Singing in the Car

I love singing — just playing around really, not taking it too seriously. I recorded this in the car while Willow was in Canadian Tire. “When the Party’s Over”

Algonquin Park Wildlife Highlights

Willow and I recently went to Algonquin Park for 10 nights, and experienced so many amazing wildlife moments! I have created a video compilation of some of my favourite encounters.

The Spirit of Algonquin

At the end of April we went to Algonquin Park and enjoyed a beautiful time of wildlife viewing. It means a lot to me to connect with nature and animals, so when I saw a moose get spooked by a loud truck, I instinctively put out my arm and said, “It’s okay.” The moose had abruptly moved to bolt, but now stopped instead to gaze at me, and then went back to drinking from a little stream. It was an amazing feeling.

Here is a video compilation of the trip’s highlights, with music composed by me.

New Album: When the Ravenmaster Calls

New Original Music

I wrote a new song that evokes, for me, the feeling of Spring crashing in.

When All is Won [Original Music]

Once in a while I manage to create something I really like. It’s a good feeling — it’s what keeps me going.

Mystery is Bliss [Original Music]

I put a lot of work into this new song — and I’m still not completely thrilled with it, but it’s definitely interesting.

Potential is the Secret to Joy

Do not look with wonder at the masters of crafts or sciences; admire instead the natural imagination of a child to sees potential in anything. If you can realize the potential of the present moment and truly connect with that feeling, you have recaptured the spirit of a child who so naturally explores their imagination to the fullest, in joy and wonder and laughter.

Of Meaning and Existential Crisis

Meaning has no place in thoughts of the future, but only in how you think of the now.

This is my answer to all you existentially-minded souls, all who just seek a reason… All who have feared an empty, bleak future.

Care about something and feel the meaning of that, here in the now.

That’s all there is to it. You can only feel meaning in the present moment. So reflect on what you do care about, let yourself truly feel, and go from there.
