"How often have I written about so much in our lives being a distraction? A distraction, wasting time, waiting, until we can finally do what moves us. Drives us. Like that is the reward. 

Once we get to here. Once we get everything else taken care of, fixed, resolved, sorted, then, only then can we do what is best for our soul."

A few thoughts after a lifetime in music. Value your work. The time and dedication it took to accomplish your professional chops. Respect yourself. Or no one else will.

"Don’t be too sure about anything, except your desire to find peace inside, and a quiet confidence. As a young man I would have laughed at myself for writing this. He was in a much different place then. But I never gave up searching for something better inside. And I read a library trying to get here."

We were shielded as kids back in the 60's in many ways. During my lifetime however there have been some improvement in equality, rights, opportunity. And yet, it can all fade away again. I see thru the lens of a wee lad watching Bewitched, and again now in my 60's. Freedom is precarious. Support your local Endora.

"Toronto provided me with opportunity. Canada, for a while it seems to me, was a bridge and a balance between European sensibilities and US bravado. Although co-opted into American culture through media and the sheer size of her population, Canadians kept separate in our own way. Cultures immigrating here were encouraged to keep their traditions rather than blend in as they might south of the border. But just maybe Toronto aspired to be a “world-class” city in response to the pot-banging from the south. A kind of competition. Regardless, the city we flew into in 1965 is different in every way now. All things change, including places, and I have the luxury of reviewing a city from my childhood that appeared more innocent, naive, and full of hope. Of things to come."

In Glasgow. Of all places.

"I knew one thing now for sure now sitting on that platform, waiting for my train. You cannot live in the past. It was funny. What a revelation. I had travelled across the sky, across the ocean to sit in a place we once left to finally understand. You cannot live in the past."

The real work begins post-sobriety. And for the loners of the world, it has unique challenges. 

Be fully engaged in the life you were given. With grace, and gratitude.
