It started simply enough with a band I assembled in the early 90s called Fulcrum. I was going through a Christian-centric phase of my spiritual journey at the time, and the image came to me that if God needed a lever with which to move the Earth, he'd need a fulcrum to rest his stick on. I wanted to be that for him.
I've moved away from Christ-as-savior since then and more toward Christ-as-one-of-many-enlightened-individuals-who-have-walked-the-face-of-this-rock-over-the-course-of-history, but the conceit remains: I still want to move people away from darkness and toward light; out of bad feeling into good; out of silence and into action. I was about to add "to the limited extent that I'm able", but why should I impose a limit on myself?
Because the conceit remains, my current musical project is called @Fulcrum, which is where I feel like I want to be and which I believe we all have the capability to be if we want it. We can move others, if not with a stick, then with our love.
