Kelly Boesch - The Porous Heart

 A really moving one from Kelly  . . . .I echo her sentiments here and frankly she tis not alone hey?

This is a sad one today💔. 

The song is called ‘The Porous Heart”.

I have been feeling extremely emotional watching these horrific scenes take place across our country, especially in Minneapolis. I mean their is a motto called "Minneapolis Nice". These are wonderful, thoughtful and kind midwesterners that they are trying to portray as bad people. They are trying to protect their neighbors. This is what neighbors do. I am not a religious person but isn't this what you are taught? I feel like I am living in the upside down world right now. I think that overly empathetic people are having an even harder time right now as we watch this horror unfold. Living in California we love the immigrants that are around us. They are the life blood of our community. Kind and wonderful people. There are bad people in every group, just look at ice, but trying to make an entire group of people out to be represented by a tiny minority is ridiculous. it sickens me that people just listen to the propaganda being fed to them without trying to do some research and opening their eyes. We are left feeling helpless and overwhelmed. 

I am not trying to open up a conversation about hate here. I am trying to welcome kind and empathetic comments of support. We all need support right now as we navigate this strange and dark time.

I wanted to somehow portray this in a video. The characters centered in the video are different and open with their hearts and lungs showing. Walking among crowds bearing while their souls. It's so hard for me wrap my head around how people can live lacking empathy or kindness. How do they cut the nerve to the heart. One of the lines I love the most in these lyrics. I made the images in Midjourney using a style ref code that has a very Magritte feel to it. It allows the characters to really stand out and give the feeling that I wanted. It has nothing to do with the lack of diversity in the images and more about just the feeling it portrays. I tried other styles but the characters didn't feel right. Sending this out to all of my fellow empathetic followers and sending you light and kindness. Lyrics written by me, Kelly Boesch. Music created under my creative direction with assistance from Suno.
