artist & musician
I’m in transit, between stations; movement is my passion play, a continuous reverence obscured by my vow of silence. The decision not to speak of things is a fence around the most sacred, the tabernacle of privates.
It's amazing the way things, apparently disconnected, hang together.
We must never forget the joy of doing something slow and something difficult, the satisfaction of not doing what is easiest. The constellation of inconvenient choices may be all that stands between us and a life of total, efficient conformity.

a discipline is not a tree but a network
a practice is not a network but a map
the world is not a map but a rich, luscious, complex territory
i have to remind myself; i'm making music with no precedent. don't worry so much about what they sound like now. the songs will evolve and grow, giving way for a clearer voice throughout the process.
"meaning comes as the last process of speaking, of connecting words, after feeling, after intentionality"
Everything is beautiful and I am so sad. This is how the heart makes a duet of wonder and grief. The light spraying through the lace of the fern is as delicate as the fibers of memory forming their web around the knot in my throat. The breeze makes the birds move from branch to branch as this ache makes me look for those I’ve lost in the next room, in the next song, in the laugh of the next stranger. In the very center, under it all, what we have that no one can take away and all that we’ve lost face each other. It is there that I’m adrift, feeling punctured by a holiness that exists inside everything. I am so sad and everything is beautiful.
