Rehumanize. That was the word running through my brain last night. Don’t be such a angry robot, as is foretold in those Ghost in the Machine songs. I’m glad I threw that back into my cd player yesterday.
It reminds me of my previous ideas about a journey versus destination approach to fulfillment. It’s my hopping from solution to solution which is really more than half the point, although I do need those landing pads to hop from.

So last night it was Rehumanize I was landing on. And it had a slightly different meaning to me than in previous listenings. It was about letting go, not forcing, not using negativity to accomplish things. And I noticed how nicely it dovetailed with my previous blog’s (1/06) enumerated points. It was a more soulful, organic version of trusting that my hands know what they’re doing and being open to seemingly unrelated muscle groups participating in the music-making (goings-on). It encompassed those things and much more, plus it seemed less like mental trickery and more like spiritual comfort.
