a new year

this past year was full of change for me.
i lost my wife and my job on the same day. 
i traveled around the country
and transplanted across the country.
i've written more songs in the past two months
than i wrote in the past 10 years,
and i've been blessed with
the opportunity to perform them
and a bunch of beautiful people
who like to come out
and listen to me sing them.
it's been a long, strange, winding road,
and i have the feeling it's not going to get
any less strange or winding
anytime soon.
good thing i'm buckled in.
