I found an old song I wrote and recorded in the mid-1980s when I was a teenager, just me and a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder. The audio is raw and imperfect, but full of heart and memory. I paired it with a restored photo from that era.

Sometimes “creative order” looks like photo 2… and sometimes like photo 3. 😅
I’ve been organizing, downsizing & letting things breathe — in my workspace - and in my head.
Growing my hair and beard a bit too, as if to balance the scales ⚖
Autumn always feels like the season for quiet change. 🍂
