Today
Today I’m going to be more of who I am then I was yesterday. Then we can see and wonder about tomorrow. - dbA


Irish Canyon
Irish Canyon, these dark red rocks have attracted nomadic souls from the beginning of time. I never pass through without stopping to absorb. Even when blanketed with new snow, it cradles high energy for the seeker. This mystical entrance is a venue for healing and refueling of being. dbA


Unending Shadow
Once the line of poetry is written it glows with a constant light of who you are. A light that casts an unending shadow of who you were. - dbA


Some Mornings

Entry #1
The question is nothing more than inquiry and wonder, but it is the answer that I fear. How real is the reality? Is it the eternity of the universe, unchangeable to my wishes and desires? Or now, as the chicken is full of cornflakes and banana strings jumping from the table, will I feel change and understanding? This euphoric feeling everyone talks about without leaving the comfort and safety of home? I’ll just continue to tell myself that change is beautiful, grati


Meet Eddie!
Meet Eddie! The farrow cat that found domestication to be more fulfilling. This is a work bench in the back, the road studio of the Chool Bus, which is a converted 1991 International School Bus. As I was pounding copper, Eddie came to see what I was doing and found a sun spot to have a rest.

Drew Barrymore
I finally met Drew Barrymore and she was everything that I imagined, in fact, a bit more. I was so enchanted with the encounter that I felt an essential need to gift her with something, but all I had was some pocket sand from a beach in Nicaragua. A place where life was as it should be.

The Comfort of Self

with being.
It is not
the same path

and that is all right,
it shouldn’t be.
Just remember
as you see me
wandering in the free

I am not alone. - dbA Chronologies, Excerpts, Fragments and Reflections!

A Half Page
#1 I believe the only real estate I require are the stones, twigs, feathers and memories I gather from the places I visit. When I see, touch and hold them, I am swept back to the moment I reached for them. Once again I hold it for the first time, when I ever so gently placed it into my pocket, letting all the elements of being where I was return. - dbA #2
The words that are left are folded and tucked away in your mind, are the words that are haunting you and screaming to be
