First blogging

好…這是Scott部落格的第一篇文章，嗯…誰會有興趣知道我想說什麼？我開始緊張了…接著，我想到，每次緊張時，腦中總會出現一個小小的聲音，也許每個人都有類似的經驗，那聲音說：「我不夠好。」一但意識到它的存在，我便深吸一口氣、對自己說：「是的！我就是要在此分享我的經驗、力量與希望！對這篇文章有興趣、或讀了以後覺得受用的人，自然會繼續讀下去，而其他的人…就別擔心了。」

我在紐約時期所創作的歌曲，能夠在今日、以嶄新的樣貌重生，真是個奇蹟。我將整個故事寫在我的音樂繪本裡（3月23日已在全國7-11上架），然而，這個故事，其實可以簡化成一句話：它就這麼發生了！當我正想開始整理這些舊歌曲時，其中一首就和桂綸鎂主演的廣告一起出現在電視、網路上了。

巨大的能量如浪潮迎面而來，我只是乘著這股能量，駛向自我內在的更深處。然而，並非一切都如此簡單順利。實際執行上，編輯一本雜誌是非常的浩大的工程，我的妻子Mia編輯經驗豐富，所以她負責了這本音樂繪本大部分的工作。 （之後我會寫一篇關於跟妻子一起工作的部落格文章，這方面我很有經驗！我和Mia共同經營另一個樂團「聲動」已經八年了 ...有人說，如果這件事沒有毀滅你，便會讓你更堅韌...哈哈哈...一起生活、一起工作，無疑是一個巨大的挑戰和絕佳的修行機會。）
 
雖然，面臨很大的工作量，緊張萬分，甚至有點害怕，但整體上來說，我感覺到的是一股深刻的喜悅，我慶幸能與世界分享這個重要的內在本質，它呈現於外的，不論是畫作、音樂還是故事，都是我多年來、走在療癒及創作之路的真實體驗。現在的我，有能力給出正面能量，因為分享的管道已然敞開，喜悅滿滿。藉著分享生命中曾面臨的挑戰與經驗，而對別人的生命有所助益，真是一種再好不過的感覺。

所以，對，我正陷在混亂工作中，音樂繪本剛完成編輯校對、幾天前正式發行，與一位很幫忙的新夥伴（謝謝小克Crystal）的合作也才剛起步，我們試著找出介紹這個音樂繪本的最好方式，期望將一切完好的呈現給這個既瘋狂又快速的世界。

同時，我的另一個樂團、與Mia合作的「聲動樂團」 www.amovingsound.com剛剛和很酷的美國唱片廠牌www.motema.com確認了我們在歐美的專輯發行巡迴演出日期，為了準備巡迴，一時之間工作量大增。但是，一切都好！

好了，這就是我的第一篇部落格..有點漫無目標地囊括了很多主題，但這也是我最近生活的寫照。期盼之後能更深入探討這些主題，與有興趣的你們分享。

謝謝你花時間讀到這。祝福你在生活的所有體驗中，都能擁有平靜、光明、勇氣與創造力！

Take care

So…..This is the first entry of Scott’s  Blog. Hmmm  why does anyone want to hear what I have to say?   I feel nervous….but then I remember these are the “little voices” that go through my head, and everybody’s head that say  “I am not good enough…..”  Once I recognize the voice and I see it, I take a deep breath and say, Ok Here I am and I am going to share my experience, strength and hope and those who found it interesting or helpful will read it…and others……won’t!

Right now what is happening with the rebirth of my singer songwriter project is kind of a miracle. I wrote the whole story in my magazine (coming out in 7 11  March 23) but the short form is it just happened, the commercial with my song and 桂綸美 came just when I was thinking about starting to do these songs again.   

A huge wave of energy has come from it and I am just riding it. It is taking me deeper into my self. Not all of it is easy. The practical part of making the magazine is a lot of work and my wife Mia is doing a lot of the editing so its alot of work for her too. (later I’ll do another blog entry about what its like to work with your wife….i have a lot of experience with this! mia and I have been working together on our group A Moving Sound for 8 years…they say if it doesn’t kill you it makes you stringer…hahaha…working together, being together in relationship is certainly a great challenge and great opportunity for spiritual practice….)

But though its a lot of work and intense and a bit scary there is a general overall feeling of deep joy. A joy that I am sharing something important with the world and that stuff is my inner essence. It’s art and music and stories that have come from many years of experience and commitment to a healing and creative path. I feel I have something positive to offer and I feel a deep joy that channels have opened so that I can share with people. This is the best of all possible feelings, that the challenges and experiences I have gone through in my life may help others. 

So yes I’m in the middle  of an overwhelming mess of having just finished the magazine and just starting to work with a wonderful helping person (thank you crystal) to figure out how to present all this to this crazy fast world. Also my other group that I am in with Mia www.amovingsound.com  just agreed on the date for our CD release tour in the U.S and Europe with a cool record company, www.motema.com,  so I am doing a lot of work to get that ready at the same time. But as they say…it’s all good!

So there it is my first BLOG entry..it’s kind of “all over the place”  but that’s the way my life is recently. I look forward to writing more about all the things I’ve mentioned and sharing with those who are interested. Thanks for your time. I wish you peace and light, courage and creativity in the things you are experiencing in your life!

Take care

Scott
