Awesome, glad you liked this... I sort of went off at a tangent at the end but Seattle is the home of Amazon and some pretty heavy hitting tech companies. Sort of a mini silicon valley...

The ego can be a very powerful force. How we see ourselves defines our reality... Vanity can be a waste of time but many cling to it and value themselves in odd ways, how much money they have, the cars

Yes, the heart, the last bastion of our humanity. Without it I doubt our species stands even the slightest chance of survival. Love... Where's the love?

Yes, it is normal to wonder how much of what we do is programmed in some way shape or form. How much of what we do is truly original and spontaneous. Are we just a product of our environment or is there

Thanks man, i'll try to remember that!

Thats cool that you tried to perform it! Thanks for giving it a shot. Yah I think the point about working and time more referred to us having to do laborious tasks for money that we have no passion to

Yes, this seems to have opened a door to the discussion about free will. Some would say we are just programmed and products of our environment. For the most part we are. But mindfulness may allow for

We definitely are. I do believe there is such a thing as true free will. It may be rare but it exists.

I agree. Good point. If we buy the headline we'll be seeing things through a sort of tunnel vision rather than 3rd or 4th dimensionally. Its a trap to look at things so rigidly. We must be free to change

Thanks for your thoughts and feedback. I don't think that line above was meant to be sarcastic just sort of making a point that people as a whole have been quite passive to stand up and call BS on authority.

My thoughts exactly. Very well put @nancybriti!

I like the idea of being consumed by our own fire, when we let things spin out of control often times thats exactly what happens! Cool connection on this one. Thanks Nancy!

Digestion and fire certainly seem to have a strong connection. We are sort of stars in our own right when you think about us in similar terms, we all shine and put off warmth and energy, our fuel is limited

Thanks! I think of fire like passion or that would be one of its many connections. Its fun to take an abstract concept and just build from it.

Thanks, happy you enjoyed the composition. This one is pretty smooth compared to others.

Yah, I just write what comes to me in exercises like these... Funny how music can inspire us...

Thanks so much! I definitely will!

Awesome! Happy you liked this. We definitely need to get a goal and go for it, regardless of the outcome we will feel empowered and better for having tried. With good intentions, planning and execution

Absolutely, as I know you well enough now to describe you as a critical thinker, artist, poet and scholar I also know you are able to look into my work and find value / connect with value if it moves you
