I have to admit, there has been a slump in my output... I think it has more to do with stress and the world caving in all around me more than it had to do with my abilities... So I was not worried. I was just absorbing. But there has been so much to absorb...

When I was younger it was easier. I just had to think about love and songs got rolling. It's because love interest and how love affects you is a dominant thing in a young life. Understood.  Now it seems that although love is still a focus, more worldly things come into place... This earth is amazing... And humans are amazing... The horrors we inflict are deafening... The beauty breathtaking. So all things in balance...

How all this came to be is a mystery so deep it seems to invade my thoughts on a daily basis, as does the pain and suffering of millions when I read the news. So absorbing life has been more difficult this time. Which leads to either darker material or lighter (as the antithesis of it all)... I've been doing both.

Anyway. Now I am having fun with making music. I've been singing more and more each day in my car driving around. Voice is getting into shape. As I write this my throat is hurting, but it is a good pain, the sort that an athlete gets when he or she knows the training is good. I am owning this feeling.

Something is coming, and that something is songs.
