Everything changes, nothing remains without change


The title, "Everything changes, nothing remains without change", is a quote attributed to the Buddha. And so it is that our world is made of impermanence. There have been changes in my life since the whole Covid lockdown, one of which is letting my old blogs go. Over the course of 11 years, I wrote and published 730 posts across 4 different blogs! 

That's a lot of writing. 

That's a lot of transmission and communication. 

That's a major part of my life.

But that was then, the past. Today, new shoots have sprouted from the seeds that I planted. My YouTube channel is going strong, with a weekly video. And I have recently moved my efforts to Patreon, where I have a new blog, exclusive videos, exclusive audio, Zoom calls, and other transmissions based around my work as a writer and musician. If you've read any of these blogs here, then you know what I'm all about, so I invite you to meet me over on Patreon, where I can actually get paid something for all this work. I never made any direct money off of my blogs, and my YouTube channel has been supported by donations, so Patreon seems the way to go, as it allows me to house everything under one roof. Monthly memberships start at $5.00.

Thanks for all the interest in these blogs the past 12 years. It was a great journey. Now on to the next one…

Facing Your Fears In An Uncertain World

We live in uncertain times. But people have always lived in uncertain times. If there wasn't the threat of war, there was the threat of famine, or plague, or some sort of catastrophe.

But it's always been that way, it's just that now we are able to see things live and in surround sound on a big screen, safe in our own homes. But are we really safe? Or are we just frightened by this instant connection to the world around us. As artists, we face fears everyday: Will my work be rejected?  Will I be inspired and creative today?  Will somebody steal my ideas?  Will somebody get more publicity or shows than me? Will I be able to make enough money and pay my bills? Will the world continue to fall all around me? Many of these fears are real, but some of them are magnified out of pr...

Art In Uncertain Times

Image
While we always seem to live in uncertain times, today, with the Corona virus sweeping around the world, things are even more uncertain. The end of the world as we know it. Businesses are closed. Events are canceled. People are being asked to stay home and avoid contact with others. If you are a performing artist, this is especially difficult, as you are not able to go out into the world and present your art. Not being able to perform means not making any money. And that make an already difficult situation even more so for most of us. Many artists are barely able to keep ahead of the bills as is.  And in the grand scheme of things, we, the ordinary people,   appear to have little control over what is happening.  But we have control of our art. In dire times, artists continued to create. Artists also continued to tell the truth. When all around you  seems to be crashing down, you still have your art, so continue to create because at times like these we...
