"... the more you become a connoisseur of gratitude, the less you are a victim of resentment, depression, and despair. Gratitude will act as an elixir that will gradually dissolve the hard shell of your ego -- your need to possess and control -- and transform you into a generous being. The sense of gratitude produces true spiritual alchemy, makes us magnanimous -- large souled. " ~ Sam Keen

Rather than get stuck in the massive moment that was last week, we are moving on. Tonight, we are going to the Big Rock Candy Mountain and beyond. We offer a special nod to Sound Tribe Sector 9 (photo above by Landin E. King) since we saw them last week at an amazing Thursday night show in Nashville (review here). This week, we are talking about utopia, dystopia, and so much more. The troubled economy is a dystopia--or is it?
