I’m way out in space. I’m out there somewhere thinking how small things can be when you get the right perspective. And paradoxically, the smaller things get and the less I worry about things, the more meaningful and real everything becomes.

While I’m floating around up there fixing my spaceship, I procrastinate by writing songs. I have figured out how to send those songs back to you by augmenting the normal functionality of my communications array. It was originally set up to handle only text data, but now it carries audio and video, too.

It’s peaceful and beautiful out there in the void, but solitude has its limits. So I’m sending messages to you. They are songs, and lyrics, and musical ideas that haven’t been loved in a while or just need a little something extra. Maybe they just need a little encouragement? I’m not sure. But I think you might like them and you might even want to help me make them into something fuller and brighter.

If you can figure out how to send messages back to me, you can help me find my way around a song or two. We can write together. Maybe we’ll make something beautiful together. Maybe you’ll just listen to my messages and simply enjoy them for what they are.

Look up in the sky on a clear night and you might catch a glimpse of the light of the sun reflecting off the hull of my ship as I pass within communications range. When you see it, check your messages.
