CURRENT MISSION

Stay afloat in this ship I'm takin' out to the open sea's...

ABOUT ME

I'm young and I'm restless and try to mean what I say. I've lived in the Pacific Northwest most of my life. There it rains, for a good part of the year. I've learned that there's no such thing as bad weather, as long as you have what it takes to keep you dry. I'm travelling to experience life and let it grow; I play guitar and sing, and find songs and stories to be a useful way of life in which a lot may be learned and shared. - "Learn to learn"

PHILOSOPHY

For a rose to blossom its gotta grow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, while I was sitting on a cliff, looking over the beautiful Fraser Valley, there were some circling birds coming up on a warm current. I was on the cliff hundreds of feet up, the 4 birds came circling up, from a hundred or so feet below where I sat. It was the warmest day of Spring, the blossoms were coming out in the trees everywhere beside and behind, at my feet was fresh wild flowers just beginning to show their colour - pale hues of white, golden, purple. The sky was like a blue crystal and the sun like a radiant diamond, just coming into evening, a little beyond the middle of the day, as it was heading to the West. To the East in equal proportion was the Moon, faint in the bright light of the sunny afternoon. The air felt warm and the wind had a cool current to it. The birds circled up: two crows, another hawk, and another bird of prey that was dark, with patterned tail feathers, may have been an immature hawk. They circled up riding the same current -two oily black birds, a grey speckled bird, and another dark coloured bird with beautiful pattern in its tail - right in front of my eyes and up until they passed in front of the sun and out of my vision.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could show you how to play some mean slide guitar, harmonica, a couple chords, or maybe have some good conversation and maybe something you never knew about yourself.
