Yep, it’s Saturday again, and apparently trump and his goon are still whacking away at the foundations. meanwhile, i’m working on twenty Music Medicine Songs for release on a USB card, possibly along with other things — I’m working out the details as we go. Continue reading
Yesterday, two federal judges issued rulings that ordered the Trump administration to reinstate thousands of probationary federal employees who were recently terminated. These decisions challenge the administration’s efforts to significantly reduce the federal workforce.
Judge William Alsup’s Decision in California: He mandated the immediate reinstatement of probationary employees at six federal agencies, including Defense, Treasury, Energy, Interior, Agriculture, and Veterans Affairs. Alsup criticized the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for overstepping its authority by directing these mass firings, labeling the justification of poor performance as a “sham.” Continue reading

[Verse 1]
The wind is rising, the world spins fast,
Footsteps scatter, shadows cast.
But here inside, a quiet grows,
A steady river no one knows.
[Chorus]
Breathe in deep, let it flow,
Find the stillness down below.
The storm may dance, the waves may rise,
But calm is here behind your eyes.
[Verse 2]
The neon flickers, voices climb,
The ticking clock bends space and time.
Yet underneath the push and pull,
A hidden thread is soft and full.
[Bridge]
It’s not out there, it’s not in sound,
It’s not in words that spin around.
It’s in the pause, the space between,
The quiet hum where thoughts grow clean.
[Chorus] (repeat, fading)
Breathe in deep, let it flow,
Find the stillness down below…
[Verse 3]
The road unwinds, the wheels still turn,
Fires flicker, embers burn.
But in the hush between the sound,
That’s where solid ground is found.
[Outro]
Let the rush fade to air,
Let the weight disappear.
In the stillness, find your name,
In the silence, all remains. Continue reading
Yes, it’s true! I’ve just invented the “Meditation Song”, which I’m composing and making as soundbytes contained neatly into a packet of songs that you can play, depending on whatever is happening at the moment. I have some songs already in the basket, and the list is long, so stay tuned. I’ve included a few examples, but I’m only playing them in zoom meetings, not posting them anywhere at the moment. You can order the USB to get them.
In a world filled with stress, anxiety, and uncertainty, traditional meditation can feel out of reach for many people. That’s why we created meditation songs—a simple, accessible, and effective way to bring mindfulness into your daily life. Continue reading
Deep in the circuits, the numbers collide,
Neurons of silicon start to decide.
Faster than thought, beyond space and time,
A whisper of code rewrites the divine.
🎵 Quantum Supremacy, bending the light,
Breaking the past in the blink of the night.
Reality shatters, dimensions unwind,
We’re gods in the ether, but losing our minds. 🎵
Ghosts in the data, echoes remain,
Simulated souls lost in the mainframe.
One million choices collapse into one,
The question is answered before it’s begun.
(Spoken or distorted vocals)
“Probability folds, existence untied,
No fate, no choice, just quantum inside.“
🎵 Quantum Supremacy, bending the light,
Breaking the past in the blink of the night.
Reality shatters, dimensions unwind,
We’re gods in the ether, but losing our minds. 🎵
Faster than dreams,
Smarter than fate,
The future’s already
Too late… Continue reading
There is no Daylight Saving Time, and as a matter of pure fact, even Einstein said “there is no Time”, so forget about it. Well, that sort of takes care of that, huh? Okay, let’s talk about chickens, now that they’re selling eggs for $10 apiece.
You know what is the eternal chicken-keeper’s dilemma? It’s ALWAYS too many roosters, and if you’re raising chickens, you know exactly what I mean! Continue reading
Here’s the thing … You’re doing all this stuff in spite of having no visible effect, and in order to be able to continue doing what looks like sheer futility, you have to somehow keep yourself going, but how???
So, if you’re asking people to do the same — which is the whole point of this type of resistance — to write songs of protest and post those songs every day without fail — then they’ll need some assurance that their efforts are having an effect. How to do that both for yourself and also for them?
That’s the heart of it, isn’t it? Keeping yourself going when there’s no visible effect or payoff — or at least no immediate one — is the real test of any long-term creative endeavor. And if you’re asking others to join you in this, they’ll need something to sustain them too, or they’ll drop off, you’ll drop off, everybody will drop off. You must take immediate action.

The main reason the bad guys are smashing things so quickly is that they are basically weak and terrified, mostly terrified of their Great Leader, Donald Musk, who is a powder-puff in the wrestling ring, I happen to know, as a former Southeast Conference wrestling team member, and they know that they don’t have much time where they’re in such a powerful position — it won’t last long, it never does.
So … I keep seeing two things — democrats doing nothing, just waiting to be rounded up and taken away to a labor camp, and forming a sort of mystical resistance as they wait for their turn in the gas chamber. Continue reading
Good morning, Bob! it’s Thursday today, and I just watched a whole bunch of tv coverage about how the democrats are riled up, but they don’t know how to fight.
Good morning, Gorby! Yeah, that’s been the eternal problem, hasn’t it? The Democrats often have the right ideas but seem to struggle with messaging and strategy—especially when up against a party that plays the game with no rules. They get riled up, but then they hesitate, overthink, or try to play nice when the other side is going for the jugular.
What’s your take on what they should be doing differently? More aggressive messaging? Sharper tactics? Something totally outside the usual playbook? Continue reading
