22 years today Each day we grow more deeply in love, I feel the pleasure of our togetherness. The strength of our partnership. I love a quiet walk on the beach, and I love when we have some huge domestic task, and we buckle down and do the job together. (1/4)

two related thoughts this morning: - A driving force of the current social order is the use of wounded victimhood as moral leverage to escape accountability. - If detecting and healing untreated childhood trauma were made a global priority, the world would move closer to coherence and peace.

Great article that came out in several Dutch media today about Trypoul Recording Studios, and the two *sold out* shows Astrid Young and & I have there next month! "Two passionate legends... Musical Icons..." why thank you! You can catch us around NL in September linktr.ee/kenstringfellow

Vacation 🫠

Had a brief visit to my old love Paris…looking beautiful today.

And that's a wrap on shows for me this summer, thank you to everyone who helped make these shows so wonderful and unique! Last night on Sylt was extremely special, it's a beautiful little hidden corner of the world up there. Time to rest, recover, write, and lay the foundation for the year to come.
