Terrapin Station

Inspiration, move me brightly…
Light the song with sense and color…
(Grateful Dead – Terrapin Station)

Inspiration…it’s the basis for all greatness. Without inspiration, where would we all be? How would we get our ideas out? How would we accomplish our goals? How would we live our lives?

As you know, your market manager is a Dead Head taking much inspiration from her love of The Grateful Dead. When people say there is/was nothing like a Grateful Dead concert, well, that is very true. But, what is really amazing, really inspiring, is that each individual would take what they would from each performance. Terrapin Station was a suite of songs/music. A drifting, haunting, suite of Jerry’s voice, drums, taking you on an inspiring journey and then leaving you feeling much different than before the suite began. Your mind could float through the beats, the lyrics, and in the end, you would look around and think…wow…yes, and yes.

I use the term, Inspiration, Move Me Brightly, in quite a lot of my Cosmic Charlie writings and promoting. Inspiration is what I am all about, what I try to make both of my businesses about, and what I love about this little local market of love.

Each and every vendor in this market brings their own spark, their own imagination, their own inspiration. I love hearing from them, each week. I get lost in what they all are doing, working on, planning, executing. This market is just a hotbed of inspiration. A band of richness in ideas. This little market that has become such a rich in ideas little family, continues to amaze me and inspire me, each and everyday.

Much like the years when I was standing at Dead shows, finding inspiration everywhere I looked and listened, I get that same inspired feeling with my band of fearless vendors, keeping the inspiration alive and well.

This is Monday morning. I am blown away by the numbers, so far, at this market. We have all of today and all of tomorrow to order but we are poised to blast through and possibly break our highest record.

Be inspired to order…if you have never placed an order, be inspired to do so. You never know where that first leap will take you. Just as you never knew quite where Jerry’s voice and music would take you, it was always better on the other end, after that leap into his magic and lyrics. This market can do the same. It can turn you on to our local vibe, it can start your local journey, and it can inspire you to always turn to us for all of your local goodness.

Take the journey…

Peace and Love,
