'Tis the winter season. Well... it's February, so yeah, this is a fact. Cold, dark days that encourage us to hunker down and take cover under a warm, snuggly blanket. And then there is the symbolism of winter. As in "the winter of our discontent" and the "dark days of winter". Individually and collectively, it is a season where we are sitting with the darkness... trying to make sense of it all. Particularly, in this season of our nation's evolution, we are facing the most extreme case of conflicting moral vision. We are struggling to see the light as to where we are going... together. And... what I know... what I believe... is that the light, though maybe not visible at the time, always exists. We open our eyes to it and put our feet to the path.
I love Plato's analogy:
"As goodness stands in the intelligible realm to intelligence and the things we know, so in the visible realm the sun stands to sight and the things we see."
Plato is naming the sun "goodness"... the sun being the foundation on which all other truth rests. The sun... "the good"... sheds light on knowledge so that our minds can see true reality.
The sun is POWER. And not just symbolically. It is a real, physical, abundant, eternal source of energy for us and our planet.
So... this song. "Invisible Sun" by The Police. Not just a cool song that we've always loved, but one that represents our deepest beliefs and values. And hope.
While I will continue my solo vocalist/songwriter ventures, there is such great power, reward, and joy in stepping up this collaboration with my soul mate, Eric. Montgomery Jones is not only a symbiotic union musically... moving forward, we will be sharing lots more of ourselves, combining music, message, and mission. Live events as well as video and online. This includes our involvement with solar... helping to "panel the planet". The beauty is in seeing everything connect! Our musical gifts aligning with our passion for love and joy in life... and the health and well-being of humanity and planet.
Enjoy the video! More to come.... :-)
Blessings Always,
Lauri
