Cross-Pollination

Careful not to be locked in your world.

Exposure to “otherness” will leads us all to see that we are all afterthe same thing…hope.

Cowboy boots can learn a little something on a Manhattan subway, andso can Brooks Brothers sleeves rolled up to serve at a shelter.

These boots were not just made for horseback, and these suits werealso meant for serving, not just selling.

It never ceases to amaze me how much “we” and “otherness” have in common. In the same breath, I’m always taken by the beauty that unfolds in the aftermath of cross-pollination.

The fingers of a bluegrass mandolin can learn a lot from a blue jazz soul.
