Paradise Is Where You Find It (2:07)

12-string acoustic, 7-string, bowed device, slide guitar

I was originally going to call this “Paradise Begins At Home”, but that was vetoed for a number of reasons, not the least of which was that for people in abusive situations paradise definitely does not begin at home. OK, where then? Where you find it. I almost said, “Where you make it”, and in most ways I agree with that. But “where you find it” brings us back to the beginning, to the idea of looking for it in the first place, and it has a kind of Zen koan feel to it, which I liked. My point with the title is, don’t have a rigid view of these things. Rigidity is a death characteristic. Rigidity is also characteristic of fanatics. This is not a coincidence. If you really want to find paradise, you’d better lighten up and start looking in the little moments around you, at what makes life good. It may be that our only paradise is right under our noses, and we’ve steadfastly ignored it. Paradise isn’t tomorrow. Paradise is now.
