about

It takes a little longer to mail a letter the old fashioned way, but it means a little more as well. When I learn about women’s struggles in the man’s world I live in the myth of the savior. I want to be the knight in shining armor, so I write songs like this. However, I change the role as savior, I identify the struggle of my wife and the only solution I can offer is that fear is not what defines us, shame does own us if we own it. If we write the book then we become part of the living. So much of this shadow is about surrender.

The rain is falling
Put your mind to rest
Swallow its rhythm an
Surrender your regrets

We remember to listen to that voice that guides us. Our ancestral calling to be whole, brave, and honest.

Whispers are blowing
Through the vacant nests of our mind
Climb that oak
To find

The truth is eternal, and because it is eternal it is a:

Simple truth
That fear
For this moment, be right here

The challenge we all face is the challenge of the moment. A zen is a practice of patience and acceptance of our memory and the skill to craft your memory.

lyrics

The rain is falling
Put your mind to rest
Swallow the rhythm
And surrender your regrets

Whispers are blowing
Through the vacant nest of your mind
Climb that Oak
to find

That simple truth: that fear
But for this moment
Be right here
In my heart, in my eyes

Forgive yourself
And forget the rules
The world is nothing more
Than love and hate and fools

The heart is the mind’s own cure
Turn your love on
And close that door

Don’t be ashamed of that fear
You were meant to be right here

In my arms
In my life
