Work together to make a greater impact, and remember to find joy every day.

flowering dogwood in autumn

I've never seen the dogwoods quite so heavy with berries. Last spiring's rains have transformed into a late winter staple for the birds. Such perfection in our conscious, infinite universe.

In my fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, we were required to memorize this, “The True Gentleman.” Back then it was just a thing we did, but now it hits differently, and is needed in today’s men

Title page of the third movement of my choral symphony.

From my choral symphony, for anyone needing some hope:

"Well the thing about hope is it lasts forever
even when it seems to have gone away.

Exactly what will be rebuilt after the demolition seems to be an afterthought to those wielding the sledge hammers.

Town hall protest at Prince Edward County Courthouse, Virginia

What a storied location to protest tRump and rep. John McGuire's destructive policies.

Two doves alighted on our porch rail and remained for hours, even as we used the porch. "Peace will come, peace will come."

Almost got political, decided not to.😘
