Some cells imagine,

sense what we’re meant to become,

say “trust the struggle.”

“We become what we believe.” I love that, and I think I might start writing from there. Also, very excited that Carrie Newcomer is the next guest. Her song “A Great Wild Mercy” is a fav of mine and kind or resonates well with the themes here.

We too carry a dream inside ourselves

of a different, better world.

Sipping my coffee and reading your words, I feel my imaginal cells glowing. Love you, James.
