That One Tool

Listen to "That One Tool" on Spreaker. I've made it known over the past three weeks that an evolution of change had to be experienced during this unpredictable time of challenge. I've never hid the story of how living in the present is my way of walking. Being mindful of the moment. Grateful for all things in any shape and size. Reaching that point hasn't been simple because there aren't too many teachers, only books that lay claim to the importance of it being. Since March 10, 2020 I had to make a hardcore move toward making the presence of now even more available. My blogs and podcast episodes of years past have always been the experiences and thoughts of several years before. I fermented the process because in order to grow from it all things that make up the atmosphere had to be lived. Today is different. Without a net the words, sentences and paragraphs go from the field to the store. Imagine how you'd feel knowing that what you're presently living inside this Coronavirus world didn't have time to mix in with yesterdays delivery of headlines, personal struggles with questions and musicians that screamed at you because the interpretation you offered during a conversation of celebrating a new album ended up being two sides of a creative fence. How do you take that and learn from it. From today's writing in this moment of now that's the subject of this episode. Louder than the virus itself I can't help but believe in the days that follow there will be a huge hole slammed into the souls of those making art. Nobody wants their voice, pictures, expressions and explanations to be connected to this place that's consuming our everything. And yet through art the world grows. What is that one tool you need to be holding? Use it to reconstruct tomorrow.
