«What's up, doc?»

Here's what I believe: We come into this world as some kind of starter kit. We are born with the tools and basic «stuff» necessary to create a complete human being. By complete human being I mean a being who has reached its full potential and is able to understand its purpose in the world.

I do believe in Divine Providence. Divine Providence is the force that flows through our hearts always – and will show itself when we are sober and at peace. Divine Providence is the sword that cuts through the world's falsehood. We have to make our hearts mirror the image of Divine Providence. This is one reason why I choose to call Future Whirl devotional music.

I have a deep sadness in my heart because of the recent wave of war and terror. I am not a believer in end time scenarios, but I think we're heading somewhere we didn't consciously intend to go, and don't want to go. An invisible hand is pulling us into the deeps, where darkness threatens to swallow us. Be a light in the world. Don't let yourself get pulled down.

I do believe in non-violence. Especially in this world we see that violence SIMPLY CAN'T be used as a means to bring about positive changes. Sure, it will create short term changes, but leaves wounds that some people believe can only be healed by counter-violence. Violence begets violence, it's an old adage, but it's true. Despite all its ills, «Western» society has some deep democratic structures that can be used to change things for the better. In the last couple of years, people have used them, and some good things have come from it.

That's what's up... and I am working on a piece called «Shining Ball». It's been in the making for a long time. It's for a special project, and it's been so hard to complete it. But I think it will be finished within the next two weeks.

Take care!
Bard
