new song and update on the homepage! a day late, but ah well. feeling a little under the weather lately, pals, but such is the way sometimes. as usual, if you'd like to skip to the video, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSWDRVZHbKw

I can identify. Thankfully, the sun is still there hidden behind a cloud, and its warmth feels so pleasant when it appears after a rain.

lovely song as always :^) and how you've been feeling definitely resonates with me as well. on a related note, just the other day while speaking with a friend, i described myself as a snail slowly making my way through a windstorm hehe but yeah, autumn is the season which replenishes me most!

hi gang! I want to say thanks to those who've had nice things to say about my videos. much, much gratitude to you. I'm back this week with another original song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xsAk0jOADY

10 books read this year so far...not bad...

Pretty awesome! I've been trying to read more lately too.

You've gotta love Pratchett!

Thank you for sharing your creative process! It is interesting. For me, the contrasting imagery of movement and stillness evokes a sense of longing, of appreciating the freedom of the bird in flight, yet at the same time desiring stability by having it perch nearby.

Random Story: A hummingbird flew a foot away from my face as I stood in my backyard one day. Such a majestic little fellow. And as we looked into each other's eyes, I realized that I was an orthinologist in another life. Haha! Happy Monday.
