Our minds are a form of an echo chamber.   Deep in our minds our thoughts, impressions and actions can have an echo effect where we hear and replay things again and again.  Sometimes it can torment us, sometimes it can bring peace.   Seek those places of the mind that bring us the most joy!

Echoes

This was my very first song I created.  It was one of those songs that came to me fairly quickly and was for the most part completed in a couple of days.  I believe it was near the end of 1985.   I never recorded it digitally until 2021.  It is one of my favorites simply if, for no other reason that it was the first and it seems to me to have a nice flow through the various sections.

Roam

On the Roam

For many, there is always a calmness and peace and level of excitement that arises when returning home for the holidays or for other reasons to be with loved ones.

The Journey Home

Sometimes Storms arise that are thrilling to watch, and soothing, in their own complexity

The Calming Storm: Arrival

The Calming Storm: Part 1 - The Storm Arises

God imparts wisdom to us line upon line, precept on precept.  This song, still in process, is an example of this.  It starting with one tiny little piece I liked, but I struggled to find a way to make it into a song.   It has evolved slowly over time.  I view it as a "gift" slowly received.   We all have different gifts that the Almighty imparts to each of us a little at a time.  Searching for those gifts and persistence in developing them is part of what he wants from us.  What gifts is God trying to impart to you?  Seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you!

Dancing in my Dream

Dancing In A Dream

This is a continuation of the theme of a previous "Journey" song, the "Journey Home".    It veers into a different direction as our life's journey's often start in similar places but take us in many different directions and we end up with differing experiences from each journey.

The Journey Beyond

When life is hard seemingly beyond our control, we must remember there will be another day, another time, another chance to make it better.  To fix what went wrong.  A relationship, a new job, a physical ailment, an emotional trial.  Give it another try, another chance, another day and see what it will bring

The Sun Will Rise Again!

See to find those moments when you feel peace and harmony.   For me, this can be like a moment at the beach watching the birds fly and the waves come in without a worry in the world, especially early in the morning before the sun arises and before anyone else is around

The Search

Stroll on the Beach

Playing piano is a hobby.  I have never learned to read music but just have fun trying to create songs in my spare time.
