About Me
.... a sprout from the desert who read fairytales
and dreamed of trees.... placed at the old upright on a stack of hymnals
at the age of 4 .... first poem, age 6 .... first kiss, age 12 .... first destination upon running away from home at the age of 17, Fort Collins, Colorado ... a time of hitching cross country, thumb in the air, sleeping outside under various night skies.... like benevolent eyes, the stars charted my course .... a pattern of arriving in a town, breaking into the nearest church to play piano, became clear, so I landed in LA to work, play piano and move towards the next step: a music degree.... with an emphasis on music theory, composition and piano performance, I received my B.S. in Music Theory at Western Michigan University in 1983. Acoustics, a requirement for my degree program gave me the most grief... I swore up and down, inbetween tears, that I would NEVER use this class.... but ended up making tuned windchimes, proving myself wrong. Still playing piano, now doing spoken word, and pursuing my masters in psychology, piano improvisation remains a primary passion.

winter, it comes (a pantoum)

(a pantoum)
in dancing cascades, leaves, they fall
autumn, many colored, is the author of it all
winter sends a chilly memo, signed with frosty dew
now time leans in...

touching grace, we lean
upon the shoulder of god,
breathing spirit's breath.

In life, beginnings can be chaotic... therein lies a grand design, where variables dance just out of the reach of our grasp...
Blessings flow, regardless of terrain... and so, I begin this, my music p...
