Bright Eyes: Ten Songs For New Ears September 11, 2010

One of life’s most pleasurable “little things” that I relish with youthful zeal is sharing new music with new ears, or old music with new ears.  I should rephrase that first sentence.  The music itself may or may not be “new,” but when it’s new to the listener that’s all that really matters, isn’t it? [...]

Be Kind August 20, 2010

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle…”  — Plato In your life there may be the one.  The one that you think of most often.  The one that keeps you up nights.  The one that you think of first as you stumble into the kitchen.  Sure, you notice other ones.  You [...]

Live and Let Live July 1, 2010

When I find them in my house I don’t kill spiders that look like all they eat are tiny insects.  If the spider is large enough to bite me, however, I kill it with disgusted satisfaction. There are many things in this life that I want to learn about, too many to list here.  Yet [...]

We pine for that which we do not posses.  In the pining there smolders crimson embers, beyond the quenching waters of imperfect fulfillment.  Burning deep within, protected and nurtured by the sparks of connection, the combustion of common thought, the conflagration of shared experience, recline our untested hopes—our sanguine appraisals. Such are the fantastic dreams [...]

A Letter To My Father… April 9, 2010

Men are capable of caring.  They really are.  They just have to be reminded once in a while that they’re supposed to care.  I can attest to this reality in my own life.  I care deeply about my family.   Yet major life events come and go in the lives of my loved ones and I’m [...]

Christos Anesti Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison, Amen.

For They That Make Tender My Heart April 2, 2010

It’s the small things in life—the brief moments.  And yet, those are the big things, after all, aren’t they?  Those very instances, the flickers of recognition, the beam of connection, the thrill of understanding, the shudder of hope, are there things more grand than these? In and of themselves these little experiences wisp away, mists [...]
