The New Texture

Listen to "The New Texture" on Spreaker. I heard the term the other day. Part of living in the new norm is learning how to adjust our lives to the new texture. We're seeing it on local and national television news. They're broadcasting from their homes. Howard Stern is totally not like what it used to be, Bob and Sheri the same. They're still showing up like real Broadcasters but the new texture is getting used to what life really sounds like. Whoa. That's a tough pill to swallow. What does life really sound like? Movies? Dinner? Stealing music from the internet and now the makers of all that sound are truly in a place far worse then what Napster introduced? In my recording studio I live a new texture. I'm used to a totally empty home with the occasional snoring dog in the background. It's all changed. My wife is teaching first graders how to read, do math, to be in peace, to become leaders in all this change. She's having Zoom meetings with other educators and helping to bring forward a world that could easily be forgotten. The new texture. So many people and families are having to readjust their circumstances in order to keep focused and in favor of where we presently stand without having to find reason to raise our war flags and verbal weapons. The new texture. We talk about it on this podcast episode. What it's like to take a 4 in the morning walk and the only thing you have as a guide is starlight and not the sound of airplanes and cars on a distant highway. Sipping on coffee in the morning is completely different. My new texture sees me writing all the time. I'm putting my writing instrument aside around midnight. Then get up to do it again. Not to be a buzz kill but I do bring up a question as to how you're going to be able to handle the reality of all that is when the starlight becomes clouded by what science has been predicting? I really liked it more when people were horrified of a Zombie invasion.
