Missing my tumblrs!
On the road for three weeks in three cities has me way behind on my tumblr. I am wrapping up a show in ocean city MD and on my way to Reno tomorrow. I miss y’all. I bought an iPhone so posting is a breeze but not quite the same. I’ll be back at it soon enough, in the meantime there will be the occasional biker dog pix. Much love, Jori
“There are, it seems, two muses: the Muse of Inspiration, who gives us inarticulate visions and desires, and the Muse of Realization, who returns again and again to say “It is yet more difficult than you thought.” This is the muse of form. It may be then that form serves us best when it works as an obstruction, to baffle us and deflect our intended course. It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.”

“To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch… to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Changing the world begins with the very personal process of changing yourself, the only place you can begin is where you are, and the only time you can begin is always now.”

Shelter
Ray LaMontagne♬ Listen, when all of this around us’ll fall over, I tell you what we’re gonna do: you will shelter me, my love, and I will shelter you. I will shelter you. ♬
“I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.”
—T.S. Eliot (via rvlvr) (via slightlypretentious) (via iwishyoubirds)

The Sufi tradition contains the idea that each of our souls has come down here from some other place and will, like the Prodigal Son, eventually develop a desire to go back:
“My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that,
and I intend to end up there.
This drunkenness began in some other tavern.
When I get back around to that place,
I’ll be completely sober.
