For all the info and lyrics on this video, check out the youtube page here.
I've just about finished reading Carl Honore's 'In Praise of Slowness' and it has had a very calming effect on my life to say the least. It's reminded me of who I am, what I stand for, and most importantly, how to be content and at peace even when the rest of the world is running around like headless chickens. The book is from a journalistic approach, capturing all the happenings of the slow movement around the world throughout history. Therefore, it's very all-encompassing and very easy to relate to no matter where you happen to be from. Anyway, I'll be reading some of the other books and essays he sites in his writings in the future so that I may truly take advantage of all the benefits possible by learning to implement more of the ideas into my own life. It's certainly made it easier on a personal level to come to terms with my current life and indeed in balancing all the fragile pieces of my life to fit together like a whole. The fact that I'm posting this video today to accompany this blog can attest to the changes I've already made. I have somehow, by slowing down my mind and being not only patient but truly content, uncovered extra time to devote to my music and other hobbies such as writing, painting, photography, reading, and just general wandering outdoors and thinking. I realize now that I spent all that time previously being stressed out by self-created issues. These issues disappeared upon realization that life will go on and nothing can be gained, but instead there is much to be lost, in stress...including years off my life, good health, and simply happiness.
Just a little insight into my life at the moment :)
Back to music...check out the following videos as well.
Collaborations with Henry Derix (new):
and also his own instrumental that I enjoyed...It's not enough
We recorded these videos half-hazardly and rather impromtu when he came down from Providence to my house in Ashaway, RI this past weekend. Be sure to comment and rate or just watch if you don't feel so inclined to share your opinion. I appreciate any reading this blog (I'm still not sure if anyone does...lol)
