lately, almost every time i sit down to update this site, i start and then give up. not sure why. after 27 years of enthusiastic posting, am i finally just tired of it? i don't think so; it feels more like a cognitive dissonance issue--with society as we've known it collapsing, posting pretty pictures and sharing anodyne observations seems irresponsible and frivolous. am i putting that thwarted creative energy into some other form of positive action? no. mostly, i've been working, either for dollars or fixing up the house (an endless project). easy to disappear into these tasks, channeling anxiety into physical, nominally productive efforts, but i feel guilty about it, like i'm not rising to meet the moment. SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO DO! meantime, one bright spot has been 4Shadows, our weekly exercise in spontaneous musical collaboration, where we transcend into the realm of pure vibration, releasing the week's pent up frustrations in the demented weave of an improvised sonic tapestry. it might be trivial in the big picture, but it's an affirmation of the power and joy that comes of working together. |
