Six String by Nature
I sat. Slightly confused. Slightly broken. But growing. Healing. The guitar in hand as my fingers conversed with the strings, flirting in a new yet old pattern which emerged from years of infatuation and love. The right hand plucked and tapped a beat as the left moved gently across the fretboard, finding the proper chords to thread a web of sound that flutters into the mountains like a butterfly gently flapping her wings to stay afloat midair. ‘Like a Wave’ was being birthed.

The Wary Eyed Grazer
We sat upon a small knoll overlooking the lands of Yellowstone National Park. It was a cool spring day. The snow began to melt. The land still wet. The day was young. All we had was time. Two brothers in heart but not in blood venturing in to the wilds of Wyoming. Then we heard it. The sound of hooves. Many hooves. Tromping across the land.

A Lions Look
Broken. Lost. A shattered perception of reality. Just before I turned 20 my world flipped upside down. Before, an outgoing lover of life. After, depressed, confused, suicidal, and carrying symptoms of schizophrenia, which I didn't even understand until eight or nine years later. This story is only the beginning.
