Path of heart - July 31, 2005

Someone near and dear to me saw me playing at a venue recently. She told me that when she saw me she started crying because she knew that I was on the way. She was an older woman who had been through many things--I wondered what it meant.

I began to think about that. I can’t tell you how that affected me--good, but her actions also made me think this thing through. This is what they call a right of passage no doubt--that's what it is allright. And you know what else? There really is no turning back anymore--I am on a path of heart. To those who understand this, those who support me, even those who don’t know me (but have a great time when I perform), to those who help me carry my cases, stands, insturments and bags in and out and in and out, and especially to that special person who cried for me. Thank you. Let's take this to the next level. I'll be there for you.
