SILENT HIKING

Where do I begin. Healing myself is a life long journey. I have had the pleasure of community and this has been a blessing in my healing, but sometimes being by myself walking in nature is far more healing. I walk away from the noise of society and technology, into the wild where nature speaks. The gentle sounds of nature can provide healing, but I must be Silent. Once I quiet my mind, I can begin to hear the music of the Universe. The sound that vibrates through the waves along the shore, the calls of birds, the rushing of the water in a creek, the buzzing of insects heal me from noise pollution. Silent Hiking is truly the practice of Holistic Healing as it addresses the entire being - Mind, Body and Spirit. Love and Charity!

A Musicians Life is a Hard Life


I want to come from the heart. Write good songs. Play good songs. Be appreciated. Earn a living and still be true to my art. Musicians know the story all too well. You practice for hours each day, struggle to get it right and then you find a gig and play for a meal and a few tips and wonder why you are doing this. The music is who you are and not playing is like not scratching that itch.
