Updated on October 16th. Feeling a little outside myself.

NEW – Dance While I Remember – Share this with a friend, then dance with them.

I might forget the words, but not the feelings

NEW – Asian Fever – Yes, it is a cliche, but it fits how I am infatuated by my wife

I am so lucky to have found Charlotte.

NEW – Without Saying a Word – for my two little girls who keep loving me no matter…

For Holly and Rosie

NEW – The Understudy – Am I in control of my own life? If you have seen “Being John Malkavik” in the scene where the little men are inside his head looking out, that is me.

There is an impostor living in my mind, or visa versa

Sometimes the Dream – When you find the one true love they replace your dreams.

Sometimes our dreams become our reality and sometimes our realities become our dream. I only hope my love endures.

I am the Image – If we are all just a perception that lives in our and others’ consciousness, what happens when another person dies? Do we mourn the person or the part of us in that person’s mind?

We are what others define we are

Half a World Away – Charlotte asked me to write a song for her to sing. So here is my first effort at Motown. I tried to incorporate something that was important to her.

Taiwan and Arizona each have their appeal

Two Kinds of Power – For my niece Olivia and her new husband Christian on their wedding day

For Olivia and Christian on their wedding day

The Profile of You – We all create images of the people and events in our lives. These come together in profiles in our consciousness.

I have a vision in my mind of your existence

Spinoza’s Dream — A father walks the shoreline with his daughter, teaching her that every wave is God — not a distant God who listens and decides, but the ocean itself, vast and unbroken, love and matter and meaning all woven into one. Rooted in Spinoza’s vision of a universe where everything is an expression of a single infinite substance, “Spinoza’s Dream” finds something tender and devastating in that philosophy: if God is everything, then forgetting is also God, and even the memories slipping away are still part of the whole.

We are all part of everything

Soul Sister – My sister in law is the strongest person I know. I love her dearly. Bro, you hit the jackpot!

Kris is an incredible force. She is brave, strong, unshakable, and shows true beauty. She is my hero.

Theory of Mind – We are living in the same world, but don’t really understand that we all have different perceptions of how it works.

We can all look at the world and see something completely different.

The Invisible Man (in the leather chair) – When you are there, but people look through you.

Listen, really listen, to that old man in the leather chair before he disappears

Set Me Free – Battle hymn for the demented. Trapped inside my mind but still better than most.

With dementia, your mind becomes your prison.

The Long Way Home – This describes my early signs of Alzheimer’s. Getting lost, but then found.

When I first was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s I got lost, but Charlotte found me

Scrapbook in the Shadows – I was adopted as a baby. This is for the woman that gave me life and more love than I can express.

My mom did the greatest thing, she gave me wings.

Zero Point – I tried to put life in the context of quantum entanglement. Probably not exactly correct, since we are larger than particles, but still…

Everything is energy and vibrations. Nothing is truly solid or static

Morning Grass (晨草) – The love of my life

Siaoching is my morning grass. She makes every day beautiful.

Bougainvilla Fire – While trimming the bougainvillea in our yard, getting my arms and legs poked like a pin cusion, I thought of this.

The Bougainvilla is the perfect metaphor for love in the desert

The Peaceful Warrior – Watch some of Charlie Kirk’s debates on college campuses. Don’t just believe the media, see it and listen, then you will know why I wrote this.
