My Friend, This is Not the End (Happy Belated 3-11 Day)

Like I have done countless times over the past 30 years, I just had a conversation with a friend about why 311 is my favorite band. I simply told her, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for their music and positivity. If you want to take a deep dive into that and how that all relates to my work with reuse, here's my hour long podcast all about it.

As last week was the band's official holiday, 311 Day, I've been listening to a lot of their music. And one song stuck out, just as it has since it was released a couple of years ago. As a deep thinker, the song "Friend" has always made me think about the fight for peace and a unified planet through positivity; missions the band has always band about. I know that I'm certainly "not ready to let go of this beautiful dream."

But the song surely has a more direct message about close friends in our life. They are truly "worth more than gold." And so when I found out that a lifelong friend of mine (and fellow fan of the band) lost his father, this song came to mind. Enjoy. 🤝
