Connecting - one person at a time
Tonight I attended a round one session of a songwriter contest at A Bar Named Sue. At the end of the evening, a vote was held to see which two songwriters would advance to the next round - three judges' votes were given half weight, while the crowd's votes were given the other half weight. A lady named M. J. and myself were selected to proceed to the next round!
It's now May 3, early morning, and I am ready to go to sleep. I was about to write "today was a great day", but what I mean is "yesterday was a great day!" Yesterday was a great day - I connected with Judith, a recent acquaintance, over coffee. I felt we got along very well, it was great to talk with her, and I plan to do so again! She quit her job to take a small vacation to Jasper with a friend from Quebec. I love that about her.
At the Sue Bar, after our song sets, I connected with singer/songwriter Billy. I think Billy and I got along tonight because he is in a place where he is not quite following his heart. He realizes it, and it excited me to talk with him in this state. I have been there before. I may be there again. Billy had been to Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia - years ago - and feels his heart aching to be on the road again, playing more music, and finding happiness from simple things. I could relate to him. I have a feeling I'll be seeing Billy again in the near future.
