My good friend Hanuman likes to remind me that life is way to important to take seriously. Being involved with Recovery, Dharma, and various therapeutic practices sometimes makes me feel like I can get into a hyper self-improvement mode. Which isn't always so great. In fact, sometimes I can find myself being stark raving serious in times when it's just not helpful.

A good Dharma teacher once asked me if there was something that I felt was missing from Dharma practice and work. A good question. My answer is yes, humor. When can we get some damn humor around here to lighten the load a bit right?

Once upon a time, I lived in Nashville TN. There, my life totally fell apart and I turned once again, to Dharma and punk rock. Here is short and sweet little ditty for y'all.

The triad of gratification, danger, and escape is one of the Buddha’s most concise and simple teachings for investigating everyday lived experience. This formula can be applied to every single aspect of our experience. Many Buddhist scholars point out that this teaching contains the earliest roots of what we have come to know as the four noble truths. The basic framework for all Buddhist traditions.

Some of you may know that I have writing and recording music for most of my life. Music is the only thing I have been doing longer than Dharma work. I recently recorded an Americana Roots record out here in Colorado. Since the track is titled "Wake Up" I thought I would share the audio track here on my podcast. If you would like to hear more, or purchase on of my many releases, you can click here: https://davesmithcountryrebel.bandcamp.com/

Dave brings with him over 25 years of musical experience. Most recently living in Nashville where he played the Honky Tonks of Lower Broadway learning the ins and outs of traditional country music. As a musician and songwriter he offers a unique blend of Country, Americana, and Rock and Roll, speaking to ideas of redemption, forgiveness, loss, and the trials of everyday life.
