Quietly it begins.  
It starts from a spark and is nurtured to life. 
It grows and it changes.  
It loves.  It dreams.  
It gets lost but finds a way.  
It hurts and heals.  
It adapts and it learns.  
At some point it hits its prime.  
It seems to have it all for what seems only a little while.  
It begins to lose and starts to fear.
It starts to truly appreciate.
It starts to remember and reminisce.  
It knows it will all end someday.  
It searches, longs for, and hopes.  
It dreams again and searches for peace. 
It abruptly and inevitably ends--always too soon.  
It is the grand cycle of your life.

Regardless of the stage of your life cycle, reflect on where you've been.  What is most important to you?  What do you cherish?  Do you appreciate?  Reflect on what you've learned to become who you are.  What is next to come?  How will you experience it?  Focus on carrying the very best of you into the cycle that remains.

Lifecycle - Part 1 of the Life Cycles Meditative Soundscapes Series

Collection of creative scraps of home studio ventures by solitary musician/songwriter for personal enjoyment. All works written, performed, recorded and produced by just me unless otherwise noted.  First instrument - saxophone, ventured into the guitar, then kept going.  
But I absolutely love creating and collaborating and building songs together with others.  So, this site contains solo works, collaborations and a playlist nod to a long-time revolving door of music loving players we've called Madd Cow.

What's next?  Who knows.
