15: Pivot... maybe?

Wellbeing is realized by small steps, but it is no small thing.  -Zeno, founder of Stoicism

As I soak in the beauty out here at our cabin (listen to last week's podcast for a song partially inspired by said beauty) I find it almost silly that I was having such a hard time existing last week.  If and when I take a step back, it becomes clear that my tasks are utterly trivial.  But maybe that trivial nature is part of the source of my despair.  I long to make a splash, but instead I make drops in dear Liza's leaky bucket.  I have to zoom out to remember that 'nothing is lost on the breath of God,' meaning those water droplets out of her bucket are going somewhere... watering some earth I may never know about... growing something.

I'm thinking again about pivoting... the podcast really isn't growing/working.  Perhaps I could make an episode every time I finish a new song... part of my problem historically has been that I always want to move on to the next thing... I'm almost never quite proud enough of my previous project to take the time to market it effectively.  How do I solve this?  Market research?  Emerson suggests that listening inward to the still small voice may produce the answer.  Too often I run about making so much noise that the still small voice is drowned out and its directional guidance goes utterly unheeded.

Today I suggest listening to my song 'Mere Mortals.' Here is the band camp link: https://lightninglucas.bandcamp.com/track/meremortals

 And here is the song embedded in a podcast episode which I have not reviewed recently but let's assume it's good: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/holdthatnote/episodes/83-The-Peter-Song-and-Mere-Mortals-e1p96it
Turns out it also features the Peter song, which I will be playing on May 4th with my first ever backing band consisting of several of my good friends.. I am calling us "Lightning Lucas and the Thunderstorm Warnings." Check out the event page here:

'Longer Than It Should' inaugural blog post

 Greetings friend, Just writing to say that I'm finally feeling productive again, at least a little bit.  I really feel this time that I might be, no, I am... close, ever so close to a tipping point.  The songs are all there, many of them even have decent recordings... perhaps the sheer quantity is actually a detriment to the best ones.  And people love the podcast... at least a few of them do.  And a few is a lot considering the listenership is still so low.  And so I'm setting out again on another medium: the blog.  I've done this before, but as usual it didn't get anywhere.  The difference may be the fact that I discovered that Google's hosts blogs... one has to assume that Google's hosting is better than Groove's. The point of the blog is to promote the entire Lightning Lucas ecosystem.  To glue it all together.  Things that may be included: bonus thoughts on the podcast episodes, new comedy bit ideas, old song lyric snippets that I dig up, and much more

005: On Expectations

 Greetings friend, Last night my family had the privilege of attending the Eastern Mennonite School production of Fiddler on the Roof.  I highly recommend it, and there are two showings left (tonight and tomorrow). https://www.easternmennonite.org/tickets-for-ems-events/ I went into the show with some apprehension because I absolutely love Fiddler on the Roof, and EMS is a small school, so I thought perhaps they wouldn't be able to do it justice.  I'm pleased to say that I was thoroughly incorrect. There is a phenomenon that I've noticed: sometimes we don't understand what our expectations are until they are exceeded or dashed.  Yesterday's musical was not one of those occasions for me.  I intentionally lowered my expectations, but then I felt certain they would be exceeded after just the first song. Today's song I'll share comes from an experience visiting my brother at Hesston College.  It sort of speaks for itself.  The album it's on was an exercise i

10: Is There Another Way?

I recently heard someone claim that the only way to become a good writer or podcaster is to follow the beaten path.  He compared it to attempting to become a chess master.  In other words, he thinks the paths to success are obvious if you can stand their rigor.   For whatever reason, I think I'm the exception to such rules.  I believe I can find a different way, a better way.   Unfortunately, the person who made the above claim was Cal Newport, and I tend to trust his opinions.   Fortunately, Cal is not on board with many productivity gurus who would say you have to work a ridiculously intense schedule and post about it non-stop all over the internet.   The internet is a blessing and a curse of course.  I'm old enough to remember when it was slow... beeeeeeeebooooobeeep (I'm talking dial-up slow)... but really, I've come of age with the internet.  At least I've grown up... the internet doesn't show any signs of slowing down... it keeps evolving, and I have stag
