All it takes is a quick glance at how life works to know that, we all, indeed, are in for a long, rough, unpredictable ride.

FORTUNES AND FUTURES

Bad things happen to good people all the time, good things happen to awful people just as well and often, and that is shocking. On the other hand, when good things happen to good people, we smile in approval. Then, when bad people face dreadful situations, without hesitation we think they deserve it, it is karma at work, we immediately scream, and smile broadly at the same time.

I do not believe in destiny, why would I, why would anybody?. All it takes is a quick glance at how life works to know that, we all, indeed, are in for a long, rough, unpredictable ride. Fortunes and futures, who really knows?, Not me, not you. However much Lenora, the Fortune-Teller in the corner of 2nd and Malecon, wants me to believe otherwise.

BEING PART OF IT

I have realized that the world has become a big scary place, unmanageable, full of angry people. I have to learn to let go, and try not to solve the world's problems if I want to live a comfortable life, but to see the lack of concerns within the new generations is very disappointing and that, it's more difficult to forgive. As a whole, people have become something I do not want to be part of. Is that to straightforward?, Perhaps it is, however, isolation right now it's what I need. Who knows what's to come?, Tomorrow I might change my mind.

Time seems to have accelerated, life does not suppose to go by that fast, and I overwhelm myself with this awful feeling, as if I was born in the wrong place at the wrong time. But I do not want to be dwelling in impossibilities and make life more difficult that it already, according to me, appears to be. Once I turned fifty though, it feels like years are "flying by", and it is because I've found, they are proportionally smaller chunks of my overall experience.

20+80=100

I use music to address my fears, doubts, concerns, it is a great way to cope with life. However, music tells me little or nothing about the future, only than perhaps, comforting me about the unknown when I need it. Music does not give me a blueprint, but it could offer me a reading of my aspirations, and the power to navigate the path ahead. It shows me where I am, what I am feeling, and what I'm striving for or against, all of which shapes the future I happen to be creating.

I do not usually tell anybody my problems because, 20% don't care and 80% are glad I have them. But I do want to share my compositions, and this time, I had put together a piece that advises listeners to be cautious. Never share your regrets, pains, resentments. This piece of music, is an invitation to think to yourself what's to come in your life, to make a deep and honest attend to reason. Do not be confused or afraid by what you'd see in the world, and no matter what, do not celebrate stupidity. This too shall passed.

BAD THINGS GOOD THINGS

Bad things happen to good people all the time, what's to come in life, hope or fear?. Good things happen to bad people, what's to come in life, outraged or praise?. But who's to blame?. This piece I've composed it is also a reminder that if you have a gift, you should be giving till it hurts, be the light that shines in the face of a dark day, do not celebrate stupidity; because, who knows what's to come?
