* This shall be the first and 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 time that "Allison Moorer" and "man-repelling" appear in the same statement. Pffft. Not possible, total malarkey.
* I'll have to get on Leon Bridges - don't think he had been on my radar, which encompasses everything you could imagine. Speaking of: a few weeks back I dropped a link in the comments here to a powerful track by the amazing Staceyann Chin, on Meshell Ndgeocello's latest. Hopefully SOMEone, anyone listened and was blown away.
* McClister. His work is iconic and so individual. The second I saw the cover shot on Hayes' album I knew I didn't need to check the credits...I said out loud "Yeah, that's a McClister". He's a giant.
I’m loving the “Leon” album, too! I felt the Marvin Gaye connection in some of the music, as well. Lyrically, I hear some Johnny Cash with the stories rooted so specifically to place and growing up. Leon Bridges really seems to be hitting his artistic stride with this gorgeous work.
I know how wonderful it is to both be present in the body and not dissociate and to not numb emotions. I'm going through EMDR now, and it is helping me heal, as is radical acceptance. Thank God my therapist had me read Tara Brach's book, Radical Acceptance.
I've gotten completely substance free after being dragged into some stuff by my ex, who has a lot of issues.
We met online. Her profile said she'd take care of an orphaned elephant for free. I wrote to her, "orphaned elephants make me sad."
She wrote back, "Hey Mark, how'd that masters in philosophy work put for you? Orphaned elehpants are sad. So are orphaned monkeys and orphaned cockroaches. Life sucks!"
