A Mid-Summer Post

Thankfully we’ve had a lot of rain in Charleston this summer.  I say this because, for me, the rain is much easier to take than the heat.  There are countless reasons why so much rain isn’t good, but for me, in a day to day way, I like it.

A kitten I had for a year died this past August.   Just up and dropped a couple days before Labor Day.  He was always a little bit sickly, having been a true alley cat, or alley kitty, so his passing, although surprising at the time, was not so unexpected.

I wrote that song that’s on my music page about him, “Broken and Blue.”  It was an amazing song and fell out of me very quickly.   It also completely transmuted my grief.

I have enjoyed many a sad song in my life.  I have enjoyed angry songs and chaotic songs.  I realize they are not peaceful or church music, but still they are healing to me.    They let me express and purge myself of the hurt I feel inside.

That said, I hope somebody besides Mike and me likes that song and gets something out of it.  If you do, go to my youtube page and like it or go to my facebook page and like it.   I’m trying to get my music on soundtracks.

Thank you.

I wish you good luck in all your dreams also.   :)
