My mild brain injury from anesthesia during a routine procedure in 1990 led me to the beauty to my music from natural foods, yoga exercising and other forms of exercise, and spiritual connecting. It's here to be inspired by my music and a bit of conversation.

Song Lyrics
Verse
I walk this morning
To keep my body up
Moving, strong in my mind
Life seems so long when I do this
Chorus
There's no reason not to try so hard
There is no diagnosis in life
It's what we lead
What we do
Living on the edge of death
Verse
Eventually I'll ride across the sky in a tram
To my favorite hiking path
Through the woods with its deep, twisting turns
of isolation in it's hills
Of closed off destinations
That I scare to deep in my insides
But feel more life
I need that old camper
To attach to a car that I'll pull
When I'm sure I can see
With my mace and bear spray
So I can reach the farthest edge of death
To show people I can make it
Chorus
Verse
I still have a list of things to do
I tire to in my mind
That I can't hold for long
Bridge
Get up and walk
Ride the height car
Hike that same old path that I can
So I can say I made it
I have to make donuts
I don't worry I'm gonna die so soon
It's my next step I look to
It all makes sense
Make donuts
Ride that tram
Make that hill
I will not die
Breathe
I can make it
One more time
At least in my mind
Chorus
Verse
But I know each step I take
In this cold breeze
Will lead me to the next step
On the edge of death
So I can
Make donuts
Ride that tram
Make that hill
I will not die
Breathe
I can make it
One more time
At least in my mind

I can’t believe how successful I feel just waking up earlier in the morning to be outside. I’m completely taken back by that. I was able to write one song outside this week because of this.

I Turn My Head to Cry
Verse
You popped up unexpectedly
Were the same as what I’d seen
I came out quick, a bit cold
Chorus
I turn my head to cry
I’m not used to being
Spoken to so kind
Verse
I kept telling you everything
Negative about me
You said honey
I should let you go you’re tired
Chorus
Verse
I said I need no man
I like to be alone
I won’t get undressed on a first date
Will sleep around if I’m cheated on
You said hun thanks for being so polite
Bridge
I say you go to bed too late
I go in early
I’m going blind
You say you haven’t found the right guy
I lost my baby due to a bad man
He says I have a daughter called Jane
Chorus
