no woman, no cry.

i am still not up to writing a blog about my trip.
but i can assure you it's coming soon.


however, i will tell you that there is nothing in the world like listening to bob marley in the car when you're alone. his music does not replace my favorite artists, it's just different. i feel at peace when i listen to his words. and i know he did too when he played them. i love that. i am aware that much of his peace came from exponential amounts of weed. but my peace comes from God. and its beautiful. my soul is nourished by this man's music, and it reminds of the peace we're striving for and the peace that's been given freely to us. how cool is that? so cool.

but it gets cooler.

He had this idea. It was kind of a virologist idea. He believed that you could cure racism and hate... literally cure it, by injecting music and love into people's lives. When he was scheduled to perform at a peace rally, a gunman came to his house and shot him down. Two days later he walked out on that stage and sang. When they asked him why - He said, "The people, who were trying to make this world worse... are not taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness."


he understood.
and i want to.

so i'll keep listening.
