The No Impact Man Movie

Thanks to everybody who came out in the frightful weather to enjoy the movie of The No Impact Man Project. For me there will always be a fear - what if you throw a party and nobody comes?

Even with the weather the audience exceeded our original expectations - and the conversation following did as well.

Joe, Karin, Jamie and the Sioux Falls Green Project - much love. Let's do this again sometime, somehow.

Taproot!

It's sort of like church. You know, a long service punctuated by singing. If it helps you go ahead and stand up for the songs. I think I've got 3 (maybe 4) left on this theme.

Since the new year I’ve sort of discovered Taproot. Yesterday I dug into their lyrics to see if there might be something there that was making me like them. Wow. I had no idea.

Comeback

With my eyes closed I propose a toast,
To myself to find the time to ask my Lord and galaxy
To point me in the right direction,
I got my foot in the door,
I gotta keep on writin' and stay planted to this world,
Before I can take off

So I pray,
And wait for a sign from my guides,
They help me proceed as I lay,
And dream of my future,
I miss those times

I

I’m seeing tunnel vision in a world that's dark and cold,
I cannot believe how much I've changed since the days of old,
I know, it's temporary but I need to focus straight,
I cannot believe I lost control of my fate,

I need forgiveness from the people I truly care about,
I need support behind my back to help me spit it out
I am gonna win, I can't afford to blow this one,
I hate myself sometimes,
I love myself,
I need this way of life because it holds me.

Myself

If life was a game could I win in the end
And if I was sane, would I kcuf it up all over again
These questions and answers can help me redefine myself
And I thank your open ears for all their help

no more shame
is what I see for myself
I need to change for my health
I need a better way of life for myself

if I stay the same how long will I last
yet if I change will I still just be alone and typecast
professional answers cant help me to design myself
so I thank your open arms for all their help

Poem

Overbearing panic attack entrenching my veins
In an hour I'll be okay
I pray this pain will go away permanently someday
I've seen more than
I should have to
I've seen this on my own

This song is a poem to myself
It helps me to live
In case of fire, break the glass
And move on into your own, your own

that is an amazing piece. I have a friend who will benefit from it. I'm sending it to them right away. God does have a perfect sense of timing....

Well you might as well point your friend to Jonah chapter 2 as well. These lyrics and that chapter are surprisingly similar.
