For to do things with care is the closest thing to love that I know the cape of grace falling softly about the shoulders as we focus on the task at hand whether it be to listen or to leave or to learn. |
I ended my mail-order business, and I made that decision with regret, because my whole goal is to make my music available to people, not the opposite. But I couldn't handle it. I couldn't get the freedom I needed as an independent artist. |
I feel a huge release since I made this decision. I sold my house a few days ago, and I'm ready to start a new life. I don't need much money, because I've stripped things down to what's basic. |
