In Vol. 3 of At the Axis of the West, released yesterday, the song/poem “Trumpets” (track 4) tells a story I was told in Jerusalem — one that has stayed with me for more than thirty years.

New Release Friday: At the Axis of the West, Volume 1. 1. This album began in my travels through the eastern Mediterranean in the early 1990’s. I meant it to be a book of poetry, but the political truths in those poems stirred anger across Turkey, Egypt, Israel, Greece, and elsewhere.

🌿 Soul Learning School — Milton, Genesis, and the Dangers of Literalism Many contemporary Christians, led by evangelicals, insist that the story of Adam and Eve, and everything else in the Bible, must be taken literally. By doing so, they strip the scriptures of their fullness and complexity.

1. Easter (Soul Learning School) Easter has always been the central feast, the most significant holiday, of the Christian year. In the Resurrection, the long‑separated realms of God and creation begin to be united. Chronos spirals into kairos — the circle where all motion begins and ends.

1. Rapture fever is a modern invention. John Nelson Darby introduced it in the 1830s, & the Scofield Bible spread it across America. But it’s not the view held by Augustine, Milton, or the Great Tradition.

Volume 4 of The Necessity of Symbols is now available. The most autobiographical cycle — tracing the symbols that shaped my early life and spiritual imagination and encourage you to do similarly. 🎧 On Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. #TheNecessityOfSymbols #SoulLearningSchool #PoetryAndMusic

NEW RELEASE — Volume 3 of The Necessity of Symbols arrives this Friday. These songs were born of a vision I received last November. From that came The Body Is a Map (Vol. 1 & 2), then Love Threads (Vol. 1 & 2), and now The Necessity of Symbols, the most rooted and autobiographical cycle.

4m · My two NEW song albums LOVE THREADS, VOLUME 1 AND VOLUME 2, just dropped on all major distribution sites. They're really lovely songs about a love affair that takes place mostly in the soul realm. Our souls become embodied in this realm to find expression, learn, and grow.

In mid-November 2025, in that state between waking & sleeping, I saw myself making songs from my own words. Then, in early December, a fellow poet told me about Suno. Something stirred deep inside me. I worked day & night to transform my poetry collection The Body Is a Map into two albums of songs.
