This is a space where I have a mid life crisis, write about my creative journey, and talk about songwriting and share bits of terrible poetry.

The Woods is live.

The link is working.

Check it out if you are curious.

The Woods Project

Or

Things are very dark and heavy right now in the US.

I am watching in horror and heartbreak as my country descends into senseless madness.

I am watching in slow motion an authoritarian takeover, or at least that attempted betrayal of every value I have held dear.

I do not offer this as escape, but as the idea of a mental refuge.

Psychologists say that those who survive terrible things often have an internal world to retreat to when reality tries to break them. I am giving you a vision of mine. Maybe you can use it or build your own similar place. I fear many of us will need it by the end.

41 poems, a little bit of artwork, 20 minutes to read, an hour to listen to me reading it to you with some music.

I know your time is a huge ask.

I too am guilty of passing interesting things right by.

A quick poem is an easy ask in this attention deficit age.

A small book is monumental.

It was an absolute joy to work on this project over the summer.

I lost myself to the hours.

My second tip for surfing THIS is to spend some time creating. We are all divine beings and creation is a sacred act.

To create. To lose yourself . It will help. It will restore you. It will help you do the hard things when they need to be done.

Love you all. Take care of yourselves. We need you.
