Welcome to the Good News

Here’s something fresh-er and authentic-er.

Inspiring on so many levels. Their music is awesome, their site is awesome, the video is awesome, the photos are awesome.

Via boingboing.

Make something authentic today.

Stepping “behind the camera” often creates a feeling of immunity and separation from what’s happening right in front of us.

What are YOU avoiding when you step behind the camera? Or remain in the moving car? Or stand behind the window? In front of the TV?

It is not enough to just know about it. Not anymore.

Evelyn is deaf and a musician. I cringe writing deaf next to her name because in her case the definition is simply not true. She hears differently, feels sound with her whole being.

Her music is touching, honest and profound. In Touch the Sound, the documentary about her work, I saw her fascination with music, her playfulness, humility and surrender.

She listens when she plays. Her appreciation and gratitude of what comes through her is palpable. Sometimes tears roll down her cheeks.

There is a door to inspiration and creation that Evelyn has opened, showing the way for everyone ready to listen.

Open your door today, for a minute, and surrender to your creativity. Feel it and receive it as the gift that you are.

For some, adulthood comes with full amnesia of what felt like fun during childhood and a full investment in preventing anything risky from happening. Not for this man and not for us, right?

What are the “dangerous” things you avoid playing with?

Shakespeare was once a child, and he was in somebody’s English class, right? How annoying!

Your fear is the only thing between you and creativity.

To all of you, fameless musicians, in your living rooms, dens, garages, lawns, creating your own music. Your creation is a part of the puzzle, a line, riff, fragment or a note on the music sheet. 

And, what you call music is up to you. Find it, love it, create it, let it flow through you. Know life as Creator. This is what the future looks like.

And the man who saw it fit together:

 

Thank you for making life more wonderful! Keep rocking!

Some species have adapted to the way humans have changed the environment and are actually using the changes to their advantage. Is it possible to work with them instead of just trying to eradicate them?

That thing that you are fighting, how can you put it to work for you?

I believe we are here as the tastebuds of God, or whatever you choose to call the formless consciousness penetrating every corner of our beings, the universe. We taste everything and our fascination and awe are IT’s smile.

This particular smile has been in the works for a long time and now that it’s come all I can say is YES! Adding to my list!

If you can dream it, it is possible.

What do you do after you are done studying, working, doing chores and duties?

What do you create when you don’t have to?
