Oh my goodness, my warrior sister....you never fail to make me laugh out loud. I fall more in love with you with every comment you make! That sounds reeeeeally excruciating. Where the heck do you work?! Your job is to make music??

Ya....i painfully ingested my very first red pill at 18, the one that taught me how the world beneath the world works. It was food industry crap that first introduced me to lobbying and corruption, and though it stripped away my innocence, it also imbued me with a lifelong savviness and awareness I wouldn't trade for anything. Honestly, it's been a bit of a lonely journey, only randomly finding a few other seekers along the way who knew the same stuff I did. Mostly, I was just the weirdo at the bar or party who wanted to talk about real things and not sports or shopping.

As shitty and weird as the past couple of years have been, I feel less alone and more surrounded by kindred spirits than I ever have. This spiritual crisis we are all going through has gifted me with a family of warriors I am so blessed to be meeting. Despite the screen getting in the way of our hugs. Thanks for listening to my song. xo

Thank you my lovely friend for expressing what the world needs to hear. As I'm reading this I'm hearing my own voice telling me it's time for me to rip my bandaids off and start taking a lot more personal responsibility. ❤️

Jacqueline holy sh*t! I LOVE this song! The words are so true. Excellent article by the way. Nailed it. Causes, so crucial to understanding effects. Love how you interwove your past into this piece. When talking about bending and then mending I thought of the Matrix and the young potential boy who bends the spoon by looking at it. Then he tells Neo there is no spoon. The solution is us always has been. Looking forward to more music from you!

Wow! Thank you so much for that, Christopher!! 🙏

I had practically forgotten about this song, and it’s been years since I listened to or played it. It’s a bit too “SJW” for my more mature chilled out view of things. But it did strike me as still relevant in our current reality, as I wrote here, so I’m glad I dusted it off and brought it out for sharing with all of you. Thanks for listening!
