A beautiful woman is carrying my baby, carrying her baby... carrying a baby. A person created by two people growing inside one of those people who helped to create that person... It blows my mind every time I think about it.
Gina, a woman who I love, has committed to one of the most challenging yet beautiful acts of creation there could possibly be. Nurturing and protecting a life inside her body until the day arrives (approximately the 24th July!!) when that very life will join us in the world outside the womb. Does that growth only lie with the mother though?
Something is growing inside me too. I never imagined it to be so subtle but I feel that not only is that baby growing inside Gina, connected to her, but it is also growing inside me too. Connected to me through an energetic link. I can feel their growth and how they feel inside... they feel happy. That baby feels peace and LOTS of love.
We are all growing together and this creates such a connected feeling of the purest love there could be. I feel like we're changing the world.

Fatherhood and Babies
Feeling and BEING music
I had a rehearsal last night with my band SAY. Sometimes there are feelings that just cannot be explained and last night created such an immense and uplifting feeling, that it has left me positively buzzing with energy. The smile on my face is constant enough without it being enhanced by a ridiculously amazing rehearsal. It felt as though everything suddenly came together... even though it has come together before, something gelled it this time. No proper PA to speak of, borrowed amps, not enough leads or microphones yet STILL despite all of that- we managed to play some music that would make The Beatles boogie on their clouds.
I feel such an enormous sense of pride and joy about SAY which is both musically revolutionary and wonderfully comfortable to be a part of. The people in it I love so much (something i was initially scared of due to my past experience of friendships) and could not imagine the world without them. Rob, Maria, Karl and George are some of the most beautiful and awesome people this world has ever seen and I feel privileged and eternally grateful for their presence in my life- even if the band didn't exist... but it does!! Which makes it all the more special to me.
I still feel encompassed by the feeling and belief that one day we will be performing on another planet... maybe it's going to be another dimension...
