlos Vivanco, Jim Meneses, Elliot Levin, Bill Bradfield, Matt Lamborn, Ben Monder, and other wizards.
Thank you for loaning me your ears. I hope to return them in pristine condition. If you enjoyed this, please like, comment, and share. Thanks!
