Why alone continues to feel so good,That another mind after a day of souls is too much,Feels like the prison I venture to 4x a week.I cannot feel bothered again,When the phone rings, I cringe.I do not know peace but for only when my body screams,When I cannot catch my breath,Or cannot sleep on my...

Going Back to the Future
Going back to the future, But my time machine is American Airlines flight 2046 through Dallas Fort Worth to Bradley International. On to see what awaits me in the years to come, The grey hairs, the aching bones the arthritic hands, The hugs and kisses, Smiles and surprise, At how far we have come, How... Continue Reading →

“Those Who Believe”
This is a new piece I worked on for a while and am performing this weekend for the first time. It is titled: Those Who Believe.

I take a moment to reflect on what I see and hear and the impact it has on my life and work. Too short but profound.
Find beauty in the simple things.
Late but the start of my journey and reflections on the new path I am walking.
