The ego is a fascinating monster.

I notice that when I feel the most disconnected, once I'm done blaming the moon and everything else, I can see that I am so mired in identification with form and ego and story and identity, and that if I want to, I can read some scripture or read some spiritual book or pray or meditate or sit in the sun or hang around the birds and the dogs, and get a real objective sense of what's really going on here. That usually softens things.

How about not equating death with stopping?

It's when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn't work for me.

I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.

I think everyone's hungry for the truth

Writing a song doesn't heal things. Even if the song comes up with a solution, it's still only a theory. Going out and living my lyrics is a whole other deal. That takes courage.
