Something Like Euphoria
Pulled another all-nighter and I'm still awake. My long awaited Friday Favecast episode featuring Eric Roberson, has just dropped on the site and on iTunes. Aside from the sleep deprivation, I am beyond ecstatic. I dreamed about this day. What it would feel like. How the sense of accomplishment would wash over my senses as I set out to turn a thought in my mind into an incredible tangible.
I love soul music and I have a deep appreciation for Erro's contributions to the genre. My hope was simply to have him on the show one day. I never dreamed I would do it the week of what is perhaps his biggest musical milestone ever. I didn't take into account how our conversation would be just as much about the challenges of being a man as it was about his latest album. There was no way I could have predicted how smooth, encouraging and uplifting our exchange would be.
So here I am: exhausted, elated, happy, joyous, borderline lethargic, exuberant, vivrant, excited, fatigued, sedated, blessed, empowered. . .simultaneously.
We all have the power to create with the words we speak. I created this moment with my words years ago and consistency helped turn it to reality. It's not just about talking with one of the most influential soul artists in my life, it's about recognizing the power we all have to create something beautiful from the air we breathe.
Now I just need a nap.
Until next time. . .
