Change the World

Years ago, some music colleagues wrote the Eric Clapton song, “Change the World.” Great song that was recognized and awarded for its spirit, performance, message and beauty.

Attempting To Fill An Empty Space

I have often contemplated what empty spaces in life primarily motivate me or that I desire to fill. Perhaps the same is true of you.
