Today is St Patrick’s Day. This holiday has become something that I have grown to love more and more for my own set of reasons. The band that I run with has a 3-hour traditional Irish set that we perform this time of year. It’s a real blast and I’ve come to love the songs and the playing of them with people so close to me. I wanted to do a song for St. Patrick’s Day.

On a separate note, I’ve been thinking a lot about psychopaths lately. They move through society so easily. It’s as though us normies are somehow enamored with them. It seems like they ascend to the highest points of our institutions and society with such ease. It’s like most of us are under a spell, and these psychos just have the run of the place.

I reckon that they are as ancient as anything else. Any account of Roman History is surely dotted with absolute psychopaths. But Caligula didn’t have the internet, a global media apparatus or suicide drones. Lately, it just feels like we’ve given them the keys to the shop and gone inside to watch Judge Judy while they destroy everything.

I hope I’m wrong or perhaps not seeing the big picture

Have you ever had an experience of losing somebody and your brain knows what’s happened but heart isn’t there yet? There is an intellectual journey and an idea that you might just power through if you can keep framing this loss into different perspectives. And that’s fine. These can be powerful methods and useful in certain situations. But your heart always catches up.

I just lost my grandmother on Friday and for about two days I existed in a pseudo life. There were plenty of things to be done and people to check on. I now realize that I was just shocked for a couple days. After a rehearsal on Sunday, the hearts truth started to catch up with me. And I felt deep sadness.

There is a gift in sadness sometimes. Love requires the possibility of loss, but in that way, we can finally get how precious the people in our lives are. I’m not going to see my grandma again in this life but I do get to see the people that are still here and I value the perspective my grandmother gave me. She helped me see them as precious.
