Quote It was the Psalmist, one of the worlds wisest men, who prayed, “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts into wisdom.” The fact is, we cannot truly face life until we have learned to face the fact that it will be taken away from us.
You may have physically fallen backwards, but your other wellness dimensions seem to be on a forward trajectory—spiritual, mental, emotional, social, and occupational. Take care of your home (the body you inhabit), as well as all the nooks and crannies in your favorite spaces.
Goodness! It’s not easier as our people die, but I honestly don’t think they do. Absence of proof is not a sense of truth, and how can we prove spiritual experiences or truth ...we can’t. I continue to seek too. Yoga, I’m going to have to do at home for now with the smart TVs YouTube videos ...I’m grateful...yes, I’m grateful. I praying for the right path to live my mission ...for today, for the moment leading to ...I don’t know. I make plans , god laughs and so I stumble a long and finally say, ok, your will...
I do that every time! I write a comment and accidentally delete it, then I don’t want to repeat it because it’s not original..this how my squirrel cage works.
Yes, it’s really hard , now that I’m older, to experience so much death. I don’t think we die. No, in fact, we don’t . Absence of proof is not absence of truth! Yes!
I can’t prove angels speak and sing or electronics with batteries mysteriously play or the lights flickering are spirits, but they are. Butterflies and rainbows appearing, birds, music, synchronicities..
However, YouTube , the internet , AI, hackers are not spirits, or maybe they are demonic spirits . I’m starting to believe that.
So, yea, angels and loved ones are with us. Most certainly, it’s true.
I quite enjoy your Sunday Lists, very enriching. Good Medicine. Offering some Medicine in return:
Buffalo Medicine-Prayer & Abundance
“Buffalo Medicine is a sign that you achieve nothing without the aid of Great Spirit and that you must be humble enough to ask for that assistance and then be grateful for what you receive.” ~ Jamie Sams
“Abundance is strictly a question of spirit.” ~ I-Ching
May your Spirit abundantly flow. Grateful for you.
Sorry to hear about Michael Rhodes. He was very good and worked with all kinda great musicians.
i didnt know he was on that Fortunate Sons album with Gary Nicholson. I had heard his work with Rodney Crowell. But he was also like Reese Wynans he showed up on videos from Blues Cruises to Storyville.
Congrats on even attempting that flying pigeon.
i guarantee I would bust my ancient ass if I tried it
RIP Michael Rhodes. Too many musicians of excellence lost recently. ‘23 is not starting kind.
DTB is your BOTT. The song Down To Believing is a masterpiece of storytelling and the travails of life. I have no shame when I say I fell in love with you and your music when that album came out. It helped me through a truly tough time in my life. Better late than never. (Thank you, Shelby!)
I only wish I had gotten the chance to commission by request DTB and HURRICANE. Ah well, the offer stands.
We’ve been communicating ever since on one platform or another.
The pic of Kenny and yourself is perfect and needs no caption. Partners, quite obviously.
And, Allison, I love all your Art...the music, especially this last album has helped to heal me. I’m going to be searching out a group and groups to start for harm reduction all the while I practice that, myself. Whew..it’s still damn hard life ...I want some “easy money , “which at this time would be working with the DV and Sexual Assault org...
Hi Allison, I've been following your journey for quite some time. Thank you for allowing us to cheer for you, pray for you to achieve true peace in your soul. I love your whole 'Down to believing" record. Listening to it right now.
Allison, I, too, can only imagine what my adult daughter, who's unable to walk or talk, was thinking when the power was out for almost two days. Molly Rose appeared to like the candles and explanations.
It's a constant awareness for me, being older, that slowing down prevents falls. And I'm hoping we'll hear the recordings you and Kenny are working on!
Love your writing, as always. You're a blessing to me. Peace, Love, Angie
I doubt you’re new to Wendell Berry, but if you haven’t read it, Hannah Coulter is a beautiful work!!

Hi Allison
So glad you all were ok during the very bad weather Friday..
Thought about you and prayed no tornado would come your way in Nashville
That’s a lovely tribute to your friend
Gravity as you referred to it the other day
Love your song, and yes you did it 🌷
R.I.P. Michael 💔
Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

I love the B&W photo at the end. You look very pleased with yourself like “the cat who got the cream!” ❤️
