Great fun tonight at an open mic. Good jamming, especially backing a couple of guys who do original songs in a somewhat disorganized, rubato (rhythm-less) way.

These things seem to have an ebb and flow to them, in any scale: Within the jam, within the event, within the day. And what actually seems to determine whether something is moving, and which direction it is moving in, is your attention. What you pay attention to looms large in your awareness, what you don't is unnoticed.

As a general rule, I try to pay attention to what's good in my life. Sometimes I'm distracted. Sometimes my focus lands on the unexpected, unpredictable. So be it. To a degree, I can control my attention - but I can't control the object it settles on.

Life is good.

  1. we control nothing, not ourselves or other. The distinction is false, and meaningless.. we see ourselves as apart from what is going on with the rest of the world life and other human beings. this is our mis-take. We try to dominate, not integrate.

  2. I continue to try to give myself up to the universe.

  3. the thing about it is there is nothing separate to "give up". we are now a part of the whole, but assume that we must somehow be apart ,because of local considerations.. we don't see the big picture.
