Stars on the Ceiling - Part 1

Franklin, TN - Sunday Morning… There is so much on my mind right now about such assorted things that are too hard to capture in this blog at the moment. I left my house on Friday and hit the highway… “with stars on the ceiling”. I had sensed that this trip would be significant for my heart, mind and soul. Over the past week I’ve recognized some holes in my life that I hadn’t recognized quite so much in the past. I also saw how I’ve tried to fill and satisfy those voids with certain things that only left the holes deeper and even more thirsty. Life is a process and maturity doesn’t come instantaneously. We will all go through times (more than once) where we are surprised by something we’ve not known about ourselves before and we see how it has held us back. We will continue to be faced with the choice to let go of it or just stay in the present moment’s comfort while we continue to thirst inside and not move forward. This is has been one of those times for me where I’ve had to choose. Even setting out on this roadtrip was big for me in the face of some fears and recent realizations. There have been moments when it has was uncomfortable and yet I feel so much more like my true self. It’s kind of like a new pair of shoes… They’re much better than your worn out shoes with paper-thin soles, but it takes a little time to get comfortable in them. So, in the last few days I’ve begun to settle into my “new shoes” I guess… And as for the music part of this trip, now that I’m here and my heart is being stirred it is pouring into the music too….
Since Friday we have made a lot of progress on the next two songs and we are going to have the drums recorded this afternoon. I’m so excited for you to hear it!
Grace & Peace
