An approaching mood…(I made the music for this one, playing off the theme/feeling of “all along the watchtower”—but with an image of soldier in studio)
For my grandmother and wicker baskets
(When I was a kid I’d go with my grandmother to the laundry mat to watch and wash clothes. She carried a whicker basket to carry the clothes and bring them back home. On the way, we would pass the cemetery where my grandfather was buried).
In honor of the whicker baskets in waiting at every laundry mat in the world:
In the laundry mat, the waiting whicker baskets are the hidden rhythm...
I’m trying to make my own sound tracks—working from image to sound is teaching me about how mediums are connected. The next will be even better-I promise. But this is my first attempt using my own music. Enjoy!
Raw and as is. I keep forming it. Nice sound track though, this one.
Again, the journey towards…the energy of ourselves honored; but then the possibility of collaboration with others, and what that brings into the soundtrack of life. This was a Sunday stroll to visit dear friends. Enjoy!

Dear friends, on the adventure of becoming…
Garden meditations…
The sense of evening in Austin. Enjoy.
This night’s fusion of moon and skin, illuminates my soul, so desperate to think within its own thoughts-whole. When you and I crash, atomically against one another until we know, i am then sure-this light house i saw within me, was signaling something not as far off as imagined. I am encompassed by night, and the light around me is a membrane of hope. i am one, somehow already, despite my...
Poems I'm working on
what we saw then in the light, drew blood
bodies pressing like wax paper
brittle but permanent in substance
I’m not sure what youth was
but a naked river exposed in itself
as morning talks alone on the surface of an unseen forest
or as footsteps in snow keep sounding on some old cemetery
way past dark///
i want to go further now than before
to say the whole line of this...

Playing with this one—thank you for allowing me to transition, etc.
As it is, still playing with it.
Still playing with this one!
What comes…like the sense of present with, in this case, the future. An ongoing meditation, this one-
This one a bit more abstract, but same theme. The loneliness of crossing, and the fragility. This one shot in LA and briefly staring Mark Stoney.
“Crossing” (I’m working on this metaphor…this is a video in progress, i shot in Lower Haight Street, San Francisco, where I used to work in a homeless shelter doing art therapy. This was a corner I came to know).

crown
quietly straightened crown
at night, when no one was watching
not a soul around
His hand said yes,
I’ve decided to set it straight

Go and see what the people think
it won’t all be pretty
but, will shine certainly!
