friends,

a warm monday hello to all... just want to say hi, and let you know that i posted episode 295. it's not much - just me checking in along with a song from nick guerrero and a song from josh armerding.

as i mention on the podcast, things have been a bit busy for me the past few weeks. this will probably continue through next week, but i'm hopeful for a little down time someday soon. in the meantime, i'm sending peace and love, and hope you can take a listen... :)

cheers,
russell

friends,

good evening, and welcome to episode 293! this week's podcast is here - featuring two songs song from my friends nick guerrero and josh armerding. in-between the songs, i mention a few small ideas about the variance between what we feel, what we experience, and the stories we tell about them... which is maybe just a way of wondering about the feedback loop of nature vs. nurture?? hm. something like that.

i hope you can listen! :)

friends,

episode 292 is here - just me again + a some great music by toy house and danny scherr + some thoughts about the cons (and pros) of giving up. i've recently found myself mulling over the ins and outs and in-betweens of what it means to grow up, to learn, to try, to keep trying, to stop trying, etc., etc., etc. i can't say i've figured any of this stuff out. maybe nobody ever does?? i suspect so. but it feels worth doing, and important somehow, all the same. on one hand, i find myself in the midst of giving up a lot that's been a part of my life up until now. and, in other [just as real] ways, i know it's not possible for me to stop wanting or desiring or giving or hoping. both are oppositely true. which is the most beautiful thing about being awake every day. and the hardest. both. oppositely. and not.

anyway. episode 292 is me trying to say these sorts of things in a way that might make sense to you. i hope you can listen. and i hope they do. :)
