There”s a dance floor always beneath my feet, sometimes in the kitchen, sometimes on the sand, sometimes in the backyard or wherever they land
With each step to a new beat, sometimes I wonder if they’re my feet, moving to the music I listen to, even when my spirit is feeling used.
you’re awesome, John Lee!
Aww you’re too kind, thank you!
love this!
Here’s just something to read..
Death of Me

The lyrics by Collective Soul,
“So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
Cause it’s the world I know
Oh it’s the world I know ”
Just hits different sometimes..
I fully understand, John! It’s a complicated world! Thx for checking in. Hope you’re doing well!
Absolutely, and I’m sorry you and Terry has fallen victim to such complicated world. But there’s no doubt that you two and the Hookist family will bounce back stronger than before. Keep your head up and spirit free!
No more protests causing harm, I love you all
Things are bit spicy
I’ll stay back, but am watching
I respect your decision to end the collaboration, but I find it disappointing, that people would be uncomfortable with the collaboration subject to the point of wanting to end it. If the topic is not your thing, why not just sit this one out instead of ruffling feathers and creating a situation for Meredith and Terry where they have to refund credits and break ties with the collaborator.

I respect your decision to end the collaboration, but I find it disappointing, that people would be uncomfortable with the collaboration subject to the point of wanting to end it. If the topic is not your thing, why not just sit this one out instead of ruffling feathers and creating a situation for Meredith and Terry where they have to refund credits and break ties with the collaborator. EVERYONE has a cultural background. Not every song is going to appeal to everyone, and purchasing credits and contributing are optional. If you don’t like the subject, wait for the next one. I’m sorry that Meredith and Terry were put in this position. Just my opinion.
Thex so much for your support, Linda. I can say we’ve never had an experience like this. Ever. If there was anything else we could have done, we would have. And we tried. Honestly, we’re still processing the experience, but rest assured, all the players were involved in the decision and we did not have to break ties. Thx once again for the support and your good energy and beautiful lyrics.
Art doesn’t trump harm caused
The world is filled with rivers and shivers. Sometimes the spirals spin us dizzy. Discomfort disorients. We plod on.
I have much respect for both of you, Terry and Meredith. We work for a world where no good deed needs to bleed. The struggle is the substance.
Thank you so much for these beautiful words and your wonderful support and encouragement! We are so grateful to you and everyone who has written and posted and commented! This has been quite the experience and your words are more on point that you can imagine!
Ok! No problem! But fleeting poems wander in and out of my brain so quickly… 😝
So sorry. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do.
It’s looking like we’re going to have to take a little hiatus. So sorry, guys. Will share more info when we have it.
I am so sorry guys. Hope to have more info for you soon.
