Start Where You Are

by Gary Powell

We all live under many different kinds of restrictions including social, familial, emotional and almost always financial. If we stumble in even beginning our artistic endeavors it is prudent advice for us all to simply start wherever we are with whatever resources we can garner.

Wherever you are is the entry point - Kabir, Musician Saint of India

In the meantime, nurture your music and career in the arts with patience and discipline with the understanding that someday someone just may stop and take your picture simply because you are so magnificently rooted.

(I stopped my car to take the photo of this magnificent Texas pecan tree while driving La Bahia Scenic Highway which is Texas FM 390 near William Penn, Texas. As far as I know, this tree was doing well even before I noticed it and it doesn’t have an agent and has never been on TV.)

    Loved this Blog Gary. Short, sweet, and straight to the point! I hope I am this rooted. I do feel as though I am. Thank you…

    I LOVE it when you write this way; it is why Maybe I’m It, Maybe I’m Not, will forever be one of my favorite books. Your final sentence is priceless!

    I can’t believe you saw that tree in Texas. It looks so Asian to me. Reminds me of a bonsai.
