An intimate moment from the ending of @recklessson when I performed the show there this summer...

Music, and my life, really felt like it had run its course and arrived at a dead end until...

And if you’re watching this, maybe this is your little poke to say “keep doing what you’re doing!"

It’s been said we find peace through great love or great suffering . . .
