I have been inspired lately by a couple artists. Ren, a Welsh singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, rapper, and producer -and BassForge (Tyler Engle) who is a “multidisciplinary sound designer and music producer exploring the intersection of vibration, resonance, and consciousness.”. What do they have in common?
They piercingly observe. They are both deeply curious and ask the big questions and share what they discover.
Ren has a gift for transmuting and transforming suffering into compassion and art. He shares the truth of his experience in this world with such raw openness and fullness that it reaches and penetrates right to the heart of our own experience. As a result, we are no longer separate!
BassForge is using his interests and gifts to help others look deeper at what we might ordinarily not notice at all. To consider how science and spirituality meet. To remove barriers to deeper knowing.
In this era of artificial content, deception, escape and diversion (from ourselves and others), they both mirror essential human qualities: humility, sincerity, connection, joy and enthusiasm! They explore the mysteries within and without. Their work seems to be deeply personal but with the underlying intention to be useful and beneficial.
They inspire me to keep taking the deep dives. To beware of closing the doors of exploration through the “I know” attitude. To explore with curiosity and wonder!
What can we find when we ask the big questions? When we turn the light inward? When we deeply consider another? What types of expression may lie dormant within us? Waiting to be utilized? What is possible with this precious human life? How exciting!

I will leave us with Mary Oliver’s inspiring words:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.
