Week Forty-Three: Jesse Sample’s Freak of the Week “Cozumel”

Jesse Sample’s Freak of the Week Airs EVERY WEDNESDAY at 6pm Eastern ONLY on RadioRadioX.com 

This is Jesse Sample. Every once in a while, the experience washes over me and I am able to find peace. Things like the ocean, the mountains, or even the steady hum of a car engine can give me some perspective on my existence. They are those rare moments where there is nowhere to be but where I am and nothing to do except what I’m doing. These moments are precious and certain types of music fit them.

Making music can have that effect, but so can a day at the beach with a loved one. Being stuck in traffic isn’t really being stuck if there’s a great radio DJ playing the tracks that even you out. Maybe these moments of “taking it in” or “letting it wash over you” are things we can create.

As with anything worth having, it’s not free…but it doesn’t necessarily cost money. If you want the centeredness of being deep into a yoga routine, you’re gonna have to clear a part of your schedule and you’re gonna have to break out your mat. You might need to consciously say in your head, “I am not going to waste another minute of my life worrying about something dumb.” And eventually you pay your way in.

Maybe the cost of connection is the abandonment of stupid hang-ups.

A special thank you to my friend Vanessa for letting me work in her home in Cozumel.

And Thank you to all of you hanging loose, listening to RadioRadioX. This is the Freak of the Week, “Cozumel”
