I stumbled across the music of Josh Garrels the other day (Apple | Spotify | Youtube). Somewhere on my trip down the rabbit hole, I found a documentary about him called The Sea In Between. It tells the story of him and his music, and documents a number of his songs preformed live by him and some accompanists out in the wild of Mayne Island, B.C.
What I found most compelling about the whole thing was that it was funded by someone who found his music and essentially said “I really like this thing, and I want there to be more of it in the world.” So he contacted Josh, found Mason Jar Music and bankrolled the journey, the creation of the documentary, and allowed the work to be released for free.
I love that! When faced with something good, enjoyable, and beautiful, he asked himself some version of “what could I do to make more of this exist?” or “What could I do to help others enjoy this?” He came up with his answer, and made it happen.
Is there anything good that you wished there was more of? What’s one thing you could do with your time, energy, or resources to bring more of it into the world?
