Every small thing I do now that is a refutation of what DJT and all who silently stand by and condone what he is, what he does and what he represents provides some personal solace.
Re solace and song writing
I think I wanted to write a song that might be recognized and enjoyed by a customer who was walking through the plant section on their way out of Ikea. Instead I think I ended up doing something other than that. Or I am beginning to accept that I did. It is to give voice to some of the emotions associated with loss. The loss of love and the loss of loved ones. And in doing so perhaps provide some solace.
I didn’t realize this until recently and I hope I’m not kidding myself in saying that because I’d really like it to be true - which makes it hard hard to be objective. And if it’s not that what else could it possibly be? And at this stage of doing so much of it for so long there would not be much solace in having to seek - and find - a different explanation.
