Dear Anonymous,
Brian on his four string Takamine.
His songs have stayed with me since I heard them yesterday. Looks like we have rustled up some strings for him. Loving how he used the coffee card as a pick. So great to hear him create his music. And his music is full of human stuff. Love. Betrayal. Cut throatedness. And love again.
There's a lot of hurt out here. Old trauma seemingly recreated each day, with each trigger. Substance abuse issues. Mental health issues. Everyones' hustle for what they need to get through the day. Some able to access services. Some not. Some able to climb off the streets. Some not able or motivated to climb anywhere.Some that disappear and I think the worse. Sometimes they show back up, with a smile.
