Take a minute...

The art school a couple of towns over decorates pianos and puts them on the sidewalk for anyone to play.

Today a homeless man who had enjoyed some adult beverages was wildly banging away.

I took his hand and positioned his fingers.

Next I asked him topress those three keys gently.

The look on his face and the shift in his body language was incredible.

With my hand on his shoulder and in a quiet tone I said “Good job! That’s a C chord, that’s where we start”.

He didn’t say a word and as I walked away listened as he played the chord and then the individual notes.

The whole thing might have taken three minutes….

Often we just walk by...

Sometimes we stop for a minute…

Stop for a minute...

New mercies...

It's still early…

At around 8:30 AM it is early in the day.

It's Tuesday and therefore still early in the week.

Every morning you get new mercies.

You can extend those new mercies to any time of day.

A brand new, fresh moment to get it right…

What would getting it right look like right now?

No more carbs today?

Sit with your note book and catch up on your journal?

Practice your guitar?

Write your lover a note because it’s been way to long since you wrote your lover a note?

What if you turned that longing and head knowledge into actual action?

What if you did it right now?

Its still early...
