One year ago today I wrote my first blog post here.
I started the post like this.
“I’ve always loved music. At this point in my life, I sometimes feel like my ability to hear things with open heart, mind and ears has slipped away.“
Truthfully the last year has been challenging for me on many levels. It was much more than my ability to hear things with an open heart and mind that was in doubt.
I have written about myself, people I have lost and people I love around me. And continue to deal with how I keep an open heart and live life while the opportunity is in front of me.
And – as I grow older – to not be caught up too much in reflections on a past I cant change or a future that I cant really solve.
Except to be awake, true to myself and the people I love – which frankly has been harder than I ever imagined.
My love to you.

Many of my posts have involved water, swimming and some sense of a shore – with varying degrees of hope about if/how/when I might reach it.
Who knows – maybe someday I will be out of the water and standing back on the shore.

Just like the sun over the mountain top
You know I’ll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning times
Like sunlight dancing on your skin
What you see is what I’ve been
There is nothing I could hide from you
You see me better than I can
Out on the roads that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
’til I can gain control again
Like a lighthouse you must stand alone
And mark a sailor’s journey’s end
Nno matter what seas I have been sailing on
I’ll always row this way again
Out on the roads that lie before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
’til I can gain control again
I only hope that you can hold me now
’til I can gain control again
