way good life with Eli Shackelford eli

Another poem generated from another walk. Cause, come on, that's where most of the magic happens. 'It's Always Been Rising' is a reference to smoke from one of the most famous Hebrew scriptures...About a guy who happened upon a bush that was on fire, but not being burnt up.
It is always rising.
They are always speaking.
Blessings.

Started this little poem on a walk with my dog Patch. I was overwhelmed by the goodness and grace of life. Enjoy.

So...This one sat in my computer for a bit. Didn't feel finished. Not even close. Not even close to close. Just a couple of thoughts about some of the best people I've known. Not finished. The title might be the best part. This is about my friends in the disability community, but I don't do them justice and I can't possibly communicate how much they've changed my life. But. It's been the block to my podcast- so time to unblock. Here we go. Blessings.

I used to have a yellow canoe. It was a rehabbed canoe, like some of you. This episode is the beginning of some thoughts on broken systems and messed up processes. Cause life is way good, but sometimes we miss it, mess it up, and lose our way. This is the beginning of some thoughts on restructuring, reclaiming, and reimagining how life could go even better.

Here's a new track from my buddy Tayler Lacey.

My family plays hard. Whether we're wrestling on the living room floor or exploring through the mountains...but this big snow? Enough is enough. We've had at least a foot more since I recorded this. I was shoveling this morning! The snow's not really the point though. It's how much each of us can handle and why we need each other to carry some of the load. We're about healthy over here at Way Good Life. It will be a constant effort to let things go and pursue the good. Tunes by my buddy Tayler Lacey. Blessings.    

Way Good Life! This episode comes from a song that spoke to me about life, love, goodness, and grace...So come out my people. There's a place and a space for you and it's better than you know. 

How do people perceive your perception of them? 

How do we change this? 

How do we welcome and call our people to come out? 

I know we need them all.  We need you. Them. Those. And all the rest.
