When you do the things you have to do when you have to do them, the day will come when you can do the things you want to do when you want to do them. -Zig Ziglar

What Do You Know?

There aren’t many things about which I hold strong opinions. I consider myself to be high on the continuum of open-mindedness.

But there are a few things about which I am certain.

Like my distaste for Kindles and other electronic reading devices. Nothing can replace the joy that comes from the process of driving to a book store, picking out a book of choice, and walking away with said new book in hand.

Likewise, I will always favor a pencil to blank paper over a computer, tablet, or smart phone. There is magic in the movement of hand to paper that simply cannot be replicated.

I also know that my dog was sent here from heaven. To be with me in times of need and teach me how to love.

Finally, I know that I lose track of time, and also myself, whenever I am editing a video, writing a song, recording a performance, or performing live. Scientists call this “in the zone.”

These things I know for certain. What do you know?

Words are things. They get on your walls, your upholstery, your clothes, and finally, into you.

You must be careful.
