I told Alixa and Naima (because I believe it) that I feel closer to God when I am with them.  What it is, is I feel more myself, more creative, when I’m with them.  It is a beautiful realization to have while on tour – to see the God in me.

My college friend told me during my Thanksgiving fast that “Coincidences are God’s way of remaining anonymous.”  And what did I see that evening, while using the men’s restroom in some hole in the wall spot in New Orleans but a message written on the towel dispenser that reads: “Here I am, Sorry.”  Okay, God, I’m listening.

So here it is.  We have two more Hurricane Season shows before returning to Brooklyn – Atlanta and Washington DC.  I am sure I will need a new tattoo on my left wrist to represent this journey.  Tattoos have been my way of marking chapters in my life.  Wonder what I’ll get…
