There are lots of ways to express what's truly in your heart.
When I am with the Tragically Hip, I experience more than your basic rock show. I experience a formless presence that is intimate and electric. Like the Hip and I merge into One just for those few hours. Beyond the worlds that exists outside that theater. This, I feel, is a true talent. To conjure up (allow) the unknown, like magicians. To bring forth a presence so big, so awe-inspiring that my mind cannot grasp it's formlessness. This expansion of my consciousness rubberbands my nervous system, streches it out beyond anything it has yet known. In this place we are all equal. We have no identities. We have no titles or really, any beliefs at all. We just ARE. There is joy in every moment.
Good for you, Tragically Hip. You love what you do and it shines
for us all.
A lighthouse doesn't convince boats to seek its harbor. Rather, it just shines and allows its light to fall on the shadows where it may. If your light that simply shines attracts a bug or moth only, then so be it. If it resonates with the bows of a hundred ships, then so be that also, without holding any grievance in mind for harboring either moth or ship.
