Life has been made even sweeter lately by the safe arrival of our new Daughter Anya Esther Rose on the 19th October. She is very cute and has brought much joy to our home. The profound experience of new birth brings many things into focus and also raises many new questions and concerns as I observe this rather strange world we live in. There is so much uncertainty everywhere and yet I have been reminded again that I was born naked and with nothing, completely dependant of others to help me and even though I fight it, the fact remains that I still am dependant on others for help and ultimately I actually don't have anything really, it is all lent to us by the big Man who one day will call me home as naked as I arrived here! What a wierd life eh?
Anyway that's what our baby has done for me! Made me review life and regain perspective again. Perhaps you haven't held a baby for a while, I encourage you to do so again and sit in the peace of the moment and let God speak to you. It's qite amazing what comes into your heart.
I am also laughing a lot lately because a few years ago I bought an old Lap stell while on a trip to Vancouver. It was an impulse buy costing probably twice as much money as I actually earned from the gigs I did on the trip. I justified it by saying that it will make me money if I learn how to play it! Anyway since then I have become a bit of a slide guru in these parts and pretty much every recording session I have done for people recently has been a Lap Steel session!! I am thinking of getting two half coconuts and a grass skirt so I can look the part now! It is all very funny for me.
So anyway these are my latest meanderings, thanks for stopping by the site. Please feel free to let me know what you think of it all.
Have a peaceful Christmas.
Love
Graham.
