Tomorrow…

Hello to you. I am super excited to share that after a long voyage, going deep within myself and coming out unscathed, haha, I am going to be able to play my violin in public tomorrow at a nice art gallery in Galveston, TX. My artwork is on display as well, so you could say tomorrow I am officially multi-talented. Amen. Thanks to each of you for your kind support and it would be awesome to see some familiar faces, but no pressure to show up, only if you have the time and interest.

That said, how are you these days? I can only speak for myself when I say I am doing very well. In other news, my feeling is that things are moving in a new direction in the world we live in. That could be said about every passing day, with the exception that from my perspective, people just seem lighter in mood and happier. Amen.

Could it be the acceptance of one another? Could it be that people are reading good books that help elevate their spirit for the approaching day? Who knows? I’m just saying people seem happier. Amen.

That said, what are we doing with our lives? Are we totally in love with each moment? Are we living with passion and love in our activities. Or, is their something we left behind, possibly years ago, a talent or something else of interest. Is it coming back to us? Amen.

Well, I can say that purchasing a violin just before Christmas was like me uniting with an old friend. I haven’t put him down since buying him, Leonard, the violin. Me and Leonard have big plans ahead, but know that we can only get there through love and dedication. Maybe you will see me and Leonard on stage one day. Who knows?

What does my relationship with the violin mean for me and The Texan, my viola? (Yes, I call my viola “The Texan” as it was made in a shop in Texas.) Well, who knows. I love the viola and enjoy playing it, but the violin and I seem to be taking off together. So, it could mean a change in relationship with the viola. Amen.

I am hoping to play more than just at the gallery, like having recitals and the types of performances. Amen. We will see where it all goes, but I’m stoked.

Ah, I have something very important to share with you. It was a revelation of sorts for me. I realized that my love for playing the violin is what I have been reading about for so long. Meaning, I am love when play the violin. I am love when talking with people. I am love. Amen.

One of the books I have read said, ask yourself honestly, “How do you do the things you do?” So, I thought about this and found a time to ask myself that question, and I happened to be playing the violin at that time. I honestly had no idea how I was doing what I was doing. And that answered many questions.

One, we are the created, not the Creator. How can I know what I am doing as the created? Well, I can tell you one thing, I know I love to play the violin, and that means I’m love. When I play, I’m love!!! How much appreciation I have for the Creator in this moment. To give me such a gift. Amen. Thank you, God.

Do any of you get lost in your creations. Lost in a good way, in the experience of creation. Art, dance, music, etc. To where you are just love expressing itself. Some call it “the flow”. I call it “love”. Amen.

Does this sound familiar at all? Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. But my feeling tells me we all know what love is, in our own way. Amen.

That said, come out if you can tomorrow. I’m playing at the AOP Gallery (Art on Postoffice) in Galveston, TX. I’ll start around 11 or so and play on and off for at least a few hours. Amen.

Hope to see you there!!!

Have a wonderful day,

Love,

Travis
