  Winter

  Jul 11, 20264 minS0

  <p>I love discovering hidden songs from favorite artists and eras. I recall a friend mentioning Astral Weeks from Van Morrison when I was 20. When I heard it years later, sitting around a campfire with friends, I was fascinated.</p><p>The lyrics were visual, kinetic, and emergent--a stream of consciousness that flowed between description and exposition. I was transported to ‘another place and another time.’ The instrumentation was layered and played spontaneously. The songs exuded aliveness and joy that permeated the poesy and yet arrived in simple garb.</p><p>After that seminal album, I wondered if other artists felt...

  Sacred

  Jul 4, 20267 minS0

  <p>As I continue to write, I’ve noticed that the direct act of writing takes a backseat most of the time to a host of other related tasks: noticing, pondering, building the conceptual scaffolding of an essay, sensing that a concept I’m working on has tangents that could all be little essays themselves. Put together they could be a book. </p><p>Mapping feels more accurate at times. Instead of writing something that exists inside of me, I experience it more like discovering a phenomenon. Mapping that can take days or weeks of intermittent study and discussions.</p><p>A...

  Take A Bow

  Jun 26, 20265 minS0

  <p>I grew up with Madonna songs and videos on the radio and MTV. She was and is larger than life: a world-famous pop star, sex symbol--strong, beautiful, and overflowing with taboo. I knew the songs but I was never a fan who owned her music. I recognized her talent and daring. She challenged us as a culture to accept and respect strong women on their terms.</p><p>She sings with a sweet, well-trained voice. Her musical career has spanned 5 decades. With dozens of hits, not all of her songs are deep and meaningful, but she’s a good so...

  On Mercy

  May 24, 202610 minS0

  <p>I was surprised at a recent epiphany. I had to double-take when the word came to my mind because mercy usually denotes a situation where force and aggression were on the menu. But it rang true in a deep place, despite the apparent mismatch with the situation I was considering. Yet I didn’t know what to say about it without my words sounding forced and trite. So I left it alone for days. </p><p>I was in the middle of watching the original Star Wars trilogy. They’re great movies and still, they’re super campy. There’s so muc...

  Graceland

  Apr 28, 20267 minS0

  <p>I remember decades ago when Paul Simon’s Graceland album and the title song arrived on the radio and in our collective imagination. I was a middle school student, learning about Biblical allusions in novels like The Old Man and the Sea. So when I heard the title track, Graceland, I knew he was talking about heaven as much as Elvis’ sprawling mansion. The meaning was layered and I was privy because I had been lucky enough to be taught. I was made savvy by others who were learned in the subtleties of meaning as transmitted through art. I reme...
