"Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from
the eyes of woman." -Ludwig Van Beethoven
Last night was unreal. The Wiltern Theater in LA had a private benefit concert... Tim Reynolds and Dave Matthews.
I still am stumbling through feeble words attempting to convey it.

...last night revealed that innate design unique in humans.
Starting with Bartender and building unrelentingly richer and more powerful verses swimming in deep and breathtaking waves of incredible sound... The show was unbelievable, three sacred hours non-stop.
The gift of being reminded the depth to which we are able to experience that deep stirring that compels adoration, adulation, awe, worship.... is what leaves me fumbling and stuttering through weak, inadequate words.
That place of being lost and abandoned to one thing is sanctified ground.... it transcends the binding of flesh and blood and touches something uncontainable, indescribable.
It's the place that says, this is it... this is the essence of our being... this is the design we fit into.
To worship.
