They say "the days are long but the years are short," and while the phrase contains real wisdom, I find that the more closely you look at a year, the longer it seems to get.
I’m feeling more grateful than ever for the wilderness all around us. Without question it is imperiled, yet it remains so vital. It stirs me like nothing else. In fact, I am coming to understand that all the music I write arises directly out of this region and its unfathomable splendor.
