My favorite lyric from DMB lives inside the song #41. It passes by so quickly that you could hear the song a thousand times and never really notice it. Just a brief line, almost like it slips through the cracks of the music. But for me it carries a kind of gravity that stops everything. It has meant so much to me over the years that I’m almost certain it will become my next tattoo, written in Latin.

What strikes me about it is how it quietly answers one of the oldest questions I’ve wrestled with. The biblical question: am I my brother’s keeper?

He sets it up with a simple line: “What sort of man goes by?”

And then the answer comes just as simply / humbly:

“I will bring water.”

That’s it. No speech. No philosophy. No reasoning. No justification. No hesitation. Just a decision.

Yes. We are responsible for one another. Not in some heavy, moralistic way, but in a small, human way. The quiet responsibility of noticing “thirst” and choosing to carry the “water.”

I hope, in my own imperfect way, that I’ve brought “water” when it was needed. And I hope that you bring “water” too, in whatever form it takes in whatever moment you find yourself in. Because sometimes that simple act is the sum of what kind of people we are.

@DMBGorgeCrew Yes, tickets confirmed. I feel like I won the lottery.

@johnwtomkinson I don’t really care wether he cheated or not. His use of language and aggressive posturing is inappropriate and makes Canada look like thugs.

New Democrats brand Darryl Jones the “grocery gouger.” Hoping no one remembers their 2024 election promise, one of most expensive ever made in BC. grocery rebate of $1,000 per household—all in cost $1.8 billion. After election they refuse to pay up. Now that’s gouging.

@mattdellok Are you tone deaf? Are you actually listening to your constituents? This is not what citizens want.

[John de Goede @jjdegoede]

@Boredmanbryon @concertvids34 And made a lot of people proud.

[John de Goede @jjdegoede]

@mattdellok All you are doing is recycling all the things you’ve tried to do in the last 8 years. All of them have failed. All you are doing is wasting property tax dollars.

[John de Goede @jjdegoede]

@4thOfJuly365 I do.

This is FUCKING INSANE

Trump's ICE goons detained a Canadian actress because of confusion over a work visa for TWO WEEKS - shackled, thrown in a van, sent to AZ, kept awake, not allowed to contact a lawyer

Great to see the British Royal family prostitute themselves to gain favour with Trump. So disappointing to see the British PM refuse to comment (when asked at the press conference today) about his view on Trump calling Canada the 51st state.

@mattdellok 18 Million to repair! How come you missed that report?

@mattdellok Faircomment, Matt, but build a home, not a palace!
