I’m a songwriter
I write songs
Its what I do
wouldn’t you

if you knew
how its done
now I know
how to grow

a song from a phrase
a song from a chord
a song from a drum
a song you might hum

There is an ancient saying, credited to Confucius that says “The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step”.

When I take a view of the big picture after taking a few backwards steps from the short view I see each day strung out like beads on a string. Viewed individually each one seems unimportant but seen together they can lead to something big. So each day is a chance for me to move closer to my goals, or drift away.

I can achieve something worthwhile by stepping in the same direction. Each day I meditate on my goal and visualize where I am going with my music and my writing. I am doing something that leads to those goals, I am putting a step in the right direction, another bead on the string.

The journey is more important than the destination. On my journey I met people and talk with them and through my music and writing perhaps I help them on their journey as they help me on mine.

As long as I keep taking that step.
