I’m a production junkie. Really, nowadays, most times I go to big shows… I’m going for the production, the lights, staging, the stagecraft and performance element. I know that it will sound better at home on my stereo, but the magic of the live show is awesome.
This is a timelapse video of Mainstage at Parachute Festival 09, where I was worked with my good friend Jozsef, who was running the show. Good times, fun times. Check out how we rock it kiwi-styles.
Unbelievably enough we are back in the month of February. I’m looking for new projects both creatively and work-wise. I’m trying to get the rhythm and routine of healthy life back. I’m planning on enjoying more time with family and friends. I’m praying and planning on finance for travel. I have plenty of stuff to blog on and about – more later. Meanwhile.. here’s a couple of favourite pics from Parachute fest last weekend.

Now I have satisfied your aural tastebuds….. that is all.
verse There’s a darkness in me There’s a shadow A fear that sometimes takes hold It leads me right out to the desert Where I face the winds alone But you always lead me home Despite the storms that roar You love me well In darkness I am held By hands that hold the world You never let me go
chorus You are light The glorious light
verse 2 You take everything broken Redeem it My imperfect heart make whole Everything beautiful reveal it And all by your glorious light And you always lead me home Despite the storms that roar You love me well In darkness I am held By hands that hold the world You never let me go
chorus You are light The glorious light You are light in the darkness You are radiant glorious light
Oh my soul, fly to that resting place Where peace is found before my Father’s grace Be still and know, that He is God No darkness can quench His light
Unless you work in a nuclear power plant, the answer is certainly no (and if you work there, I hope the answer is yes.) No, everything is not okay. Not in a growing organization. Not if your company is making change happen, or dealing with customers. How could it be?
And yet, that’s what so many managers focus on. How to make everything okay. We spend so much time smoothing things out, we lose the opportunity for change, or for texture or creativity.
Instead of working so hard to make everything okay, perhaps it is more helpful to work hard at living with a world that rarely is.
