From the Hearth
Part writing nook, part practice pad, this is where ideas and visions are honored and offered freely.
If something resonates, throw a log on the fire and share your thoughts in the comments.
Dusty Demos: Be Better
I just dug this up from the basement - a 2017 recording of “Be Better” from my first album, Coming of Age. Should I arrange it for harp??
Tapetum Lucidum is already winning awards
As a member of the National Speleological Society, I decided to submit a writeup of Tapetum to their Arts & Letters publication, Illuminations. I included some photos I took inside Tawney’s Cave, one of myself with the lyrics to “Stalactites”, and a link to the track as-is (unfinished). Since I couldn’t physically attend the NSS convention, it was quite a surprise when I received an email letting me know I had won an award for it.
Calling All Curious Cavers
A call to all curious cavers:

This week I invite you to join me in pausing any time you hear a bell, gong, or chime sound. Just breathe and listen for 15 seconds – that’s it.
