Operation Write Stuff In Ink has been a great success, not just in that there is ink on paper forming words, but in that I’m finding spiritual clarity and inspiration. I am making connections between experiences and insights from years ago, and some of those connections are to more recent stuff as well.
I’ve decided to reintroduce myself to the temple again, at least on the forum. I was officially part of it from 1998 to 2011, so I’ve been out again as long as I was in. I don’t know yet to what extent I’m going to commit, and don’t feel a need to rush into it.
In that previous phase, I wanted to connect to the Divine and to the Unseen, and I wanted to make myself a better person with a better life. This time, I feel like I have the connection, I just need to do things with it. One can always keep fixing oneself of course, but right now what I’m thinking about is connecting my spiritual practice more deeply to my music in some way that makes both better. An interesting challenge.
Speaking of music… album #41 is now at 53 minutes, assuming I keep all of the material (so far, I think I will). I do still want to record at least one more thing for it though. Preferably to release before we go on our vacation…
