INSPIRATION

I stumbled on this video "Jacob and the Guitar Man" a few hours ago and it made my day.  Jacob is an autistic kid who is also blind, and clearly loves music.  The way he gravitated toward Tyler Gregory and his music on the streets of Lawrence, KS is powerful.  It definitely stirred something in my soul to see such clear purpose, intent, attraction, and love.  A clear reminder that sometimes having differences that some people consider "disabilities" actually allows one to be more closely connected to the things that really matter in life, and experience pleasure and joy in ways that we perhaps can only imagine.  Anyway, enough from me.  Here's the video:

Tyler Gregory

Definitely check out Tyler Gregory's response on his website.  I love the way he described his interaction with Jacob.  We need more people to testify about the mysterious exchange between people that constitutes the backbone of life.   Also, how can you not love a guy busking on the streets of Kansas, trying to sell enough CDs to buy an RV that runs off waste vegetable oil so he can tour and play more music?  Seriously, that alone is worth supporting him.  To read about his response, click here.
