The sunshine today smells of plants. 🌱
Life doesn't need too many complicated embellishments. A glass of fruit and vegetable juice, a book you haven't finished reading, and the morning light streaming through the window are enough to soothe a busy day.

Wishing everyone a bright and cheerful day. ☁️🤍

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
