October 15, 2020 Right from the start I’ll admit that this is going to get heavy. Mainly because what we’re attempting to walk through as a people, generation and nation has got to be replenished with a new source of seeds for a future harvest. Oops. Three of you have already dropped off. At least my mom is still here. Mom? On this podcast episode I bring up a term that flowed through me at 5 this...

October 12, 2020 An open honest question. One heavily inspired by the actions and reactions of regular everyday people physically trying to communicate. Have we convinced ourselves to expect this day and every day to be another twenty four hours of doom and gloom?
