two sense

Anxious to wake up this morning and get that first sip of coffee, from the first deep breath taking in the relaxing aroma of freshly ground beans to that moment of anticipation just before the cup hits your lips… ahh, nothing like a great cup of java to get a glorious day off to a running start.  Pleasantly surprised, with the sun shining brightly in the blue sky, the birds are out playing and singing and soaking up the warmer weather we’ve been so longing for in this cold winter period.

Everything happens for a reason.  Once we grasp that concept and really begin to think, internalize and grasp on to that short but oddly profound statement, we can begin to come to terms with that situations in our lives that appear to be of a negative nature, actually become the roadmap of our lives.  If we can discern that what may seem to be a roadblock, is actually a sign telling us that the path we were on has reached it’s destination and it’s time for a different path to travel.  Tied to our profound statement, is the entity of choice.  Choice, is a decision point that we are entitled to make, whether it is on a conscious level or we are unaware of the choice we have just made, but regardless, it correlates back to everything happening for a reason.

The more in touch with our inner self, the more awareness we comprehend of the choices that we make and in some degree can visual the reasons behind how our lives unfold, the paths we have taken and maybe a shallow glimpse into what the next path might lead us to.  If we follow our passions, that drive and motivation that gets us excited, makes us put forth the effort to learn, excel and strive to be the best, then the reasons seem to become a bit clearer in their direction.  We we dwell on the negatives, the roadblocks, we lose touch with our inner self and that focus can lead us down negative paths.  If we realize that even the negative paths are happening for a reason, then we can begin to understand that really they are positives, that the path we were on was put forth for us to discover what we need to do next.

In watching Tiger Woods’ public apology yesterday, Tiger has reached that point where the path he was on took him down a road that wasn’t the right one, the negative path.  Having his life seemingly fall from under him in the past few months, he now has come to the realization that he lost touch with his inner self and he is on a new path, he is on a path for positive change in his life.  His behaviors were choice – conscious and unconscious – nonetheless, they happened for a reason.

Pretty deep for a Saturday morning… but the coffee and sunshine brought it out of me!  On a lighter note, have you purchased your copy of Quit Wasting Tape from Rutherford Rock Project?  Of course I have to plug that every chance I get!  So I’m off to enjoy this fine day, the empowerment of the warmth feeling from the sun and fresh air surrounding you, taking in the refreshing feeling and joy of being blessed with the great life that we have and the road ahead!

Distraction… that will be my excuse for the time lapse between entries here!  Finally have a moment to put some present thoughts into words.  Visiting family and friends, enjoying the all-white scenery with the exception of the tall trees, highlighted by patches of white on their branches and few remaining leaves… can’t help wonder why another two to five inches is supposed to arrive today on top of the seven or so already engulfing the landscape.

In rock and roll news, Rutherford Rock Project released an official press release last week about the debut album, from looking it has been a successful release as we’ve raised awareness and potentially sold a couple extra albums!  We are starting to see more and more people, from not just the US, but all over the world start to discover us.  We’ve also got good initial response from OurStage.com, a web site for new artists to present material and have the fans vote on the music they like the best.  The fan reception has been more than we had anticipated, so wherever we end up, we’ve accomplished more than doing nothing!

In sports news, I honestly had no favorite in the Super Bowl, but getting a kick out of “not going with the flow” had to root for the Saints as the Colts stumbled… and a majority of my friends were rooting for the Colts.  The Winter Olympics officially kicked off last night, I didn’t watch any of it…

At the moment… those are the things on my mind, I have a weekend ahead that does not include Mardi Gras or Valentine’s Day, but time with friends and family, and probably a little Daytona 500…
