Got to Jam

Now that I’m home in a house with my roots growing deeper into the soil here each day, I fill my time with a lot of things. I’m trying to stay balanced and not reach my interests and time in too many directions but I find that they grow chaotic if I don’t at least think about where I’m headed from time to time. I keep trying to slim down my interests as they creep into new uncharted territories.

Tonight I took one of those interests a step further, into the realm of music. I joined a jam. I’ve fallen for the bass and doing this helps me get a few steps further into a silly little dream I’ve carried around with me for a while. Simply playing music with others. I prefer, “playing with music”. And sinking up with other musicians at this jam was a magical experience. And it gives me confidence. After interviews with friends over the past couple weeks I’ve thought a lot more about music and my connection to it.

Regularly throughout my travels, the idea of, “create, don’t just consume” came up often. I left that year long adventure with a few principles in tow and this was one. I began to write but not just write and hide it. I began to write and share it. I have Steemit to thank for that really, Steemit because this is where I was able to connect with others who want to create too. My mind is expanding. I want to create in many realms. From writing, to playing music, to growing gardens, and building community, I have my hands in many baskets.

Life's about little steps that add up, I've read that quite a bit recently too. So my tiny step forward for tonight goes for the creation of music with friends. I hope I have some music to share with you all sometime soon. For now, just a simple hello from me and my bass (and a lazy Trill Dog).
