allow band constant interact music open people present search stage
For me, it's always this constant battle and search when I'm out on stage as to where and when do I really open myself up to the people that are there. How do I let myself feel present in the space, and how do I allow myself to get into the music and interact with the band members.

People aren't religious because it's easy not to be. Like anything, it's habitual, and once it's a habit it's no longer hard.

I always knew I was different and that people had opinions about me. I guess I learned as best as I can to shield out a lot and live my life from within.

blow people
What blows me away most is how sure people are of themselves.

Vocal rest is awesome. It is like any kind of fast. Firstly, it is a purification of speech. It made me realize how not careful I am with the things I say. It also makes you find new ways of communication and new methods to connect with people.
people prove caught-up
People get so caught up in needing to know and having to prove themselves to be right, and I'm blown away by this.
people unbelievable
It's unbelievable to me how sure people can be of themselves.
thinking sight people

In Judaism, there are a lot of rules - everything from which fingernail you cut first to which side you sleep on in bed, to the way you get dressed in the morning, to actual ideas, like ideas about being chosen people or ideas about female/male and how to interact with people from the opposite sex.
