Welcome to Ruminations

         A spiritual haven celebrating the artist heroes and promoting my passions and lifework. Below you will find some of my own poetry, selections from my Cantata of the Day project, biographical snippets and works of the greatest artists, scientists, scholars and philosophers, and thoughts on virtue ethics and living mindfully/meaningfully.
          The poetic work you see at right on desktop (above on mobile) is the namesake, impetus and centerpiece for this website. Curated over the past decade, I aim to make this work something like Whitman's Leaves of Grass: a collection to which I will add as the years go on, gathering my ruminations under one title. No doubt it will go through many restructurings, but the document you see here is the latest version.

          It is a short 10 pages, so I hope you will take a moment today to honor my Ruminations with a bit of yours.
