Life's Duet
It’s been 10 years since I played music. I played piano growing up. It gave me power. It gave me feeling. I could create with the stroke of a finger. The sound shook the walls, vibrating the colors, lifting them from their isolation to sing and dance with my song.

The Song that Broke the Cycle: Addicted! (And Other Helpful Tunes)
In 9th Grade Junior High, after a six-year hiatus, Rush, the Canadian trio titans of the progressive rock world, went on tour promoting their newest album, Vapor Trails. My entire family, extended and all, rushed off to see the live show in Salt Lake City, Utah. All except for me. I claimed I didn’t care much for Rush and stayed home to watch the younglings. What did I actually do? Turned on the electronic babysitter, slunk away to the computer, took to the internet, and watched porn, played video games, then watched some more porn. And more. When my family returned in band t-shirts with smiles and memories I realized I had missed out on something great. In truth, I loved Rush, especially their newest album.

Five Days Before the Dawn
On the first day, I had hoped it was all a mistake. I liked to read; so why did they take my books? I didn't like to raise my voice or laugh hysterically but I did like sharing stories and jokes. Why then were all the jokes about me? I didn't understand what I did wrong.

A Legacy of Musical Souls
INTRODUCTION My earliest memory in life is the sound of my mother's voice singing "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean", which you can hear done well by clicking the link below. It doesn't capture that maternal warmth my mother had, but it is a beautiful rendition of the song.

Also sprach das Selbst
Like all children, I was born as a being of curiosity and joy. Though perhaps I had too much kindness and silence in me. Nature called to me. And like all children I had what some thing of as a secret need for love. Perhaps mine was greater than others, as I was never fed quite enough. Thus solitude and sadness lurked at the edges from a young age.

Relationships and Faith
Stories are the best way to understand someone else’s perspective. Storytelling allows for the discussion of difficult emotions and for the processing of life circumstances. The telling of stories also allows for the dissection of one’s current mood. To understand why one may be angry, sad, hurt, or running through an entire assortment of emotions. Stories can match any situation, and that is what makes them so effective.
