July 12, 1804.
Alexander Hamilton dies.

The world was wide enough.
It always is—if we choose it.

May we be the people who refuse to pull the trigger.
Who walk away.
Who choose life.

This piece felt risky to write.
It’s about faith—and what happens when belief is betrayed but somehow still survives.

What are we willing to believe?
A scam. A spectacle. A second act.
Something new is coming tomorrow.
🎭 ✝ Stay tuned.

In today’s Musical Midrash, J. Kyle & I talk about the new message The Sound of Music is singing to us these days: a story of prophets, exile, and the moral courage to do the hard thing:

What does The Sound of Music mean to you?

Pride Month may be over. But the fight for our lives, our joy, and our futures is not.

We stood. We stand. We will keep standing.

Thank you for every glittered prayer, every protest step, every song sung in survival.

Pride isn’t over. The month ends, but the call continues.

May you be blessed with softness, with strength, and with people who call you holy.

“This isn’t just art. It’s lament. It’s testimony.
It’s the sacred insistence that truth matters more than comfort — even when it costs everything.”

The world is breaking. And still — love is calling.
Not to trap or shame, but to touch. To feed. To follow.
