These days, I don't listen to the KISS records that often (though I still have them). The record collection is vast, and while I have much to listen to, when it comes down to it, my ultimate musical hero is John Coltrane. Meditative, powerful, gentle, contemplative, searching, spiritual... Coltrane's music is a consistent way for me to access the “greater than.” It levels the wings, slows everything down, and almost instantly puts things into perspective. For that, I am forever grateful to this genius of modern music.
We are often encouraged to be assertive, productive, powerful, etc. And sometimes the situation calls for all of that. But we do need to let down sometimes; to let go of ego and know that as big as we are, we are small in the grand scheme. Knowing that is true power. All of this is impermanent, everything is rented. Let's enjoy the heck out of it while we're here.
