This Time Tomorrow.



Once upon a time my Mom listened to Fleetwood Mac records on the carpeted floor of my Great Grandmother's house in Johnstown, a house that was lopsided and virtually growing out of the side of a valley. She won't admit to it - or at least to liking it - but I know from my cousin that she loved to do this. So I made this mix to make me feel like that. And I think it's perfect.

Or from the effort to fix or advise rather than to listen and to hold. So the first duty of love is to listen. When I think of times I have truly listened in my life – to the sea’s endless lapping, or to the sighs of my loved ones when they thought no one was near – it is receiving these simple truths that has made me a better person. So often when we refuse to listen, we become obsessed with remaking the world in our own image, rather than opening the spirit within us to the spirit of what is. At the deepest level, ours is not to make ourselves heard but to be still enough to hear. To truly listen is to risk being changed forever.”


Among other things, here's what I've been listening to lately:
