My many missteps and the daily good steps are not even part of the story the music has moved on and it is being created every day. A thousand missteps leading to a couple of good steps might be just what is needed. Get off from looking at your feet Guy, nobody cares - What’s happening now? Get the beat working.
God doesn’t exist because you believe in God. Thank you my friend on the bench in San Anselmo who shared that thought with me. Last night at the America’s Best Value Inn in Corte Madera I had a lousy sleep, God’s various bodily tortures are becoming more brilliant in their mischievous creativity. ‘If you want to kiss the sky you better get down on your knees’ .. wasn’t that Bono and the Band U2. Last night I dug deep into Vonnegut’s memoir/look at the soul of America entitled ‘A Man Without a Country’ I marked some pages.
Here’s an excerpt:
‘No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious and charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful.
If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph:
The only proof he needed
for the existence of God
Was Music
I never knew quite how much I loved Vonnegut. Here’s another:‘Electronic communities build nothing. You wind up with nothing. We are dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go out and do something. We are here on Earth
to fart around. Don’t let anybody tell you any different.’
‘La Fe mueve montanas’ sayeth the license plate holder of some Mexican worker who was ahead of me at the traffic light earlier today.
Whether your faith is working or not – who can deny the gifts that are given to
us in this lifetime.
Even a little electronic community work.
