What I Still Believe

There can be undoubtedly, a deluge of information in our media spheres eliciting outrage, sorrow and despair. Through the lense of media overwhelm, it can seem that there is nothing to cherish and nothing to believe in, it can seem that there is only sham, exploitation and brutality.

There are these things. They do exist.

What do I believe against this backdrop? Despite the deep suffering that leaves us perplexed and dejected, I believe that it is still a beautiful world. I believe in the power of music and art, and songs in particular, to elevate, to soothe and to make sense of the world. Thankfully, music can take us to sacred places and for me, this has happened time and time and time again.
