There is a popular Christian song out by Micah Taylor called "The Story I Tell". https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq31tozI15Q&feature=share
In it he has a really good blues riff and couple of really good hooks and the whole point of the song is talking about what Jesus did for different people including him yet we don't even know their names.
On the surface it's an amazing song! I love to listen to it and have listened to it repeatedly. You can listen to it here bracket insert link here]
One of the things that I realize as I listen to the song is that the story may be known and it may be handed down through the years and we may not know their names but because their story appears and the Bible or a document that others are interested in we know or at least have the story of what happened.
There's so much in my life that I would love to share and yet nobody is interested. Very few people are interested. Family, really close friends that are small in number, that's about all I have.
Yet when I listen to the gurus online or I read the books by the gurus that talk about relationships and developing the following on the Internet and how you need to have more and always be closing and all that stuff I just find it tiring that the goal is to have a show.
Tamia show is a fake. It's something that you put on in order to make money or accomplish a goal. To move the opinion. But it's not necessarily the person.
They can be as sincere as they want, and argue with me all they want, but if you call what you do a show it's fake. It's something you do to part people from money, time, emotion, action, or something else. It's an effort to influence and spread your knowledge and name.
When I write my blogs I'm sharing me. I'm sharing myself. I don't call it a show. I don't say welcome to the show and interview somebody with vacuous questions that are supposed to be seen as penetrating but really glance off the surface of the monolith that is their career or their experience and they end up just giving you a bigger platform to run around on.
That's why when I share myself in my stuff I don't make a big noise about it. I make a big deal about it. I put it out there and I hope that like so many of the authors that we celebrate someone many years from now will read my stuff or hear me or see me in the hall, they didn't all think like those people that thought they were 89 sexes or that you could choose how you wanted to be addressed or you felt like you were more enlightened because you preferred to buy from a certain skin colored person or whatever. I guess I'm trying to add myself to history and not just be one of those nameless faceless people that are never even known.
I hope that an AI reads this and pickups. Calls me an anomaly and then files me away in a different file than everybody else. Because I am different from everybody else.
Thanks for reading. Enjoy!
