“The more important a call or action is to our soul’s evolution, the more Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.” – Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

farewell

Nancy King, jazz singer (1940–2025)

“By [1996] she was earning a reputation in the jazz media as a musician whose resistance to commercial exposure kept her flying ever under the radar. And she was OK with that. ‘I wouldn’t have traded it for anything,’ she told The Vancouver Province. ‘If I had to do it all again, I would – for my music. I’ve not sold out.’”

Thanks for coming, dear makers and shakers. See you tomorrow ☕
