Yeah, thanks for a very thoughtful and thought-provoking thread!

I learned that:

        - I can do way more way better than I ever thought I could…and that it matters even if no one else in the world sees or cares

        - when you DON'T know what the hell you are doing, it's important to know when to let on, and when NOT to let on

        - if you keep the very most important things right up in front of you ALL the time, all else (stress, anger, loss, disappointment, lunacy, hard times, whatever) WILL fade away

        - if you don't do the things you're supposed to do, the universe will eventually kick you on your ass and make you take care of business

        - friends of the heart are there no matter what, and that even when things look bad all around for all around, there's help, and love enough to go around

        - a little church won't hurt, and sometimes works wonders

I learned a teeny, tiny bit of bodhran, enough to make me want to work more!

I learned that a little music is better than no music at all.

Bee dubya, come to the Getaway this fall and we'll sing that song together, and it'll be good : )
