Essential Invisibility


The studio feels ominous tonight. Something shines. And something sings in silence. And when the music stops, it's just me and my thoughts here.

...Seeking to become larger than life...but not necessarily larger than our lives.

A rose must be in the sun AND the rain or its lovely promise will never come true. So when I write I try to capture ALL of the day.

G-d never promised me a rose garden. HE gave me seeds... So I Water the sky with tears... And watch the stars blossom.

"Tonight I walked across a bridge... But there was no bridge there.. I carried a bag full of love... But no one to share it with. And then... I thought of you."

The future of art lay in her LOVE

The future of me lay in these songs.

I wonder if she's even listening...

Very Lonely Places...




I'm having a hard time adjusting to this modest amount of fame... I think I prefer infamy...

Sometimes the spotlight can feel like a black hole...

The writer before G-d. The supplicant. G-d is really only another artist. And we are mere two parts of the same conversation. Sometimes in agreeance. Sometimes in opposition.

It started raining as we walked in tonight... I love the rain. I love what it says. It's hard to hear over the music.

Vain men never hear anything but praise...

Smart men pay attention to the "taunts" too.

My man yells "Toast!" as I pour myself a glass...

As I pour myself out to myself. a

I've been in the club too long.
