Gravity Is Calling

My daughter in law got in touch a while ago. Today’s song, Gravity Is Calling had come up on my son’s Spotify while they were driving. She hadn’t heard it before, and told me how brilliant she thought it was.

So it’s official. I’m brilliant! Who doesn’t want to hear that? Of course, like everything, brilliance is often in the eye of the beholder. One person’s “brilliant!” is another persons “meh!”. But you can’t deny it … I’m still brilliant.

And yet ….. how much credit do I actually deserve for that “brilliance”, as much as it’s nice to hear it said?

I don’t think very much at all. In fact none. I’m of the belief that when that song was written, I couldn’t have done anything other than write that song. It was the culmination of everything that had gone before. Everything. And I didn’t have any control over it. was just the vessel through which that present happening was happening. I didn’t know I would do it, until I did it.

And you may well disagree. But tell me … what’s the next thought that is going to come into your head? And where is the point at which you are in control of any of that?
