Beauty in Differences

Two things usually happen when you meet someone who is very different than you.  Your differences keep you polarized or they can help you reach a higher level of empathy, knowledge and interest.  Usually for me, it's been the ladder. 

Today was a good example of that.  I went to lay down guitar over some beats from a producer I met in the streets. He's very talented and has produced tracks for some artists big in the bay rap scene. We made some music happen which was nice, but nicer was the meeting of minds.  An understanding, positive spirit that defies skin color, culture, etc.  And when it defies these things, it only reinforces it's own strength...

I hold these encounters dear and hope to have a slew of them in Europe!
