four.

The sky is clear tonight. There’s a full moon, a few stars scattered across the sky, and a few clouds. I can’t remember the last time I just stopped and looked up. Maybe you’ve recently looked up with intent of finding something, seeing something, but when was the last time you just looked up? Tonight, it just felt natural. The reflections off of any mildly reflective surface astound me. It’s amazing to think of how bright and beautiful something so many miles away can be. I enjoy the night…particularly on nights like this. Since when did everything have to be complex to be appreciated? Why must people be pessimistic and discontent to receive attention? I’m not sure why, but right now, everything just feels right…not a worry in the world, not a care to crowd my mind…just pure freedom. Sight. Thought. Creativity. Love. All free. The way it has always been intended.

Did you not compose and conduct "Night" at Mesa College?

I have listend to that piece 10 time over the weekend. I wish I had a better recording than the video from the audience.
