Yes.
What are ordinary gifts from your experience and perspective?
They arrive every single day.
Opportunities to learn.
Opportunities to teach.
Opportunities to help.
Opportunities to ask questions.
Opportunities to .think .differently
Opportunities to lean into discomfort.
Opportunities to have fun doing all of the above.
Small, seemingly insignificant opportunities that know no limit.

Why do you love the wild places?
From an early age, nature and all of Pennsylvania’s wild things, bugs, flowers, birds, creek critters, fish – all of it mesmerized me.
Leadership lesson number one in the wild…
Survival of the fittest.
Civilization has evolved to help us scale protecting our loved ones from literally infinite, wild, threats.
i am remarkably grateful for this.
i do not romanticize living off the land and all that old-timey stuff.
Nevertheless, the wild still exists. It’s smaller, as civilization keeps asking for more space.

Family epiphany?
Yes.
Writing is not hereditary.
Yet i write like my life depends on it.
Perhaps, maybe it does.
Music is not hereditary.
But my Dad and his sister, both accomplished, professional musicians.
Me and my sister, nothing.
Lifestyle and hereditary genes influence everyone.
Always have, always will.
Epiphany?
No.
A BFO – a blinding flash of the obvious.

Happy June 1, 2026.
While the Summer Solstice is three weeks away (June 21, 4:54am), Since childhood, i’ve always celebrated Summer’s arrival on June 1st.
Why?
Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, school was always one week away from being over, usually June 6, 7, or 8th.
There was no real schoolwork that last week.
The arrival of Summer always had ‘June’ written all over it.
