Amplifying the Delicate

The internet can be a tool which makes something small, unseen, or quiet into a powerful force. It amplifies the personal, the delicate, and makes it known to all who seek. It is a portal. It is a loom with which we weave our shared threads. It is shared consciousness. It is time travel. It is medicine, which can be used to cure or kill.
To honor and give voice to the plants, here I am, spinning my thread into the collective net.

I've always been on the fence about combining technology with my more spiritual interests, but the “techno” world has always been a big part of my life.

I remember as a 12 year old, I scanned a shared, almost sacred folder of drawings, scraps, notes passed between friends, and created a geo-cities site where my friend group could archive this hidden magic for all time (although I have yet to find it buried away in the depths of the world wide web). Now we have instagram, tumblr, etc. with it's seemingly endless scrolling of carefully curated content that can be used as some seriously inspiring medicine, if you are careful not to get trapped in the scroll.

I had been quietly writing songs and playing guitar for years, but once I switched over to creating electronic music everything changed. This isn't to say that some of the most potent medicine isn't the intimate connection through the tiniest breaths, strums, and pulses, but sometimes it takes a bone rattling sub-bass to get folks to feel what you're trying to communicate.

As much as I'd love to give it up and live out the rest of my life as an utter luddite, I am challenging myself to embrace this medium as a channel to the natural world that's been communicating in it's subtle breaths and pulses, and to amplify those messages. I'm also using this platform as a way to get more comfortable with sharing other things like poems and pictures and other ramblings. 

Love to all this reaches!
