While on a meditation retreat at the ashram of Amma Sri Karunamayi in India during the winter of 2019-2020, I began spontaneously and frequently shouting out the name “Hanuman” during my meditation practices. I knew that Hanuman was the monkey-faced deity in Hinduism, but that was really all I knew. And so I prayed thatContinue reading “New recording/video! Lots of original nature footage!”

Wildlife pictures from the Florida Everglades
I spent the month of March in the Everglades fishing, practicing yoga, playing music, and making videos. Here are some pics I took along the way!
Live Performance of Ganesha Kirtan
I recorded this inside my van by the edge of a pond in the Everglades. Ganesha is special to my heart, and I believe that he has been helping me develop my music and transition into sacred Hindu music, especially in blessing me and helping me learn how to play the dholak. It’s a longContinue reading “Live Performance of Ganesha Kirtan”
Bass fishing in the Everglades
I spent much of my youth bass fishing. I grew up across the street from a lake, and as soon as I got my drivers license, everyday after school I would drive to Bull Run River fishing till dark, always wading in the river. Fishing brought me so much peace, joy, and discovery, and reallyContinue reading “Bass fishing in the Everglades”
Reflections on alligators with original footage and pics
I spent the past month bass fishing in the swamp waters of the Florida Everglades in constant company with alligators. In fact even my campsite is on the edge of a pond hosting several gators. I’ve seen thousands of alligators throughout my lifetime, but never have had such an opportunity coexist with them and observeContinue reading “Reflections on alligators with original footage and pics”

My dog Kody passed away tonight
The few of you who followed my “40 Days In The Desert” writing project are aware that while I was in Florida recently, my dog Kody became very ill suffering a near kidney failure and had to receive i.v. treatments at the vet for two days. It turns out the cause of his kidney failureContinue reading “My dog Kody passed away tonight”
Two New Poems
Also, I realize I never finished my “Twelve Days Before Christmas” project. I’ll make up the two missing days shortly. Happy New Year.
A song written on Christmas Eve and Christmas 2020 – “Just Like A Seed”
This is a raw and nascent rough draft to be refined, honed, and eventually recorded. Since this arose on Christmas by it’s own volition, I figured I’d put out the raw rendition to not impede the flow of Spirit. Merry Christmas.
