Here’s another picture I found of Sister Soleil; probably my favorite one. Everyone’s on stage, grooving.
I used to say at one point that two of my favorite places to be were onstage, and in the studio — in the midst of creative performance or development.
Since being in Sister Soleil there are other favorite places — over time I’ve been forming a dream of impact, wanting to speak/write and inspire people, perhaps in a classroom, maybe an auditorium, also in books.
I still believe in music; will always believe in it. I suppose what I’m evolving towards is pursuing a focus on the spoken, the written word, creative performance of another kind. Bono of U2 is a hero, Peter Gabriel is a hero, for what they’ve done from their vantage point, not just entertaining, but taking a look at the world and supporting making it better. (Bono is involved with DATA – www.data.org – and Peter Gabriel has supported world music for a long time as well as organizations like Witness – www.witness.org)
Perhaps my dream has evolved to encompass new harmonies; I may not end up playing music full-time again, but I hope to learn how to inspire passion through words I write, speak, and actions I take.
