#360 Kavita Ajuda: Define Your Reason for Being

Show Notes&nbsp;  We live in a day and culture almost devoid of traditional Elders. Our society seems to contend that people get older, but they don’t get wiser. And most old people seem to have little concern about this serious conundrum.  Our very special guest today, modern elder Marc Cooper, is doing something about this issue.  In his latest book, Older to Elder, Marc holds a conversation with his audience about both the value and the traits of a modern elder in a highly individualistic culture of self-assurance with little desire for the wisdom and experience from what has historically been known as Elders.&nbsp;   LINKS   Please check out Marc Cooper’s website .   &nbsp;   &nbsp;

#371 Wendy Hooper Ross: The Season of Now

A voice, a glance… and a second chance.

The Next Time picks up where The First Time left off. A mellow dancehall / club dance groove carries a male vocal through reflection, rhythm and restraint.
Emotional, spacious and syncopated - this is what it sounds like when memory starts to hope again.

Following the footsteps of The First Time, this second chapter leans into warmth and reflection. A male vocal moves gently over a 110 BPM groove  smooth percussion, soft keys, and that signature PRF restraint.

For when time circles back... but nothing feels quite the same.

*************************************
The other day I saw you
You looked the same
Different place
But same old flame
You didn’t speak
I didn’t move
But something shifted
In the groove (mmm)
Can’t get you out of my head
Is this the next time? (next time)

The next time... (next time)
Don’t walk away (don’t go)
The next time...
Let’s try, let’s stay (yeah)
The next time...
Don’t say maybe
The next time 
Say my name (say it)

You smiled once
Then looked down
It wasn’t much
This ooooh so fragile frown (still feel it)
Same song
Same beat
You always find
A way to repeat
Can’t get you out of my head
Is this the next time? (next time)

The next time...
Don’t walk away
The next time...
Let’s try, let’s stay
The next time... (one more time)
Don’t say maybe
The next time 
Say my name

Will I see you? (Will I?)
Will you stay? (Say you will)
Will we meet
Some other sunny day? (mmm...)

The next time...
Don’t walk away
The next time...
Let’s try, let’s stay
The next time... (you know)
Don’t say maybe
The next time 
Say my name
The next time
