Some things change, some things don’t

My dog Lois: Some things in life change, and other things don’t.

Songwriting great Tom Paxton is running a Kickstarter campaign for his 61st music release. 61 projects of music. I’m guessing this is his first one to be crowd funded, which reminds us again how some things change; but some things don’t.

Tom Paxton is still chasing Muse, still participating in that wonderful literary conversation that any of us can join, as songwriters. That’s what the canon of music is, a continual conversation.

The power of music doesn’t change, no matter how it’s funded or shared. Neither will the necessity of putting in the hard work to find creative delights.

And that feeling of accomplishment when it’s ready to be shared? I think that will never change, either.

Let’s not lose focus of what doesn’t change; those are often the important parts of life.
