A random collection of thoughts on a variety of topics
One of the wonderful things about the internet and the modern digital media age is how easy it is to create and share works of art! Here’s some details on just two of the upcoming movies that I’m following. You can find out more about each project by clicking on the images. Dahm the Bard … Read more
Recently I’ve discovered Dahm the Bard. He’s a folk artist that does a lot of pagan related music. His tunes are very catchy and I find that I sing and hum along with the music (even when I’m listening at work!) Here’s one of his pieces from YouTube called “The Winter King”

There’s something much more personal for me about hand writing my thoughts, but I’ve spent so much of my live with … Read more
