This is my first attempt at composing a peace to convey the emotion of the love we choose to feel beyond lust, neediness, addictive clinging. It is a conversation across cultures and religions. When we feel this kind of love...we are home.

For Pete's Sake

I grew up on a small farm in rural North Carolina. I spent summers bailing hay and doing my best to avoid serious injury working our cattle. I always wanted to be a musician, but it wasn't possible in my early life. In a school raffle, as chance would have it, I won a small personal computer. A Texas Instruments 99/4A (which I still have and which still works). Winning that computer changed my life and I knew my path would involve programming. Additionally, my grandfather, a flight instructor, played a large role in sparking my interest in aviation. Somewhere along the way I managed to write my own music software and 'made' a simple keyboard. I've never studied much about music theory...but I love trying to make music people like. Today I an author, musician, private pilot, and father of two. I love music, programming, and aviation and I'd like to change all three of those industries in the time I have left to try.
