I am awake.I am a therapist, gardener and cook. Music is my passion. I am married to my wife Nancy and we are raising two children. I am interested in a different world than we live in now. I consider myself lucky to have memories of a world that was much simpler, and much less complex. I believe we only need what we need. The greatest gifts that I can give someone is love and two listening ears. My journey back to myself continues. I have learned learned gratitude and open-mindedness. I am still learning how to be simply happy with all of my might and to be right here, right now all of the time. It is all we have. With my patients I am present, a good listener, empathetic and teachable. I try to give the gift of HOPE to all I meet. Let there be abundant joy someday for all of the souls that inhabit this planet. Make music, not war.
