Writing is a blessing. This blog is a blessing. It’s a channel to the world, to all of you, and I couldn’t be more grateful: For the voice; For the opportunity; For the feedback; For the community. 1,000 posts earlier this week. Fitting it would be with the title “Why Worry.” Writing is a primary …

Lyrics Post: “Running To Stand Still”
I’ve been feeling this way a lot lately. Thought I would share. "Running To Stand Still" “And so she woke up Woke up from where she was Lying still Said I gotta do something About where we're going Step on a steam train Step out of the driving rain, maybe Run from the darkness in …
Lyrics Post: “Better Way”
The first time I heard this song I was inspired. The words encourage, fortify. The music builds, layered, energized. Let it fill you, spur you on. BETTER WAY “I'm a living sunset Lightning in my bones Push me to the edge But my will is stone Fools will be fools And wise will be wise …

Lyrics Post: “Ice Cream Man”, Van Halen
I came to know this band just as I was starting to come of age. I was 12. I heard them with some cousins back East; Van Halen II had just been released. It was the beginning of a love affair, a visceral experience that goes on to this day. Eddie Van Halen was at …
