Drift aWAY (mr. gray)

Lately I’ve been feeling into music.

Listening to some stuff from yesteryear and letting it take me wherever it wants to go.

It usually takes me to a place of contemplation. And sometimes pretty deep.

Almost all of us have been trapped on the surface, spending our mental energy focused on the temporal world. We end up all sussed out about triviality, and even if it doesn’t seem that way, looking back it almost always is.

It’s the deep that scares us. It’s the deep that we try to avoid. But it’s the deep that is calling us. And it’s the darkness of the deep that we need to face (instead of fussing and fighting about words and nothingness).

Well, I’m a bit tired of that game, the fussing and fighting one. Yeah, I still play it a little. But now I’m beginning to notice that it never did me any good, just kept me trapped on the surface, dog-paddling around like a damned fool.

Something else I’ve noticed? I like forgiveness a helluva lot better than judgment. And though I used to be an expert judge, I’m learning to release that shit. And I’m learning what forgiveness is, and what it does inside of me, and I like it!

Anyway, I think I’ll play a little old stuff about now.

Maybe something like Drift Away by Dobie Gray.

Hit it…
