Happy thanksgiving y'all. This world can be a crazy place. Yesterday I watched Democracy Now and said to myself "no wonder people watch Fox! At least they make up shit and put it out there, less depressing than reporting the facts." What's going on is overwhelmingly depressing. Yikes!
Then I got in the subway, the sky was dropping pellets of rain and the air was stinging. I just noticed again that I'm alive and can walk to the train, find pennies in the street and play music with total strangers. That's all I need to keep going. None of us can change this world on our own, not even our chosen "leaders", but we can change our minds. It's those little moments that still leave me in awe, taking energy from the ether and making music, allowing ideas to flow from a source and making them into something, or sometimes just noticing that on a rainy day I miss the sun but know it will be back, it just needed a break, and noticing the rain is pretty awesome too and I get to be wet with millions of other Earthlings (people, trees, cats etc!) at the same moment. It's those moments that pass me by far too easily and when I choose to notice them I know I'm okay. That is something to be thankful for. Today the sun is shining. I'm going to do my best to stay in a state of gratitude.
