I hope you are enjoying the fall with peace and calmness – and sending that peace and calmness into the world. And I hope you have someone to support you if you are struggling with anxiety, a sense of despair, and fear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because that support changes everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the difference between despair and hope.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can lift someone up with kindness, compassion, a smile, or a word<\/strong> or two of acknowledgement that makes someone heard and seen – and less lonely.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can also hurt someone and bring them down with a reckless, hurtful post on social media.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This past week, we had my first session of our (un)Broken book study – and I was reminded of the beauty and power we all have in creating the world we live in.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of us offers a few lines, a thought, an emotion, an experience. Things we create trigger another thought, emotion, insight in someone else. And in turn, they create something and it spreads in a ripple.<\/span><\/p>\n

We get to create something beautiful – that carries a story of hope and healing.<\/span><\/p>\n

But we also are capable of creating a message of blame and hatred that triggers fear and unrest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each of us has a choice about what we create and send out into the world. Each of us has a choice about what we pick up and react to.<\/strong> (Below I’m sharing a poem about dancing. To me, dancing is what comes to mind first when I think about someone creating something that others can engage with.)<\/span><\/p>\n

~<\/span><\/p>\n

But first, here is a piece of music<\/strong> <\/span>(and story<\/strong><\/span> behind it) that I want to share with you today.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s \u201cWaves on a Moonlit Sea\u201d from the Blue Landscapes series – by my friend jazz flautist Damjan Krajacic and classical pianist Roberth Thies.<\/span><\/p>\n

They say they \u2018came together from different worlds and found a common ground in this improvisation\u2019. The definition of improvisation is creating without preparation. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

Think of what the world would be like if we came together and, without preparation, found common ground in creating peace.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Like musicians, whose years of learning to play instruments and practicing allows them to improvise, when we practice kindness, love and compassion in our lives, we know what to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Damjan and our mutual friend guitarist Mak Grgic<\/a> created a wonderful website for musicians (and aspiring musicians) Metronomeonline.com.<\/span><\/p>\n

They interviewed me about practicing rhythm in my music. You can read it here:<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
