| On Gratitude & Being Human | 23 Nov 2021 | 00:06:59 | |
Doesn't it always affect us most when an artist shares themselves through their music and makes us feel something? It may be joy or deep sorrow, but feeling deeply through music is such a moving experience. Having music in our lives is a wonderful way to feel things deeply, the joy and the hard things. It's a great way to have a place to be with each other as we're going through things. So that's what I'm grateful for at this moment - I'm wishing you listening, the space to feel grateful or mournful or exhausted or joyful, whatever it is you're feeling. May the music we make and listen to and create, help us feel all of it too. And help us connect with one another and be human together. Thanks for being here in this podcast community, for sure. I'm grateful for you!
