Nature sustains me, and the sacredness of nature keeps drawing me to its special places. When I've been world-weary I've gone into nature, and have been renewed. Blues is like that.
The people who sing and play the blues so beautifully, and those who make the podcasts, to spread the word on what's happening in the blues world today. I've tried to make a list of the blues podcasts I've discovered, and try to listen to regularly. When I know the myspace page of the podcast, I've added it, too. Sometimes there's more than one URL by which the podcast can be reached. They're sort of listed in the order I discovered them.1)

Artists I keep going back to--Lightnin Hopkins, Muddy Waters, Tracy Nelson. These days spend a lot of time listening to blues podcasts, and ordering CDs from artists I discover there.
Democracy Now!
Have several thousand of them. Reading has been an important activity of mine for over half a century. Now also spend at least an hour everyday reading news and commentary on the internet. One book I've been spending time with recently is the Bible. Another is the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and a third is the I Ching....if you're into the last, the following link may be interesting Iching And...I've also been rediscovering Emily Dickinson lately. A fine poet, sensitive, brilliant, deep, passionate . . . . . and delightful.
Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Gandhi, H D Thoreau, Martin Luther King jr., Cesar Chavez, just to name just a few. I hate discrimination and dictatorship, and my heroes are all those who fight for freedom and equality for all, with a deep sense of social responsibility, and without the use of rose-colored glasses.
